Tokenomics Plan, Stake and Rewards
8.1 Utility of tokens
Within the PrivAI ecosystem, our native tokens are not just a medium for paying transaction fees; they are the cornerstone of our financial ecosystem. Sellers, GPU providers, freelancers, AI builders receive payments in these tokens, integrating them deeply into the platform's operations.
While we maintain the flexibility for users to opt for fiat currency payments, those choosing to utilize our native tokens will benefit from a reduced fee structure. This incentivized approach not only fosters the use of our tokens, enhancing their utility and circulation within the ecosystem, but also offers a cost-effective solution for our users.
PrivAI will also integrate off-ramp services directly into the platform. This will enable users to effortlessly convert their tokens into local currencies, right within the PrivAI environment.

8.2 Tokenomics plan:
Total supply: 1B tokens
P/S:
Reserves are allocated for new investors.
Ecosystem growth funds are dedicated to marketing, incubation, and community salaries.
Payment Options and Token Buy-Back Mechanism
Fiat Payment Support: While PrivAI is token-centric, customers can still pay using fiat if they prefer. When a customer pays in fiat, PrivAI will handle the backend process to convert fiat payments into tokens.
Token Buy-Back and Burn: To maintain token value and incentivize token holders, PrivAI will allocate at least 25% of its monthly profit to buy back tokens from the market and burn them. This mechanism reduces the circulating supply of tokens, increasing scarcity and benefiting the overall token economy.

a) How to calculate Token Rewards for the “Reward/Communities” allocation group (15% of the total supply)
Monthly Vesting
Each month, a fixed number of AxB tokens will be vested for community rewards. This belongs to the group “reward/communities” allocation. The distribution of these tokens is as follows:
20%: Distributed to staked users
70%: allocated to paid users (who use our platform and pay for it. For more info check our pricing table on our website)
10%: Allocated for reward campaigns (e.g., feedback, engagement).
Distribution Based on Staking Amount
The portion of tokens allocated to staked users will be distributed based on the amount of AxB tokens staked as well as the amount of AxB tokens paid for the service.
Example of Reward Distribution
Monthly Reward Pool: 1,000,000 AxB tokens
Staking Rewards (20% of total): 200,000 AxB tokens
Distributed proportionally based on the amount staked
For example, if User A has staked 500 AxB tokens out of a total of 100,000 AxB tokens staked, User A will receive (500/100,000) * 200,000 = 1000 AxB tokens as monthly staking rewards
Campaign Rewards (10% of total): 100,000 AxB tokens
Distributed based on points earned through various campaigns.
For example, if User B earns 100 points out of a total of 10,000 points awarded for the month, User B will receive (100/10,000) * 100,000 = 1000 AxB tokens as a monthly community rewards
Paid users: (70% of total): 700,000 AxB tokens
Distributed proportionally based on the amount paid (a sum of the whole organization’s amount)
For example, if user C created an account for his organization with 10 members, paid for the 590 USD subscription package. The total revenue of the ecosystem that mon is 100k USD. Then user C will receive : (590/100000)*700000 = 4130 tokens as monthly premium rewards
b) Reward programs:
In our commitment to foster a thriving and engaged community, we've designed a suite of reward programs aimed at incentivizing participation, contribution, and engagement across our ecosystem. These programs are structured to run continuously, providing ongoing opportunities for our community members to earn rewards, until the allocated pool of reward tokens is fully distributed.
Each program is tailored to different community segments, ensuring diverse ways to contribute and benefit from our growing ecosystem.
There are 3 reward programs:
Early Bird Rewards

Retroactive tokens are distributed monthly, starting from the TGE date

b) Allocation of Ecosystem Growth: Supporting Our Community and Ecosystem (15% of the total supply)
To foster sustainable growth and reward valuable contributions, we allocate 15% of the total token supply for ecosystem growth. This allocation is divided into two main categories:
Grants and Funding for Outstanding Projects (35%)
Open-Source Contributor Rewards (65%)
This section outlines the mechanisms for allocating these tokens, including how contributions are rewarded, thresholds to ensure fairness, and strategies for maintaining reserves.
1. Grants and Funding for Outstanding Projects (35%)
We dedicate 35% of the ecosystem growth allocation to fund innovative and impactful projects built on top of our ecosystem. These grants are designed to:
Support developers creating tools, applications, or integrations that expand the ecosystem’s functionality.
Encourage research and development of new use cases for the platform.
Drive education, community growth, and user adoption through hackathons, tutorials, and outreach efforts.
Grant Allocation Process:
Proposal Submission: Developers and teams submit detailed proposals outlining their project’s objectives, technical roadmap, and expected impact.
Community Voting: Token holders vote on the proposals to prioritize projects aligned with the ecosystem’s goals.
Milestone-Based Distribution: Grants are disbursed in phases, tied to the achievement of predefined milestones to ensure accountability and progress.
2. Open-Source Contributor Rewards (65%)
We allocate 65% of the ecosystem growth tokens to reward contributors for their efforts in maintaining and improving the open-source ecosystem. This ensures that contributors are fairly compensated for their time and expertise while fostering innovation and collaboration.
Point-Based Reward System:
To distribute tokens fairly, we use a point system that assigns value to different types of contributions based on their impact, effort, and complexity.
Contribution Types and Ratios:
The contributions are categorized and weighted as follows:
Contribution Type
Ratio (%)
Point Breakdown
Column 4
Column 5
Column 6
Bug Fixes
25%
Minor Bug Fix: 1-2 points
Medium Bug Fix: 3-5 points
Major Bug Fix: 6-8 points
Critical Bug Fix: 9-10 points
Feature Development

Simple Feature: 2-4 points
Medium Feature: 5-7 points
Complex Feature: 8-10 points

Minor Optimization: 1-2 points
Medium Optimization: 3-5 points
Major Optimization: 6-8 points

Medium Bug: 3-5 points
Critical Bug: 6-8 points
Exploit Discovery: 9-10 points
Test Contributions
10%
Basic Testing: 2-4 points
Test Case Development: 5-7 points
3. Monthly Token Distribution
Every month, a fixed number of tokens from the open-source contributor pool are unlocked and distributed based on the total points earned by contributors during that period.
Fairness Mechanism: Threshold for Token Distribution
To prevent scenarios where only a small number of contributors claim all tokens with minimal effort, we implement a threshold system:
Minimum Points Threshold: If the total points earned by all contributors in a given month are less than 500 points, a reduced ratio of 50% of the monthly token allocation will be distributed. The remaining tokens will be added to a community reserve fund.
Reasoning: A threshold of 500 points ensures that contributions reach a baseline level of activity and effort. Distributing only 50% of the allocation incentivizes more participation in subsequent months while maintaining fairness.
Point-to-Token Calculation:
Tokens are distributed proportionally based on the points earned:
Example Calculation:
Monthly Token Pool: 10,000 tokens (for detailed monthly vesting, please check Open link
Total Contributor Points: 1,000 points
Contributor A’s Points: 100 points → He earns: 100*10000/1000 tokens (equal to 1k tokens)
If the total points were below the threshold (e.g., 400 points):
Only 50% of the monthly token pool (5,000 tokens) would be distributed.
Contributor A’s Token Share with reduced distribution. → He earns: 100*5000/400 tokens (equal to 1250 tokens)
Token buyback and burn:
In our commitment to building a sustainable business, we prioritize reinvesting our revenue to expand our tech team, develop new functionalities, and broaden our product offerings. As we achieve profitability, our plan includes allocating at least 25% of our profits towards a token buyback and burn initiative, reinforcing our dedication to enhancing token value and fostering long-term growth.
