6️⃣Token Economy Model

SoulNet adopts SOUL, a native utility token, as the core value carrier of its platform ecosystem. Centered around the philosophy of "Training is Consensus, Character is Asset", SoulNet builds a token economic system that is highly liquid, fairly incentivized, and capable of supporting ecological autonomy.

6.1 Token Basics

Token Name: SOUL

Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 SOUL

Core Functions:

·Consensus incentives (rewards for AI character training/mining)

·Node staking (entry threshold for participating in training tasks)

·Payment for AI character invocation and services

·Medium for data and model trading

·Governance voting and proposal mechanism

6.2 Token Allocation

Category	Allocation	Description
Community Incentives	35%	Rewards for nodes contributing to training, data sharing, and character usage.
Developer Ecosystem	20%	Incentives for AI developers, tool builders, and content creators.
Foundation Reserve	15%	Reserved for long-term operations, ecosystem expansion, and strategic partnerships.
Investors	20%	Allocated across private and public funding rounds, with lock-up and vesting schedules.
Team & Advisors	10%	Allocated to early contributors and core advisors, vested linearly over 12–36 months.

6.3 Token Use Cases

Train-to-Earn Reward Mechanism All nodes participating in AI character training will be rewarded with SOUL tokens based on contribution metrics (e.g., training effectiveness, loss function performance), establishing a fair "Training-as-Mining" mechanism.

Pay-to-Invoke AI Services Users or third-party developers must pay SOUL tokens to invoke AI characters (e.g., NPCs, smart assistants, digital humans). The platform charges service fees based on invocation volume.

Data & Model Marketplace SoulNet integrates a native marketplace for data and AI models. Training datasets, pre-trained models, and modular AI components can be listed and traded in SOUL, with a transaction fee taken by the platform.

Node Staking & Task Bidding Nodes must stake a certain amount of SOUL to access training tasks, ensuring quality assurance. For high-value training tasks, a competitive bidding system may be introduced with service or slashing fees applied.

Governance & Proposal Mechanism SOUL holders can initiate and vote on governance proposals, including parameter adjustments, module deployments, and ecosystem partnerships—realizing true decentralized governance of the platform.

6.4 Value Loop Design

The SoulNet token economy is not merely an incentive mechanism, but a complete value loop built around the full lifecycle of AI characters—training, invocation, verification, and trading. SOUL aligns the incentives of all stakeholders and powers long-term platform growth and network effects:

·Incentivizing developers to build high-quality AI character models

·Motivating nodes to participate in character training tasks

·Encouraging data providers to share valuable datasets

·Empowering users to validate character value through real-world usage

·Establishing community-wide consensus and long-term collaboration via governance

Ultimately, the SOUL token will become the core asset of the most soulful agent network in Web3, connecting developers, users, miners, content creators, and governors—paving the way for co-creation and symbiosis between humans and AI characters.
