Overview

💡 Token Utility & Consumption Model
$TAPS features a true utility sink design within our ecosystem:
Free Tier Access: Basic IP verification and limited searches available without tokens.
Access to Services: The token grants access to premium features, usage credits, or discounts within the platform.
Usage Fees: Tokens can be used to pay for API calls, analytics, or other metered services.
Discounts / Benefits: Users paying with tokens receive discounts within the platform and may unlock higher service tiers or platform bonuses (e.g. increased usage limits, priority support).
Power User Credits: Tokens are burned when accessing advanced verification features, batch processing, and priority queue services beyond free tier limits.
Enterprise API Access: After a limited free tier, developers consume tokens with each additional API call, creating a sustainable B2B utility sink scaled to usage volume.
Contributor Rewards: Earn tokens by enhancing the platform with verified metadata and content additions, creating a balanced ecosystem where active participants benefit.
📐 Economic Design
The $TAPS tokenomics structure supports sustainable ecosystem growth while minimizing regulatory risk:
Access-Limited Supply: Tokens enter circulation only through scheduled, publicly verifiable unlocks.
Usage-Driven Circulation: The unlocked tokens are deployed exclusively for platform activity—not for speculative gain.
Consumption-Based Model: Tokens are permanently removed from circulation when used for services, creating a true utility sink that reinforces the token's purpose as a service access mechanism.
❌ What $TAPS is Not
To avoid any misinterpretation regarding regulatory classification, $TAPS does not:
Grant voting rights or influence over protocol governance
Represent equity, ownership, or claims on future revenue
Promise dividends, yield, or any form of passive income
🔎 Transparency & Accountability
Public Reporting: All token unlocks and wallet addresses associated with the team-held supply will be publicly disclosed.
Consumption Metrics: Regular reporting on token consumption rates via platform usage and utility sinks.
Decision Basis: Allocation decisions are made solely based on operational and ecosystem needs.
Visibility: Real-time dashboards will track both token flows and consumption rates.
