Economic FAQs

What does the emissions schedule look like for $INFER token?

• None, Infera is the backstop for supplying compute and will not need inflation to incentivize early miners

• Initially we are the only compute provider and will scale compute with USD buying power to avoid early token inflation similar to a recent situation where an early miner was hacked causing a mass sell off and price depression

• Over time we will on board decentralized nodes and off load the compute we are doing to them

• This allows us to have price controls at the outset to incentivize developers to come onboard for cheap compute without hurting our reputation with node runners

How is compute billing calculated?

• All spend is in $INFER but pegged to USD prices

• Developers pay per token (tokens are the input/output of an LLM model)

• Allows corporate users to budget in USD instead of $INFER expanding our user base

What does onramp look like?

• Direct credit card payment solution for developers

• 5% reserved for CC processing and onramp, 95% used to purchase INFER tokens

• Crypto Native projects can buy $INFER on a DEX and execute LLM inference directly on the network

How does $INFER accrue value over the long-term?

• 20% of the developer spend is used to buy back + burn tokens and manage operations

• 80% of spend is delivered to the miners for operations
