6. The $MAI Token

6.1 Design Philosophy

$MAI is the core token of the protocol. It is earned by using the platform and plays a central role in how rewards are distributed and how the system will eventually be governed. It is not sold through a private sale or pre-mine. Instead, it is allocated to those who participate—by playing, staking, providing liquidity, or contributing to the ecosystem.

6.2 Token Utility

  • Claim rewards through the Vault

  • Participate in governance (planned)

  • Receive a share of protocol fees

  • Vote on parameters and market additions (future)

6.3 Distribution

$MAI will be distributed entirely through protocol activity. There are no VC allocations, pre-sales, or centralized control over supply. Distribution will occur through:

  • Rewards for gameplay and prediction markets

  • Staking-based emissions

  • Liquidity incentives

  • Grants and community programs

Emissions are structured around usage, with fixed caps and periodic reviews to ensure long-term sustainability.
