369,000,000 DRIVE, fixed: paid for proofs, not promises
| Allocation | Share | DRIVE |
|---|---|---|
| Proof-of-utility mining: verified storage, compute and retrieval by nodes | 69.30% | 255,717,000 |
| Knowledge mining: admitted, rights-cleared knowledge | 3.69% | 13,616,100 |
| Community activity, DAO treasury, early contributors and the rest of genesis | 27.01% | 99,666,900 |
- Nodes store ciphertext under deals; every epoch the contract challenges random segments and pays only for proofs that check.
- Knowledge earns only when a pinned model was allowed to use it and a held-out test shows it helped. Knowledge mining opens only after the white paper’s comparative experiment is published.
- Rewards halve every 36.9 years; from day 30 no account takes more than 3.69% of a day, and unused budget stays in the vault.
- Evaluators sign epoch results 2-of-3, with a challenge window and a guardian veto.
The vaults run on the Base Sepolia testnet; their audit is pending and they are not on mainnet. Nothing here is financial advice.
