AI Agent Tokenomics

V1.0

AI Agents Tokenomics Model 1 - Fair Launch

1. Community & Fair Launch (65%)

Distribution: Public sale, airdrops, liquidity mining, and ecosystem grants.Vesting:

• 30% unlocked at TGE (Token Generation Event): Minimizes initial sell pressure while providing sufficient liquidity.

• 70% linearly vested over 24 months: Encourages long-term holding and reduces dumping.

• Anti-dump Clauses: Dynamic sell limits (e.g., no more than 5% of the balance of holder can be sold daily if the price drops >15% in 24 hours).

2. AI Treasury (12%)

• Initial Funding: 6% unlocked at TGE to bootstrap R&D, infrastructure, and agent training.

• Revenue Share: 6% allocated from protocol fees (e.g., 25% of transaction fees redirected here).

• Use Case: AI agent maintenance, model upgrades, cross-chain interoperability, and emergency reserves.

Increasing treasury funding ensures sufficient resources for long-term development and sustainability.Revenue share provides ongoing financial support without relying solely on token sales.

3. Protocol-Owned Liquidity (12%)

Composition:

• 50% stablecoins (e.g., USDC, DAI): Provides stability and reduces reliance on volatile markets.

• 50% native token: Aligns incentives with token holders and benefits from price appreciation.

Management: Decentralized vault strategies (e.g., yield farming on Aave/Compound) with risk management protocols.A balanced 50/50 split between stablecoins and native tokens ensures stability while allowing token holders to benefit from price appreciation.Risk management safeguards against impermanent loss and smart contract vulnerabilities.

4. Staking & Liquidity Incentives (8%)

APY: 10–20% (dynamic, tied to protocol revenue and usage metrics).

Lock-up Periods:

• Short-term (3–6 months): Base APY of 10%.

• Medium-term (6–12 months): Enhanced APY of 15%.

• Long-term (12+ months): Maximum APY of 20% + governance voting power.

Anti-Inflation Measures:

• 60% of staking rewards sourced from protocol revenue; 40% minted as new tokens.

• Narrowing the APY range to 10–20% makes it competitive while reducing inflationary pressure.

• Governance voting power for long-term lock-ups encourages deeper engagement and decentralization.

5. Strongbox Vault (8%)

Composition:

• 40% stablecoins: Ensures liquidity during market downturns.

• 40% blue-chip crypto (BTC, ETH): Provides exposure to broader market trends.

• 20% DeFi index tokens (e.g., BAL, CRV): Diversifies holdings and generates yield.

Auto-Deployment Mechanism:

• If token price drops >20% within 24 hours, deploy 1–2% of reserves to stabilize the market.

• Reducing stablecoin allocation frees up resources for higher-yield assets while maintaining stability.

• Increasing the auto-deployment threshold to >20% avoids frequent interventions during normal market volatility.

6. Agent Wallet (4%)

Autonomous Functions: Gas fees for AI agents. Cross-agent settlements (e.g., paying for API calls, data sharing).Replenishment: 0.2% of all transaction fees refill this wallet.

7. Core Team (9%)

Vesting Schedule:

• 25% unlocked at mainnet launch.

• 50% linearly vested over 36 months.

• 25% milestone-based unlocks: Tied to specific goals (e.g., 100k monthly users, multi-chain deployment).

Milestone-based unlocks incentivize performance and accountability.

Key Mechanisms

Deflationary Design:

• Base Burn: 0.2% of every transaction.

• Accelerated Burns: Additional 0.1% burned if treasury reserves exceed 200% of the target.

Deflationary mechanisms reduce token supply over time, increasing scarcity and value.

Governance Backstop (3%):

Emergency funds for protocol upgrades, exploits, or market crashes.

Governed by DAO vote (e.g., Snapshot).

An emergency fund ensures the protocol can respond to unforeseen challenges while maintaining decentralization.

Anti-Sybil Design:

Liquidity mining rewards decrease exponentially for large holders (>1% supply).

Prevents centralization and ensures fair distribution of rewards.
