Ecosystem Flow
Ecosystem Flow: Value, Incentives, and Miner Sustainability
The goal is to build a sustainable ecosystem where value is created not just through token speculation, but through staking and real contributions to the network — such as building applications, running infrastructure, or generating useful traffic and inference tasks.
🔹 Agent Store & Product Usage
All apps and products in the ecosystem will ultimately rely on inference, creating demand for compute across the network.
Serious applications with real usage will contribute fees, either directly or via usage-based caps.
Smaller or experimental apps act as free marketing and public showcases — they might not pay initially but drive adoption, awareness, and ecosystem activity.
🔹 Feeding Miners & Balancing Incentives
At least 35% of the token supply is reserved for miners to bootstrap early network activity.
As real usage grows and more COR is staked, token value should stabilize or increase, allowing the protocol to gradually reduce miner emissions.
Miners are sustained not just by emissions, but increasingly through organic, paid task volume from apps and users.
Users and developers who stake COR and build on the network actively contribute to this virtuous cycle — not by passively holding tokens, but by enabling real value creation.
🔹 Long-Term Vision
The ecosystem starts with incentivized tasks and evolves toward user-funded, application-driven inference workloads.
Over time, early-stage incentives give way to a self-sustaining loop where high-quality apps bring traffic, traffic generates revenue, and miners are rewarded for real, useful work.
This structure aligns incentives across all participants — builders, miners, and token holders — creating a durable flywheel that rewards genuine utility and growth.
