Overview

SHAWARMA.TRADE is a Decentralized Autonomous Business (DAB) protocol that bridges blockchain governance with real-world food service operations. Unlike traditional crypto projects built on speculation, SHAMA derives its value from actual revenue-generating businesses.

​
The Problem

The crypto industry suffers from a fundamental credibility crisis. The vast majority of tokens are backed by nothing — no revenue, no product, no tangible value. When sentiment shifts, these tokens collapse because there is nothing underneath. Meanwhile, real-world businesses generate consistent revenue but lack access to:
  • Decentralized capital formation
  • Transparent governance
  • Global community participation

​
The Solution: Decentralized Autonomous Business (DAB)

SHAWARMA.TRADE introduces the Decentralized Autonomous Business model — a hybrid structure where:
  • Physical businesses are operated by professional managers
  • Strategic oversight is conducted by token holders through on-chain governance
This is not a DAO that votes on code deployments. This is a DAO that votes on real business decisions: where to open the next shop, whether to change suppliers, whether to replace an underperforming operator, how to allocate expansion capital.

​
Core Principles

​
Real Revenue

Every shop generates real income from real customers buying real food. This isn’t yield farming or liquidity mining — it’s commerce.

​
Transparent Operations

  • Livestreams from every shop
  • On-chain sales dashboards
  • Public financial reporting
  • Token holders see everything

​
Deflationary Mechanics

Shop profits buy and burn tokens. More shops = more burn. The token supply only goes down over time.

​
Community Governance

Token holders act as a board of directors, making high-level strategic decisions while professional operators handle daily execution.

​
No Direct Profit Distribution

Holders never receive profit payments. Value accrues through token scarcity. This is a critical design choice for both regulatory and economic reasons.

​
The Business Loop

Customer buys shawarma
        ↓
Shop generates revenue
        ↓
Operating costs are paid (rent, staff, ingredients, equipment)
        ↓
Net profit is calculated (publicly visible on dashboard)
        ↓
Designated percentage of profit is sent to Buyback Contract
        ↓
Contract buys SHAMA on open market (DEX)
        ↓
Purchased tokens are permanently burned
        ↓
Total supply decreases → remaining tokens become scarcer
        ↓
Token holders benefit from reduced supply
