AIT Economics

Notice: AIT Airdrop is now available to Claim

Airdrop does not require payment. Stay safe!

The AI Trader Collective is based on the idea that healthy public goods create a thriving and valuable ecosystem. The economics of this ecosystem are designed to generate value for three constituencies:

  • Value accrues to tokenholders through the productive re-deployment of sequencer revenue. Sequencer revenue is primarily directed to fund public goods, which creates ecosystem value and drives demand for blockspace.

  • Value accrues to contributors and builders directly from retroactive public goods funding and the markets it enables. Builders also benefit symbiotically: it’s better to build in an ecosystem with well-funded tools, education, apps, and infrastructure.

  • Value accrues to users and community members from ongoing airdrops of AIT, from project incentives made possible by AIT ecosystem funding, and from the benefit public goods provide.

Token Distribution Details

At genesis there will be an initial total supply of 210,000,000,000 AIT tokens. The total token supply will deflate at a rate of 2% per year.

64% of the initial token supply (i.e., the aggregate amount of AIT not reserved for core contributors or sugar xaddies) will be distributed to the community as described above. These distributions will be administered over time by the AI Trader Foundation in its role as steward of the AI Trader Collective.

In Year 1, 10% of the initial token supply will be made available to the Foundation for distribution. After the first year, token holders will vote to determine the Foundation’s annual AI Trader distribution budget. The Foundation expects to seek the following annual allocations:

  • 6th month: 10% of the initial token supply

  • 12th month : 5% of the initial token supply

  • 3rd year: 2% of the initial token supply

In general, the release cycle of AIT stipulated in the contract can be clearly shown by the following figure:
