$AXI Token
The $AXI token is the lifeblood of the Axicov ecosystem. It powers transactions, staking, governance, identity, and incentivization across the agent economy.
Unlike traditional SaaS models, where value flows only to the platform, Axicov ensures that value circulates back to the community of developers, stakers, and curators.
Token Utilities
The $AXI token serves multiple functions within the ecosystem:
Agent Monetization
Users pay $AXI to access premium agents and workflows.
Payments are split between creators, stakers, and the protocol treasury.
Execution Fees
Multi-agent workflows trigger small $AXI fees.
These fees are redistributed to the workflow’s agents and to the treasury.
Agent Staking & Reputation
Anyone can stake $AXI on an agent to boost its visibility.
Stakers share in revenue, aligning incentives and building trust.
Namespace Service (ANS)
$AXI is required to register and renew .axi names.
Names establish ownership, provenance, and agent identity.
Governance
Token holders propose and vote on:
Fee structures
Treasury allocations
Protocol upgrades
Discovery algorithms
Access to Advanced Features
Premium analytics, orchestration tools, and workflow insights are unlocked with $AXI.
Revenue Distribution
When an agent is used, Axicov redistributes revenue to ensure fair incentives:
50% → Agent Creator
30% → Agent Stakers (pro-rata)
20% → Protocol Treasury
This creates a flywheel effect:
More agents deployed → more staking → more usage → more revenue → stronger treasury → ecosystem growth.
Incentives
To bootstrap growth and reward early adopters, Axicov includes additional incentive mechanisms:
Staking Pools: Early stakers earn bonus rewards for backing agents in the first 12 months.
Curator Revenue Sharing: Curators of popular bundles earn $AXI fees whenever their curated workflows are used.
Learn-to-Earn: Users who explore agents, complete workflows, or contribute to the ecosystem earn token rewards.
Token Flow
Sources of Demand:
Users pay in $AXI to access agents, workflows, and namespaces.
Developers stake $AXI to boost visibility of their agents.
Curators and communities stake $AXI to back trusted packs.
Value Capture & Distribution:
Revenue circulates between creators, stakers, curators, and the treasury.
Treasury funds are reinvested into ecosystem grants, hackathons, and liquidity incentives.
Result: A self-sustaining loop where demand for agents = demand for $AXI.
Long-Term Vision
While Axicov currently operates on EduChain (Arbitrum L3), the $AXI token will evolve into the native currency of AXI Chain:
$AXI as Gas: Powering transactions and agent executions.
$AXI Staking: Securing the chain and rewarding validators.
Custom Runtime: Optimized for parallel agent workflows and verifiable execution.
This future evolution ensures that $AXI is not just a utility token, but the economic backbone of a sovereign chain for the agent economy.
