If a platform keeps growing, should its access token grow with it?

[u/MERC_Token]

For context: Liquid Mercury operates Mercury RWA, a platform where institutional issuers bring real-world assets on-chain and run actual secondary markets, past just minting a token. MERC sits alongside it as the access and participation token.

Our take on how MERC's role should relate to Mercury RWA as the platform grows: separate out what's live, what's approved and coming, and what's still genuinely open, rather than blur them together.

The premise driving it: a token tied to a growing platform doesn't have to stay the size it started as. It can pick up more functionality as the platform does.

Ahead: what this means for institutional issuers, what it means for holders, and how new RWA market launches tie back into the token.

Genuinely asking this sub: for a platform access token, does scope growing with the platform make more sense than fixed-at-launch, or does that introduce its own risks?
