Ongoing Token Distribution

Following the TGE, 0.15% of the difference between maxSupply and totalSupply will be distributed daily to the ecosystem. Distribution will be based on the same points-based system, rewarding continued uptime and network support. This approach allows for over ten years of predictable distribution while maintaining the token’s perceived value.

Daily Distribution over Time

Ongoing tokenomics will be distributed into the following segments.

Token Distribution

Rather than have the “Node Rewards” segment distributed directly to Node Operators, the Node Rewards segment will be pooled and used to supplement actual usage payments. Essentially, when an OSMI customer purchases services with their $OSMI token, that token is burned and the same quantity is minted from an undistributed “Node Reward Pool” to the provider of the service. This will allow 100% burn from all in-ecosystem spend while still allowing the providers of the service to be awarded.

Given that the cost of maintaining an OSMI node can be a substantial expense compared to the standard VPS, it does not make sense to pay for everyone for just uptime. Rather, node owners providing GPU compute power will be rewarded an additional “tokens for tokens” (AI token generation during inference tasks will be combined with their daily rewards).
