Economic Design
Inflation Control
Initial Rewards: Early contributors receive higher rewards to stimulate network activity.
Deflationary Mechanisms: A portion of transaction fees and staking rewards will be burned periodically to manage supply and promote scarcity.
Dynamic Pricing
Computational gas fees for using the Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine (AIVM) are calculated dynamically, ensuring equitable resource utilization and reducing congestion.
Token Utility
Payments for AI Tasks:
Businesses and individuals use LCAI tokens to pay for AI services like model training and inference through the Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine (AIVM).
Staking for Governance:
LCAI tokens can be staked to participate in the platform's decentralized governance, enabling token holders to vote on protocol updates and ecosystem developments.
Premium Features:
Developers and enterprises can unlock premium features within the AIVM, such as enhanced privacy tools, faster task execution, and advanced computational resources, by staking LCAI.
Sustainability and Scalability
Lightchain AI employs an adaptive economic model to ensure that the ecosystem continues to thrive:
Long-Term Incentives: Rewards are dynamically adjusted based on network activity and demand.
Ecosystem Growth Fund: Supports developer grants, marketing, and community-building efforts.
This tokenomics model ensures that Lightchain AI remains a sustainable, secure, and user-focused platform, aligning the incentives of all participants for mutual growth and success.
