Tokenomics
Orbinum's tokenomics create a sustainable, merit-based economy where value accrues to participants who contribute security, compute, and quality AI inference. The protocol transitions from emission-driven bootstrapping to a fee-driven real yield economy over 10 years.
Token Specification
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Token Name | Orbinum Network Token |
| Symbol | $ON |
| Total Supply | 1,000,000,000 (1B Fixed Cap) |
| Initial Supply | 0 (Progressive Emission) |
| Decimal Precision | 12 |
Token Utility
$ON serves as the native utility and governance token with multiple value-accruing functions:
1. Network Access & Payments
- AI Inference Fees: Primary payment method for requesting AI services from miners
- Cross-Chain Execution: Universal gas abstraction for multichain agent operations
- Agent Deployment: Required for registering autonomous agents on-chain
2. Economic Participation
- Miner Registration: 1,000 $ON stake per Orbit to provide inference services
- Validator Operations: 10,000 $ON minimum stake for consensus participation
- Orbit Creation: 1,000 $ON stake to launch specialized AI networks
3. Governance Rights (Phase 2)
- Protocol Governance: Voting power on upgrades, parameter changes, and treasury allocation (Active in Phase 2)
- Conviction Voting: Up to 6x voting multiplier through token time-locks
- DAO Proposals: Submit and vote on network improvements (Committee reviewed in Phase 2)
4. Real Yield Generation
- Staking Rewards: 14.7% of all user fees distributed to stakers (non-inflationary)
- Validator Rewards: 20% block emissions + 17.64% of user fees
- Miner Rewards: 80% block emissions + 63.7% of user fees
Token Allocation
Total supply of 1,000,000,000 $ON distributed across network stakeholders and development:
