AIVA isn’t just a unit of account; it is the fuel, meter, and incentive layer of the protocol.
Each UI frame rendered, each function call, and every on-chain execution either burns AIVA or redistributes it to the stakeholders who secure and extend the network. The table below breaks down the core revenue mechanisms and why they matter.
Mechanism
How it Works
Why it Matters
Gas & UI Credits
Each live-generated component (chart, table, swap widget, etc.) consumes micro-$AIVA. Power-users, bots, and SaaS integrations continuously buy credits to keep pipelines running.
Usage-linked burn = deflation tied to real demand, not hype.
Execution Fee (0.30 %)
Levied on every swap, stake, booking, or cross-chain transfer routed through an AIVA UI. Split: 50 % burn • 30 % stakers • 20 % treasury.
Users finance future dev while stakers secure paths and earn flow-based yield.
Path Royalty
0.10 % micro-toll on each call to a third-party MCP path. 70 % → path creator • 20 % burn • 10 % treasury.
Turns any integration into a cash-flow asset, magnetising builders to the ecosystem.
Staked Governance
Locked $AIVA = voting power on fee curves, treasury grants, whitelist / slash decisions for high-impact paths.
“Skin-in-the-game” curation keeps spam out and quality high.
Collateral Layer (v2)
High-risk or high-TVL paths can require bonded $AIVA as economic insurance.
Aligns security with value-at-risk; encourages long-term holding.
Flywheel Summary
More users ⇒ more renders & execs ⇒ more $AIVA burned.
Higher volumes ⇒ larger fee pool ⇒ higher staking APR ⇒ more tokens locked.
More builders ⇒ richer path catalog ⇒ more use-cases ⇒ step 1 repeats.
The circulating supply shrinks while utility, yield, and builder upside expand—a mutually reinforcing loop that rewards participation without promising price appreciation.
$AIVA is a pure-utility token used for gas, governance, and security bonding. It is not designed or marketed as an investment contract
Result: a launch that discourages bots, rewards real users, and secures a sustainable budget to push AIVA toward becoming Web3’s default interface layer.
Utility First, Everywhere. Every click a user saves or path a dev exposes requires $AIVA—ensuring baseline demand regardless of market cycles.
Builder Magnetism. 70 % path royalties + upcoming hackathon grants create an onboarding funnel for third-party talent that compounds network effects.
Elastic Security. Staking and optional path-bonding scale economic guarantees in proportion to value-at-risk, keeping the protocol solvent without central intermediaries.
Treasury-Backed R&D. A constant 20 % protocol cut funds audits, liquidity programs, and strategic partnerships—feeding long-term resilience.
Opt-in Premium Layer.AIVA Pro fees are discretionary; power-users subsidise core UX while retail enjoys fee-less base usage.
Result: a self-feeding economy where growth in personalised, zero-click interfaces directly translates into token utility, network security, and continuous burn—without relying on speculative narratives.
