Tokenomics and Incentive Structure

​

$STREAM Token

The $STREAM token serves as the backbone of the Stream AI ecosystem, facilitating various functions:

a) Reward Distribution: Compensating network participants for their contributions.

b) Governance: Enabling token holders to participate in protocol decision-making.

c) Access Rights: Granting access to the Data Registry and upcoming decentralized data marketplace.

d) Staking: Allowing users to stake tokens to run Validator Nodes or Gateway Nodes.

Reward Mechanism

Stream AI employs a sophisticated reward mechanism to incentivize high-quality contributions and network participation:

a) Performance-Based Rewards: Nodes are rewarded based on the quality and quantity of data they help collect and process as well as the amount of data plans they reserve for fulfilling scraping requests.

b) Reputation System: An AI-powered system evaluates node performance, adjusting reward distributions accordingly.

c) Geographical Bonuses: Additional rewards for nodes operating in high-demand or underserved regions to ensure global network coverage.

d) Long-Term Incentives: Staking mechanisms and governance rights to encourage long-term commitment to the network.
