# Tokenomics Overview

Rogue AI is a revenue generating protocol on Solana with a hard capped supply, no team lockups, and a three phase economic model that rewards early participants while systematically reducing circulating supply over time.

Revenue flows in, gets allocated by rule, and exits to stakers, node operators, liquidity, and buybacks on a pre-defined schedule. No discretion. No surprises.

### Token Basics

| Detail           | Value                                                  |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Ticker**       | $RAI                                                   |
| **Total Supply** | 1,000,000,000 (fixed)                                  |
| **Blockchain**   | Solana                                                 |
| **Contract**     | BCQjsvdsoqaSKo8iwgmfnzMV5S2rC7XR3i2K7Ep8BAGS           |
| **Launch**       | 100% at market with no team lockups, no VC allocations |

Inflation is effectively zero. A micro-emission engine can activate in low-revenue conditions, hard-capped at 0.5% per year.

### Three Phase Economic Model

| Phase                               | Priority          | Buybacks | Exit Condition                    |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------- | -------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Phase 1:** Liquidity Foundation   | Build POL         | 0%       | ≥ 50% supply circulating          |
| **Phase 2:** Growth & Participation | Deflation begins  | 17%      | —                                 |
| **Phase 3:** Deflationary Maturity  | Maximum deflation | 33%      | ≥ 30% supply circulating to enter |

### Revenue Allocation by Phase

| Category        | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 |
| --------------- | ------- | ------- | ------- |
| Team            | 30%     | 25%     | 20%     |
| Treasury        | 20%     | 15%     | 10%     |
| POL             | 25%     | 15%     | 10%     |
| Node Rewards    | 10%     | 8%      | 7%      |
| Staking Rewards | 10%     | 20%     | 20%     |
| Airdrop         | 5%      | —       | —       |
| Buyback & Lock  | 0%      | 17%     | 33%     |

### Capital Weighted Hierarchy

> **Treasury → Node Rewards → Staking Rewards**

Nodes require capital and infrastructure commitment they earn premium yield above stakers by design, not by accident.

***

### Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL)

POL is owned by the protocol, not rented from LPs. It enables safe buybacks, low slippage, and price stability. It also generates trading fee revenue that reinforces the flywheel.

**Cap: $30,000,000.** Overflow routes 50% to Buyback & Lock, 50% to Treasury Reserve.

***

### Buyback & Lock Engine

The protocol buys tokens from the open market and locks them permanently.

**Safety brakes prevent over-deflation:**

* Buybacks capped at 3% of circulating supply per month
* Supply < 40% → buybacks reduced 25%; < 25% → reduced 50%; < 15% → paused entirely
* Phase 3 cannot activate unless circulating supply ≥ 30%

### Reward Floors

|             | Monthly Floor | Annual Floor |
| ----------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| **Nodes**   | 0.8%          | \~9.6%       |
| **Staking** | 0.5%          | \~6.0%       |

Floors are revenue-backed. If revenue falls short, micro-emissions cover the gap — capped at 0.05% monthly. If hard caps are hit, floors float with revenue until recovery.

***

### Treasury Cap

Treasury cannot exceed 10% of total supply (100,000,000 tokens). Overflow redistributes: 50% to Buyback & Lock, 30% to POL, 20% to Treasury Stable Reserve.

### Token Utility

**Now:** Staking yield, node operation, reduced fees, priority execution, advanced analytics.

**Expanding:** AI model credits, enterprise API access, cross-chain execution, governance voting, strategy packs.

Utility grows as supply contracts.
