/ tokenomics — UX blueprint
The token must be visible. Never intrusive.
Every surface where the token appears reinforces the same loop: usage → value → scarcity → alignment.
4.1 — Where the token appears
Five surfaces. No others.
surface
Staking
Tier ladder. Lockup density.
surface
Agent Fees
Per-execution micro-charges.
surface
Governance
Weighted voting.
surface
Burn Counter
Real-time supply decay.
surface
Dev Rewards
Developer earnings.
4.2 — Every fee shows its breakdown
No hidden flows. Burn % and treasury split rendered inline.

The user feels a loop, not a market.

Not speculation. A utility loop.
