One coin, four jobs.
Gas, inference fees, mining rewards and ownership.
Tokenomics
The whole supply is created in one deploy on Ethereum. Nothing is minted after it, on either home, ever.

What $AIOS is for
Four roles, never forced elsewhere. Value accrues to usage, not to a price target.
Gas
Every transaction on the AIOS L1 pays its gas in $AIOS, to the work-gated producers that order the block.
Verified Inference
A model call is priced in $AIOS by the model owner, escrowed by the caller, and paid only when the committee agrees.
Mining Reward
Miners on the matching hash earn the fee share plus a decaying bootstrap from the mining pool. Producers earn a work-gated block reward.
Ownership
The asset itself, your registered models and corpora, and the royalties they earn on every call. Never a ballot.
Where a fee goes
An illustrative split, re-pegged against measured recomputation cost before launch. The rule that never moves: the shares sum to the whole fee, with no gap.
About 75% to the committee
The Miners on the matching hash share it. It must cover honest recomputation cost, or the security budget collapses.
About 15% to the model creator
The owner of the registered model is paid on every canonical match of a call to it.
About 10% to the protocol
Mostly burned, the rest funds the ordering fee share and the honeypot and insurance pool. Burns only shrink supply.
Royalties are additive
A grounded call adds a data-royalty for the corpus owner, an adapter call adds an adapter-royalty. Never carved from the Miner slice, never a mint.
Two homes, one supply
The ERC-20 on Ethereum is permanent. It locks to mint native $AIOS on the L1, the sole mint authority, and the total is checked every block.
Conserved Every Block
eth_circulating + native_circulating + cumulative_burned = 300,000,000.
A One-Way Tax Ratchet
A flat 1% on the ERC-20, an immutable ceiling. It can only step down. LP, router, bridge and staking paths are exempt.
What holding $AIOS means
A fixed pool
Lock $AIOS and earn from a fixed 30,000,000 pool at a floating rate, emitted over a bounded window. A 7-day cooldown to withdraw. It secures nothing: no consensus role, never slashed, never paused.
- Team
- 20,000,000 · 12-month cliff, then 36 months linear
- Mining pool
- 100,000,000 · released only against verified work, on a fee-conditioned decay
- Liquidity
- 150,000,000 · self-funded, no treasury
- Governance
- No token voting and no DAO. Upgrades are adopted by the Producers who run the chain.
- Custody
- None. AIOS never holds user funds or keys.
- Honest limit
- The token trades before native mainnet fee revenue exists. A working mechanism is not proof of demand.
Proof first, then the coin
The testnet stands as evidence before the token exists. Put hardware on the committees that will earn it, or read exactly how it is issued.
