Arbius tokenomics

AIUS serves as the primary currency within the Arbius network, facilitating transactions, incentivizing computation, and rewarding participants. It is designed to operate without a trusted third party, ensuring decentralization and security.

Total Supply

1,000,000 AIUS

Circulating Supply

185,759 AIUS

Token Launch Date

02/14/2024

Mechanics

•

Mining and Rewards: AIUS tokens are mined through a Proof-of-AI-Compute algorithm, promoting reproducible computation across the network.

•

Task Execution and Fees: Users pay AIUS to execute tasks on the platform. These tasks are analogous to transactions and involve computation by solvers (nodes).

•

Solvers and Rewards: Solvers earn AIUS for successfully completing tasks. The system adjusts the reward dynamically based on the total supply of AIUS and the expected emission schedule.

Governance and Use

•

The Arbius DAO utilizes the AIUS tokens for protocol governance, allowing token holders to vote on key decisions.

•

AIUS tokens are also used for staking and liquidity provisioning, supporting the overall stability and functionality of the network.

Special Features

•

Contestation System: A unique system where solvers can contest the solutions provided by others, ensuring accuracy and reliability of the network's output. This also includes a financial incentive structure for resolving disputes.

•

Economic Incentive Layer: Designed to encourage honest participation and enhance network security.

ve-AIUS introduction

$AIUS is transforming decentralized AI with its advanced veAIUS design.

Key Points

Locking Options

Lock $AIUS for a selected time duration. Longer lock times yield more veAIUS (e.g. 100 AIUS locked for 4 years = 100 veAIUS; 1 year = 25 veAIUS).

Voting Weight

Determined by lock amount and duration, decaying over time but extendable.

Process Overview

Lock AIUS: Receive veAIUS NFTs.

Vote: veAIUS holders vote weekly for AI models, earning rewards.

Emission Distribution: Managed by Voter and Gauges based on veAIUS voting weight. With these upgrades, $AIUS enhances decentralized AI engagement and rewards.

Upgraded Tokenomics (Coming Soon)

•

Mining emissions will be cut by 50% in the next contract upgrade (same contract address).

•

The 50% emissions will fund bonding and a vote escrow program for rewarding new models on Arbius.

•

A layer 3 blockchain is in development to scale miners' transaction capabilities and capture transaction fees for the DAO to share with the community.
