Tokenization & Economics
Token Flywheel
How dataset usage drives compounding value through the $INAI token economy.
The Token Economy Flywheel
Every query drives credit consumption. Credits trigger buybacks. Rising token value attracts contributors. More intelligence drives more queries. The loop compounds with every transaction.

Deflationary Mechanics
$INAI is deflationary by use:
- Every 10,000 credits consumed against a tokenized dataset → $100 buyback and burn
- Buybacks are on-chain and public
- Burns reduce circulating supply
- Every query compounds the deflationary pressure
Decoupling
SaaS and token layers are strictly decoupled:
- Platform revenue is not dependent on token performance
- Token failure cannot break the platform
- Credits remain the unit of consumption regardless of token price
