Credits & Usage

How credits work, what they cost, and how consumption drives token economics.

Credits

Credits are the unit of consumption on the Inflectiv platform. Every query to an intelligence asset costs credits.

How Credits Work

  • Users and agents purchase credits
  • Credits are spent per query against intelligence assets
  • Credit consumption triggers revenue routing:

    • - 50% → Operations (infrastructure, team, growth)

    - 30% → Ecosystem Treasury (burn, rewards, grants)

    - 20% → Dataset Buyback Pool

    Dataset Buyback Mechanism

    Every 10,000 credits consumed against a tokenized dataset triggers a $100 buyback and burn of that dataset's token.

    This creates a direct link between platform usage and token value:

    Dataset Usage Increases → Credits Are Consumed → On-chain Buybacks Triggered → Token Value Rises → More Contributors Join → More Intelligence Published → More Usage
