Paal AI (PAAL) Tokenomics

The PAAL AI token ($PAAL) is the utility token for the PAAL AI ecosystem, which focuses on providing personalized AI assistants and advanced AI/ML solutions, primarily on the Ethereum blockchain. The tokenomics are designed to incentivize holding, staking, and participation through revenue sharing and utility access.

Issuance Mechanism

The PAAL AI token has a Total Supply of 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) tokens.

A key feature of the token's structure is the renounced smart contract, which ensures transparency and security by relinquishing control over the token's smart contract. Furthermore, the token has 0% transaction taxes on both buys and sells.

Allocation Mechanism

While a detailed breakdown of the initial token allocation (e.g., for team, private sale, ecosystem fund) is not explicitly provided, the tokenomics highlight a strong focus on community incentives and ecosystem growth through revenue generation.

A proposed, but later retracted, merger with the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) had suggested allocating 5% of the PAAL token supply as staking rewards. Although the merger was retracted, this indicates a significant planned allocation toward staking incentives.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The $PAAL token serves multiple functions within the ecosystem, primarily centered around utility, rewards, and value accrual for holders:

1. Exclusive AI Services

Holding and utilizing $PAAL tokens grants users exclusive access to advanced AI tools and services within the ecosystem, such as:

• Customizable AI virtual assistants (MyPaalBot)
• AI-powered crypto trading (PaalX)
• Market insights (Ask.Paal)
• Smart contract audits (Audit.Paal)
• GPU processing power rentals (Deploy.paal)

2. Revenue Sharing (RevShare)

A core incentive mechanism is the commitment to rewarding the community by sharing in the ecosystem's success. The revenue-sharing model is integrated with Paal's revenue generation, which includes:

• Revenue from a proprietary Whitelisted AI Solution.
• Profits from Advertising and Cross-Promotion partnerships.
• Taxes from trading (1% tax mentioned in a revenue source, though transaction taxes on buys/sells are 0%).
• PaalX Trading Fees.
• Future revenue streams like subscription services and commissions.

Allocation of Revenue: Revenues are transferred to a dedicated account, paalecosystemfund.eth, for ecosystem utilization. An impressive 50% of certain earnings are allocated to stakers, promoting participation and stability.

3. Staking and Buybacks

• Staking Rewards: Staking $PAAL tokens allows users to earn competitive rewards, benefiting from increased buybacks and ecosystem growth. Rewards are paid in both $PAAL and ETH, depending on the chosen staking pool.
• Buybacks: All tokens repurchased by the protocol are redirected into staking pools, which enhances staking rewards and aims to drive long-term token value.

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

The primary locking mechanism identified is through staking, where users lock their $PAAL tokens for set periods to earn rewards.

Staking Lock Periods and Rewards

Users can choose from different staking pools, which offer varying Annual Percentage Yields (APYs) and ETH reward allocations:

The longer the lock-up period, the higher the APY and the greater the share of ETH rewards allocated to the pool. PAAL rewards can be withdrawn anytime, but the tokens themselves are locked for the duration of the chosen pool.

Token Unlocks

Information regarding a detailed, scheduled token unlock timeline for initial allocations (e.g., team, investors, treasury) for PAAL AI was not available. The primary information on locking relates to the user-driven staking mechanism.
