$GAIB Token

1 Token Utility

The GAIB token powers governance, network security, and capital coordination across the GAIB ecosystem. It aligns validators, users, and partners through integrated utility mechanisms.

• Governance and Participation: Users can lock GAIB into ve-tokens (vote-escrowed tokens) to gain governance rights and voting power. Votes can be cast on critical decisions such as approving new real-world asset classes (e.g., GPUs, robotics, energy), deciding on new chain deployments, and adjusting protocol fee structures.

• Network Security & Validation: GAIB token forms the economic security backbone of the GAIB Active Validator Se (AVS) through staking and restaking. Staked tokens back the GAIB Validator/ Orchestration Network, securing cross-chain transactions and asset attestations (proof-of-location, proof-of-custody, proof-of-workload). Misconduct triggers automatic slashing, maintaining cryptoeconomic integrity.

• Ecosystem Access: Stakers gain priority access and allocations in tokenized GPU tranches, robotics vaults, and AID/sAID. Active participants and veGAIB voters may receive community and ecosystem rewards.

• Economic Incentives/Rewards: A portion of protocol fees funds validator rewards, treasury reserves, and ecosystem incentives. GAIB will be distributed to encourage users to exert efforts towards contribution and participation in the ecosystem on GAIB, thereby creating a mutually beneficial system where active participants are fairly compensated for their efforts. GAIB is an integral and indispensable part of GAIB, because without GAIB, there would be no incentive for users to expend resources to participate in activities or provide services for the benefit of the ecosystem. Given that additional GAIB will be awarded to a user based only on its actual usage, activity and efforts made on GAIB and/or proportionate to the frequency and volume of transactions, users of GAIB and/or holders of GAIB which did not actively participate will not receive any GAIB incentives.

2 Governance Framework

GAIB governance operates through a hybrid on-chain model combining efficiency and decentralization:

• Governance Token: veGAIB, created by locking GAIB for fixed durations, determines voting weight and proposal rights.

• Proposal Process: Any veGAIB holder can submit proposals; execution follows quorum and supermajority rules encoded in governance smart contracts.

• Treasury Oversight: Major protocol expenditures, parameter updates, or cross-chain integrations require governance approval, ensuring collective accountability.

• Adaptive Upgradeability: Core smart contracts use a time-locked upgrade framework to balance security and responsiveness.

This governance structure enables transparent, decentralized coordination across technical development, ecosystem partnerships, and protocol economics.

3 Token Allocation & Unlock Schedule

The total supply of GAIB is capped at 1,000,000,000 tokens. Distribution is structured to promote balanced participation between contributors, validators, and community members, ensuring sustainable expansion of GAIB’s Economic Layer ecosystem. The vesting structure is designed to encourage long-term commitment while maintaining controlled circulation during the protocol’s early growth phase.

4 GAIB Economic Layer Design

The GAIB Economic Layer Design is designed to directly link token utility value with real network activity and AI infrastructure productivity:

• Protocol Revenue and Economic Incentives: Fees from tokenization, data validation, cross-chain validation, and AI infrastructure vaults are converted into GAIB regularly to ensure healthy reserves for ecosystem activities and expansion. This creates a mutually beneficial system where active participants are fairly compensated for their efforts, and aligns actual network usage with reward/ value earned. As network adoption scales, more GAIB is utilized or locked within validator, governance, and liquidity activities, deepening alignment between ecosystem expansion and token utility value.

• Sustainable and Non-Inflationary Design: With a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens, GAIB transitions from early emission-based incentives to a sustainable model where validator and community rewards are funded by genuine network activity rather than inflationary issuance. Initial emissions bootstrap participation, after which rewards become tied to verifiable AI infrastructure performance and corresponding output. This ensures that GAIB’s long-term utility value is supported by productive output and ecosystem growth from active participants, rather than speculative inflation.
