Token Economics

$MEMZI Token

The $MEMZI token aligns incentives across the protocol's three constituencies: users who generate memories, developers who build integrations, and node operators who provide decentralized infrastructure.

Token Utility

Storage Staking

Users stake $MEMZI to reserve persistent Arweave storage quotas. Staked tokens are not consumed — they represent capacity commitments redeemable upon unstake.

Access & Governance

Token-gated access to premium retrieval features (multi-modal memory, real-time collaborative subspaces) and protocol governance proposals.

Memory Marketplace

Opt-in marketplace where anonymized, ZK-verified memory subsets can be shared or sold. Creators receive $MEMZI; buyers pay $MEMZI. Protocol takes a 2.5% fee directed to the DAO treasury.

Deflationary Mechanics

50% of protocol fees are burned; 50% go to the DAO treasury. Fixed supply of 1B tokens ensures long-term scarcity as protocol usage grows.

Token Distribution

Community & Ecosystem

Developer grants, early adopter rewards, memory marketplace incentives.

Governance & DAO

Proposal Authority

Any address holding ≥10,000 $MEMZI (0.001% of supply) can submit governance proposals. Proposals require a 72-hour discussion period followed by a 5-day voting window.

Voting Power

Quadratic voting weighted by both token holdings and protocol usage (memory volume, SDK integrations). This ensures active participants have outsized voice relative to passive speculators.

Governance Scope

Protocol fee parameters, marketplace policies, treasury allocation, schema specification upgrades, and privacy policy changes. Core encryption and ownership primitives are immutable by design — no governance action can weaken user sovereignty.
