Understanding Oditi Token Economics

The ODITI token is the lifeblood of our decentralized computing network. It creates a self-sustaining ecosystem where participants are fairly compensated for their contributions while users benefit from affordable, decentralized computing resources.

Token Fundamentals

What is the ODITI Token?

The ODITI token is an ERC-20 token deployed on the Polygon blockchain, designed to:

  • Facilitate payments for computing resources
  • Reward providers who contribute infrastructure
  • Enable governance through DAO voting rights
  • Create incentives for network growth and stability

Why Polygon?

We chose Polygon for several key reasons:

  1. Low transaction fees - Essential for microtransactions
  2. Fast confirmations - Quick resource allocation
  3. Ethereum compatibility - Access to the broader ecosystem
  4. Proven scalability - Handles high transaction volumes

Token Utility

For Resource Providers

When you contribute computing resources to the network:

  • Earn tokens proportional to resources provided
  • Receive bonus rewards for maintaining high uptime
  • Participate in network governance decisions
  • Build reputation that increases earnings potential

For Users

Access decentralized computing services:

  • Pay with tokens for CPU, storage, and bandwidth
  • Enjoy transparent, market-driven pricing
  • Benefit from no vendor lock-in
  • Maintain control over your data

For the Ecosystem

Token mechanics ensure network health:

  • Staking requirements encourage quality providers
  • Slashing mechanisms penalize bad actors
  • Liquidity mining bootstraps early adoption
  • Buyback programs support token value

Economic Design

Supply & Distribution

Total Supply: Fixed at launch Distribution:

  • 40% Network rewards
  • 25% Team & development (vested)
  • 20% Community treasury
  • 10% Early supporters
  • 5% Liquidity provision

Deflationary Mechanisms

To ensure long-term value:

  1. Transaction burns - Small % of each transaction
  2. Governance buybacks - Using network revenues
  3. Staking lockups - Reduce circulating supply

  1. Trade on Uniswap - Primary liquidity pool
  2. Earn through providing - Contribute resources
  3. Participate in programs - Community initiatives
  4. Receive airdrops - For active participants

Using Your Tokens

  • Stake to secure the network and earn rewards
  • Spend on decentralized computing services
  • Vote on governance proposals
