The Standard Reserve tests an on-chain monetary model tied to ETH flows

The Standard Reserve is proposing an experimental on-chain monetary system that adjusts token issuance based on net ETH flows in a planned ETH-STANDARD pool built on Uniswap v4. Under the design described in its white paper, positive net ETH flow would push the system into expansion mode, increasing issuance and directing 70% of epoch revenue toward reserves, while flat or negative flow would trigger contraction, slower issuance, and buybacks of STANDARD for burning. The protocol also assigns a central role to Charter NFTs, which function as internal licenses for participants called Bankers. Each Charter starts with one Branch and can scale to as many as 10, with Branch count determining a holder’s share of newly issued STANDARD. Expansion requires purchasing Expansion Licenses in daily Dutch auctions using STANDARD, and those tokens are burned. Exits work differently: Bankers must close Branches to withdraw accrued balances, pay a Resolution Fee tied to seven-day exit pressure, and give up future issuance rights linked to the closed Branches. As of Aug. 24, The Standard Reserve had published its website, app page, and white paper v0.1, but STANDARD and Charter NFTs had not gone live. The project has not yet disclosed a production contract address, a full audit report, or all key operating parameters.
