Tokenomics
Learn how the $GRANT token powers compute, coordination, and governance across the GrantChain ecosystem.
At the heart of GrantChain is $GRANT — a utility token designed to support AI execution, agent deployment, and community governance.
It is the fuel that powers the AI-native economy.

🔧 Token Utility
$GRANT isn’t just a governance token — it’s the operational backbone of the protocol:
1. AI Compute Payments
Used to pay for AI model execution (e.g., classify(), predict(), summarize())
2. Model/API Usage Fees
Smart contracts call AI models via APIs. Each call deducts $GRANT.
3. Agent Deployment & Upkeep
Deploying and running autonomous agents costs $GRANT to cover compute cycles and storage.
4. Governance Participation
Used to vote on proposals and upgrades — including agent standards, model onboarding, and treasury flows.
5. Staking for Priority Access
Stakers gain priority compute lanes, governance boosts, and access to exclusive zkML compute clusters.
In short, $GRANT is what enables the GrantChain economy to function — fairly, transparently, and autonomously.
