Protocol · Tokenomics
Not speculation. Infrastructure.
DIRG is required for real actions. It is earned through real work. It burns with real usage. The complete economic design.
Two tokens, two purposes
DIRG — Governance + Utility
- Required to form a guild (stake 1,000 DIRG)
- Required for Code Block custodianship (staked, slashable)
- Required for compute node priority routing
- Earns through work: compute served, blocks maintained, jobs completed
- Burns: 10% of every bounty, 5% of inference fees, 2% of registry requests
- Supply: 1B hard cap. No pre-mine. Fair launch.
DSF-LP — Sovereign Fund Receipts
- Issued when participants deposit stablecoins / credits into the Dirgha Sovereign Fund
- Represents proportional claim on DSF yield
- Yield sources: protocol staking, lending, profitable ecosystem businesses
- 100% of DSF profits distribute to LP holders pro-rata
- Not equity in Dirgha AI Inc — protocol-level participation
Token distribution
| Allocation | % | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Work-mined | 60% | Compute, bounties, Code Block matches |
| Ecosystem DAO Treasury | 20% | Grants, incentives |
| Team | 15% | 4-year vesting, 1-year cliff |
| Strategic | 5% | 2-year lock |
Emission schedule
- Phase 1 (0–18 mo): Fixed 2M DIRG / month — bootstrap
- Phase 2 (18–48 mo): Dynamic emissions, scale with utilization (io.net model)
- Phase 3 (48+ mo): Halving every 2 years (Helium model)
Why DIRG doesn't fail like BTRST
Braintrust's BTRST token was governance-only. No utility, no burn, pure speculation. It dropped 99.9%.
DIRG is required for actions that generate real economic value: guild formation, block staking, compute routing. The demand is structural, not speculative. The burn is automatic with every use.
