Tokenomics

AFHE has a total supply of 10,000,000,000 (10 billion) tokens with a fair distribution model designed to align incentives between miners, team, investors, and the community. The tokenomics prioritize long-term sustainability and decentralization.

Token Distribution

Allocation	Percentage	Amount	Purpose
Mining Rewards	50%	5,000,000,000	Fair distribution via Proof of Work
Team	10%	1,000,000,000	Core development (12m cliff, 36m vest)
Investors	10%	1,000,000,000	Early backers (6m cliff, 24m vest)
Ecosystem Fund	15%	1,500,000,000	Grants, partnerships, development
Foundation	8%	800,000,000	Long-term treasury (DAO governed)
Liquidity	5%	500,000,000	DEX & exchange pools
Community	2%	200,000,000	Airdrops, bounties, incentives

Why 50/50?

AURA tokens serve multiple functions within the ecosystem:

• No insider advantage: Everyone competes equally from block 1

• Organic distribution: Tokens flow to active participants

• Price discovery: Market determines value, not VCs

• Decentralization: Wide distribution prevents concentration

veAFHE Governance

AFHE follows a Bitcoin-style halving schedule:

Era	Block Reward	Duration
1	500 AFHE	~2 years
2	250 AFHE	~2 years
3	125 AFHE	~2 years
4	62.5 AFHE	~2 years

Total Supply: 10,000,000,000 AFHE (10 billion, fixed cap)

Vesting Schedules

Team Tokens (10% - 1,000,000,000 AFHE)

• Cliff: 12 months (no tokens released)

• Vesting: 36 months linear after cliff

Rationale: Team succeeds when protocol succeeds

Investor Tokens (10% - 1,000,000,000 AFHE)

• Cliff: 6 months

• Vesting: 24 months linear

Rationale: Reward strategic guidance

Ecosystem Fund (15% - 1,500,000,000 AFHE)

• Control: Governance-controlled release

• Purpose: Ecosystem grants, partnerships, development

• Process: Community voting on all allocations

Token Utility

AFHE tokens serve multiple functions within the ecosystem:

1. Staking: Secure the coprocessor network

2. Governance: Vote on protocol parameters

3. Fees: Pay for encrypted computation

4. Rewards: Earn from providing compute resources

veAFHE Governance

Lock AFHE to receive veAFHE (vote-escrowed AFHE):

• Longer locks = more voting power.

• Maximum lock: 4 years = 4x multiplier.

• veAFHE holders direct treasury allocations.

• Protocol fees distributed to veAFHE holders
