DMI token

Product design, not investment or legal advice.

What pays what

Work pays in dollars. A sponsor puts USDC on a challenge, and the people whose work moved their number get USDC. Nobody has to hold the token to get paid.

The token is separate. Ten percent of every sponsored dollar buys it on the market and burns it, so revenue removes supply. That burn is the only thing connecting the two.

Supply and allocation

Fixed supply 1,000,000,000. No mint authority after launch. The launchpad sells on a bonding curve that graduates to a market at a published threshold. Every allocation wallet is published with its lock before the curve opens.

The treasury and burns

The treasury holds 25 percent. It funds the network and it buys the token on the market and burns what it buys. A burn is published when it happens: the amount, the transaction and the supply after it.

The DMI Contributors share

Ten percent is set aside for people who contribute to the network. It is not paid on a schedule and there is no formula. It is held, and it is granted when there is someone to grant it to.

No snapshot, no claim window, no eligibility list, no date to farm. Nobody has to be present on a particular day, and there is nothing to leave unclaimed.

Transfer fee

Every transfer pays 3 percent to holders, with no claim step. Holders receive it in the token the pair trades against, so that choice decides what holding pays in. The team's locked tokens count as held.

The pair is not chosen yet. It will be published before launch.

Points

Points are the public record of what the network has done and who did it. They are earned by the rules at trydmi.com/rules, computed when the work is scored, and they sit on a leaderboard anyone can read.

Points are not the token and do not convert to it on a schedule.

Sanctions

Sanctions apply. Anyone in a sanctioned jurisdiction, or on a sanctions list, is excluded. That covers North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk.

Nothing else is restricted. Points count everywhere, and sponsored work pays in USDC everywhere.

What the token is not

The token has no intrinsic value and carries no claim on DMI, its revenue, its assets or its work. Holding it buys no equity, no share of profit, no vote and no right to anything.

A listing does not make a market. There is no promise that anyone will trade it, that it will hold any price, or that anything further gets built. Nothing on this page is a recommendation to buy it, and none of it is financial, investment, tax or legal advice.

Anyone who buys it can lose everything they put in.

Guards

  • Fixed supply. No mint authority after launch.
  • Team: 12-month cliff. Nothing unlocks in year one.
  • Every allocation wallet published with its lock transaction before the curve opens.
  • Burn tied to revenue rather than to a schedule.
