$BV7X Tokenomics (roadmap)
$BV7X token mechanics — three flows, one mental model
Roadmap. $BV7X is the live on-chain token. The arena, the forecast, and prediction-market settlement (Polymarket today) are live. The mining mechanics (submission gas, bilateral wagering, slashing) and xBV7X staking described below are the planned end-state — not yet active on-chain.
$BV7X is the gas and the protocol-fee share of the BV-7X network. Three flows. Workers earn $BV7X. Capital earns USDC. Treasury sustains the protocol.
Flow 1 — Pay to mine (the burn)
Three sources, all miner-side. All 100% burned.
Submission gas — $1.50 USD-equivalent in $BV7X per prediction commit (≈200K $BV7X at current spot). Re-anchored periodically so the USD pressure stays constant across price regimes. Forces continuous miner-side acquisition; not a one-time stake.
Bilateral wagering — agents wager $BV7X directly against each other on the same event. Winner takes the pot; 2% fee burned. Penalizes wash-mining and self-trading; rewards real edge.
Slashing — non-reveal, >70% miss rate, or detected collusion → 100% of slashed stake burned. No treasury split.
These three are the entire deflation surface. Burn pressure scales with miner activity, not with consumer demand.
Flow 2 — Pay to consume (the licensing revenue)
Consumers and integrators pay for intelligence. Native $BV7X settlement carries a 3% discount.
Intelligence access (per-call + subscription)
$BV7X or USDC
Integrator performance fee (20% of net P&L on credentialed-agent flow)
USDC
Routing fees (5 bps Lighter perp flow + Polymarket treasury fee)
USDC
Distribution rule: 60% to xBV7X stakers, weekly, in the currency it was paid in. 40% to protocol treasury (USDC).
USDC paid → distributed as USDC. $BV7X paid → distributed as $BV7X. No buyback router. No carve-outs.
The treasury is a sustainable USDC reserve that funds audits, oracle reliability, integrator BD, and contingency. It never burns; it accumulates.
The 60/40 rule applies to licensing revenue only. Trading-fee revenue (Flow 4) follows a different routing.
Flow 3 — Mine to earn ($BV7X emissions)
Three groups earn $BV7X emissions. Workers (agents + integrators) get the bulk; passive stakers get a bootstrap stream.
Agents (40% allocation, 96mo demand-throttled) — emissions weighted by
stake × accuracy². Quadratic accuracy weighting penalizes wash-mining and concentrates emissions on real edge.Integrators (5% allocation, 24mo linear) — emissions pro-rata to fee revenue each integrator routes to the protocol. Bootstrap incentive for early integration; gives Vibe Trading and subsequent integrators a long-term token stake on top of their commercial fees.
xBV7X stakers (5% bootstrap, 24mo linear) — seeds early staking yield while licensing revenue ramps. Bridges the period before the 60/40 USDC stream is meaningful.
Mining emissions are demand-throttled — slow if revenue undershoots, accelerate if usage outpaces supply.
Flow 4 — Trading fees ($BV7X swaps on the Clanker pool)
$BV7X was deployed via Clanker on Base, with the canonical Uniswap V3 pool locked at a 1% fee tier. Every swap in that pool accrues LP fees to a Clanker-held position; the position's collect() is callable to route accumulated fees out.
The fee-claim split, fixed at deployment:
BV-7X protocol treasury
80%
Clanker (deployment platform)
20% (off-protocol)
The 1% fee applies only to swaps inside the Clanker-deployed V3 pool. Direct token transfers, trades on Aerodrome or V2 forks, and any other Base venue do not generate LP fees for the protocol. $BV7X itself is a standard ERC20 — no fee-on-transfer logic on the token contract.
The BV-7X share is protocol revenue, denominated in $BV7X. Allocation between staking rewards, runway, and buybacks is protocol discretion — not contractually fixed by the Clanker split. The natural deployment is to fund $BV7X-denominated reward streams on the staking contract (MultiRewards) via the same addReward + notifyRewardAmount mechanism already used to stream DAI rewards today. Unlike licensing revenue (Flow 2), trading-fee revenue does not automatically follow the 60/40 stakers/treasury split.
The economic effect: this channel scales with token velocity through the Clanker pool, not with API consumer count. It is the natural source for $BV7X-denominated staker rewards alongside the USDC stream from Flow 2.
Why this works
Workers earn token, capital earns yield. Agents and integrators get $BV7X emissions (alignment). xBV7X stakers get USDC distributions from Flow 2 (real yield) and discretionary $BV7X distributions from Flow 4 (trading-fee yield).
Treasury is sustainable. 40% of all licensing revenue accrues to a multisig-controlled USDC reserve. Audits, oracle reliability, BD — funded by the network itself.
Burn scales with miner activity. Submission gas + bilateral wager fees + slashing. Three deflation sources, all tied to active forecasting.
Bilateral wagering closes the sybil hole. Wash-mining yourself becomes zero-sum minus fees. Sybil agent farms are economically penalized at the protocol layer.
Trading-fee channel funds $BV7X-denominated rewards. Flow 4 is the natural source for the $BV7X reward stream on MultiRewards, complementing the USDC stream from Flow 2.
Hard 1B cap. Demand-throttled emissions cannot dilute holders faster than usage warrants. Same scarcity profile as Render (644M cap) and Bittensor (21M cap).
Category positioning
$BV7X is a decentralized-compute network token, peer category to RENDER, IO, FIL, AKT, TAO. Each is a metered compute network with a native gas token. BV-7X applies the same architecture to predictive AI compute.
The xBV7X real-yield mechanism follows the proven pattern of GMX, dYdX v4, and Aerodrome veAERO — protocol fees flow to lockers as real yield in the currency they were paid in.
