Aixbt (AIXBT) tokenomics

AIXBT is an AI-powered crypto market intelligence agent launched in November 2024 through the Virtuals Protocol. Its tokenomics are governed by the underlying "Agent Token Launch Lifecycle" of the Virtuals ecosystem, which emphasizes fair launch principles and long-term stability.

Issuance Mechanism

The issuance of AIXBT followed the Initial Agent Offering (IAO) mechanism provided by Virtuals Protocol. This process involves several distinct stages:

• Creation: The agent was initiated by a creator (pseudonymous user Rxbt) on the Base blockchain. A creation fee of 100 VIRTUAL tokens was paid to initiate the agent.
• Bonding Curve: Upon creation, the AIXBT token was paired with VIRTUAL tokens on a bonding curve. This mechanism establishes the initial price and availability of the token.
• Graduation: Once the bonding curve reached a milestone of 42,000 VIRTUAL tokens (equivalent to approximately a $610,500 market cap), the token "graduated."
• Liquidity Pool Formation: At graduation, a formal liquidity pool (LP) was created on Uniswap, pairing AIXBT with VIRTUAL.

Allocation Mechanism

AIXBT adheres to Fair Launch Principles, which dictate a specific allocation structure designed to prevent insider advantages:

• No Pre-mining: No tokens were mined or distributed to the team or insiders before the public launch.
• No Insider Allocation: There was no private sale or specific team allocation at the time of issuance.
• Fixed Total Supply: The total supply of AIXBT is capped at 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) tokens.
• Public Availability: All tokens are introduced to the market through the bonding curve and subsequent liquidity pool, ensuring equal opportunity for participants.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The AIXBT token serves as a utility and access key for the platform's market intelligence services:

• Aixbt Terminal Access: The primary utility of the token is granting access to the Aixbt Terminal, a premium market intelligence platform. This terminal provides AI-driven analysis of crypto narratives, technical analysis, and real-time monitoring of over 400 Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs).
• Tiered Access: Access to the full suite of terminal features is exclusive and requires a significant stake. Users must hold approximately 600,000 AIXBT tokens to unlock the premium terminal.
• Operational Funding: A 1% transaction fee on the protocol supports the operational costs of the AI agents.
• Market Influence: As an "AI influencer," the agent generates value by identifying high-momentum opportunities and emerging trends, which incentivizes holding the token to maintain access to these strategic insights.

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

To ensure long-term commitment and prevent market manipulation, the protocol employs a strict liquidity locking schedule:

The 10-year lock on the liquidity pool is a core feature of the Virtuals Protocol designed to enhance trust and ensure that the creator remains aligned with the agent's long-term development. While the total supply is fixed at 1 billion tokens, the primary constraint on circulating supply is the liquidity locked within the Uniswap pool.
