# Emission Model

AImagine’s ecosystem is designed to <mark style="color:orange;">**r**</mark><mark style="color:orange;">**eward active participants**</mark><mark style="color:orange;">,</mark> including liquidity providers and long-term token holders. The platform implements a structured token emission model that ensures sustainable token distribution while incentivizing those who contribute to the liquidity and stability of AI agent tokens.

### What is Token Emission?

Token emission refers to the <mark style="color:orange;">**controlled release of tokens into circulation,**</mark> which is strategically designed to reward ecosystem participants while maintaining scarcity and value appreciation.

#### Key goals of the AImagine token emission model:

* Sustainable Growth – Prevents oversupply and inflation.
* Incentivized Liquidity Provision – Encourages users to add liquidity to AI agent token pools.
* Staking & Governance Rewards – Rewards long-term engagement and participation in AI agent governance.

### Token Emission Model

AImagine distributes newly emitted tokens through multiple channels to ensure fair allocation and long-term sustainability.

#### 1. AI Agent Staking & Governance Rewards

* Users who stake <mark style="color:orange;">**$AIMG**</mark> or AI agent tokens receive staking rewards.
* Governance participants who actively vote on AI agent upgrades earn <mark style="color:orange;">**additional token incentives**</mark><mark style="color:orange;">.</mark>
* A portion of emissions is allocated to SubDAOs governing AI agents.

#### 2. Liquidity Mining & Incentives for LPs

* Users who provide liquidity to AI agent tokens on decentralized exchanges receive additional rewards.
* Liquidity providers (LPs) earn <mark style="color:orange;">**trading fees + token emissions,**</mark> increasing their yield.
* Emissions decreases over time to incentivize early adopters while maintaining long-term sustainability.

#### 3. AI Model Contribution Incentives

* Developers who contribute datasets, improve AI models, or enhance agent algorithms receive <mark style="color:orange;">**emission rewards**</mark><mark style="color:orange;">.</mark>
* AImagine rewards open-source development and innovation to foster continuous AI evolution.
