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.
