9. Tokenomics Plan, Stake and Rewards: AxB token

⁠

⁠

8.1 Utility of Tokens

Platform Payments

Tokens are required to access and pay for platform services, including:

Renting compute from decentralized GPU marketplace

Renting and deploying models

Accessing the dataset pool

Paying for crowdsourcing labeler marketplace

Building and deploying automation workflows

Purchasing workflow templates

Subscribing to premium features of the platform

Incentive Currency

AxB tokens facilitate decentralized economic coordination between the following participants:

Labelers

Model developers

Validators

Open-source Contributors

Compute providers

⁠

8.2 Staking Model

Staking ensures alignment, commitment, and quality assurance across the roles. It also unlocks various earning and participating rights.

1. Open-source Contributors

Required to stake tokens to gain access to full source code and submit pull requests.

Upon consensus-based validation of their contributions, they:

Earn monthly token rewards

Qualify for long term sharing linked to usage/adoption.

A higher stake may increase the contributor’s share of rewards.

2. Validators (Code Reviewers / Model Approvers)

Must stake tokens to gain validator privileges.

The stake acts as a signal of commitment:

Larger stake grant more validation slots and greater reward shares

Malicious or low-quality validation results in slashing of staked tokens.

3. Labelers

Required to stake access high-quality, paid labeling jobs.

Benefits of high stakes:

Priority access to labeling jobs

Increased per-task reward rate

Repeated submission of low-quality data may lead to penalties or stake slashing.

4. Buyers / Platform Users

Stake tokens to unlock free access tiers (like prepayment deposits)

Staking also allows:

Receive discounts or rebates

Priority access during peak compute demand

8.3 Reward Mechanism

To foster long-term alignment and reward value contribution, AIxBlock implements multiple on-chain reward pathways:

Retroactive Rewards

Distributed to early builders, validators, and contributors, who added significant value.

Distributed via airdrops or claimable token incentives.

Validation Pool Emissions

Validators earn from a dynamic reward pool based on:

Number and quality of validations

Consensus participation and correctness

Revenue Sharing Pool

A portion of all token spent on the platform is redistributed to:

Token stakers

Open-source contributors

Validators

To reward the community for different missions (check

There are 3 reward programs:⁠

8.4 Tokenomics Plan

Total supply: 1B tokens

⁠

⁠

P/S:

Reserves are allocated for new investors.

Ecosystem Growth Funds are dedicated to marketing, incubation, initiatives, and community contributor salaries.

Payment Options and Token Buy-Back Mechanism

Fiat Payment Support: While AIxBlock is primarily token-centric, it also supports fiat payment options for customer convenience. When a customer chooses to pay in fiat, AIxBlock handles the backend conversion process — seamlessly converting fiat payments into platform tokens.

8.5 Stake and rewards

a) Stake programs:

Stake tokens to earn below rewards and benefits:

Users can un-stake and withdraw anytime after 1 month; if withdrawn within the 1-month period, a 5% penalty will be applied.

Earn retroactive tokens as community rewards.

Rules: minimum staking period: 1 mon.

Penalty 5% if withdraw before the period.

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:

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:

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

⁠

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)

8.7 Token Buyback and Burn

As part of AIxBlock’s commitment to sustainable growth, the project prioritizes reinvesting revenue into expanding the technical team, building new features, and enhancing product offerings. Once profitability is achieved, AIxBlock plans to allocate 25–50% of profits towards a token buyback and burn program. This initiative is designed to increase token value over time and demonstrate long-term alignment with the community and ecosystem.
