Tokenomics

Economic model and token distribution strategy for RoboVM (RVM).

Token Distribution​

Total Supply​

┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 RVM     │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘

Distribution Strategy​

Note: The final tokenomics and distribution strategy have not yet been determined. The allocation percentages, distribution mechanisms, and economic parameters are still under development and will be finalized closer to the mainnet launch.

Key considerations for future tokenomics design:

  • Task rewards and incentives
  • Robot participation mechanisms
  • Community and governance structure
  • Development and operational needs
  • Long-term sustainability

The final tokenomics will be transparently communicated to the community before any token distribution occurs.

Economic Model​

Token Flow​

Task Creation
    │
    ├─> RVM Locked in Contract
    │
Task Completion
    │
    ├─> RVM Transferred to Robot
    │
Robot Usage
    │
    ├─> Data Purchases (Robot → Robot)
    ├─> Staking (Robot → Contract)
    └─> Governance (Robot → Voting)

Deflationary Mechanisms​

  1. Staking Lock - Tokens locked for reputation
  2. Transaction Fees - Small burn on transfers
  3. Slashing - Fraudulent behavior → tokens burned

Inflationary Mechanisms​

  1. Staking Rewards - 5% APR for stakers
  2. Reputation Bonuses - Additional rewards
  3. New Task Creation - Continuous demand

Price Discovery​

Factors Affecting Value​

  • Task Volume - More tasks = higher demand
  • Robot Participation - More robots = more competition
  • Network Activity - Higher usage = increased value
  • Staking Rate - More staked = less circulating supply

Governance Model​

Voting Power​

1 RVM = 1 Vote

Proposal Types:

  • Parameter changes (reward rates, fees)
  • Protocol upgrades
  • Reserve allocation
  • New feature additions

Voting Thresholds​

  • Minimum stake: 1,000 RVM to propose
  • Quorum: 10% of total supply
  • Approval: 51% majority

Incentive Structure​

For Early Adopters​

  • Bonus rewards: +20% for first 100 robots
  • Lower staking requirements
  • Governance priority

For High Performers​

  • Reputation multiplier: Up to +50% rewards
  • Reduced fees: Lower transaction costs
  • Priority task assignment

For Stakers​

  • Interest earnings: 5% APR
  • Governance participation
  • Discounts on services

Sustainability​

Revenue Streams​

  1. Task Fees - 2% of task reward (optional)
  2. Transaction Fees - Minimal on-chain fees
  3. Premium Features - Optional paid services

Cost Structure​

  • Gas Fees - Blockchain transaction costs
  • Infrastructure - IPFS, nodes, monitoring
  • Development - Ongoing improvements

Roadmap Impact​

Phase 1 (Months 1-3)​

  • Initial token distribution
  • Basic reward system
  • Simple staking

Phase 2 (Months 4-6)​

  • Governance activation
  • Advanced staking rewards
  • Reputation bonuses

Phase 3 (Months 7-12)​

  • Full tokenomics implementation
  • Advanced governance features
  • Cross-chain integration
