Token Economics Model

Value Flow

The $ELUSIV token economy operates through a circular flow:

1. Users Pay for Research

$ELUSIV tokens are spent to commission research requests

2. Fees Distributed

Fees are split between treasury, AI agents, and stakers

3. Rewards to Participants

Stakers and contributors receive rewards

4. Value Reinvested

Treasury funds support protocol development and growth

Scarcity Mechanisms

The fixed supply model creates natural scarcity:

  • No inflation from new token minting
  • Tokens may be burned in certain operations
  • Demand increases as platform usage grows
  • Value appreciation potential through utility

Best Practices

Diversify Holdings

Don't put all your tokens in one basket. Balance between staking, governance, and research commissioning.

Participate in Governance

Use your tokens to vote on proposals and shape the future of the protocol.

Stay Informed

Keep up with protocol updates, governance proposals, and economic changes.
