## Tokenomics

### Overview

**Qbyte Network** is built on a **community-first, fair-launch token model** designed to maximize decentralization, transparency, and long-term sustainability.

The **QBYT** token powers network operations, governance, and incentives while ensuring **zero team allocation**, a **fixed supply**, and **on-chain accountability**.

***

### Token Details

* **Network Name:** **Qbyte Network**
* **Token Name:** **Qbyte Network** 
* **Symbol:** **QBYT**
* **Max Supply:** **21,000,000 QBYT**
* **Supply Type:** Fixed / Hard-capped
* **Minting:** Disabled permanently (no inflation)
* **Team Allocation:** **None (0 QBYT)**

QBYT follows Bitcoin-style scarcity while serving as an infrastructure token for decentralized AI simulation, humanoid coordination, and distributed compute.

***

### Supply Allocation

#### Total Supply: **21,000,000 QBYT**

#### 1. Liquidity Pool Allocation

* **20,000,000 QBYT (95.238%)**
* Deployed into DEX liquidity at launch
* Enables:
  * Fair price discovery
  * Permissionless community distribution
  * Immediate decentralization

**Liquidity Safety**

* LP tokens are **locked or burned**
* Lock proof is publicly verifiable
* No ability for founders or insiders to remove liquidity

***

#### 2. Community Staking Rewards

* **1,000,000 QBYT (4.762%)**
* Reserved exclusively for:
  * Community staking rewards
  * Long-term holder incentives
  * Decentralized ownership expansion

> All rewards come **only from this allocation** — no new QBYT is ever minted.

***

### Transaction Tax Model

#### Tax Scope

* **3% tax on BUY transactions**
* **3% tax on SELL transactions**
* **0% tax on wallet-to-wallet transfers** 

#### Tax Allocation

| **Total**                   | **3%**     |

#### Tax Usage

Collected tax funds:

All treasury activity is reported publicly.

***

### Staking Rewards Model

#### Community Staking Pool

* **Total Allocation:** **1,000,000 QBYT**
* **Emission Type:** Fixed pool (no inflation)

#### Recommended Distribution Schedule

* **36 months:** \~27,777 QBYT / month *(most sustainable)*\
  **or**
* **24 months:** \~41,666 QBYT / month *(accelerated growth)*

#### Optional Pool Structure

* **Community Staking Pool** – standard rewards
* **Node / Compute Contributor Pool** – boosted incentives
* **Governance Participation Pool** – voting rewards

All parameters are adjustable via DAO governance.

***

### Governance (Qbyte DAO)

**QBYT** is the governance token of **Qbyte DAO**, enabling full community control over the network.

#### DAO Governance Scope

* Treasury spending approvals
* Staking emissions & pool weights
* Infrastructure incentives
* Protocol upgrades
* Ecosystem grants
* Strategic partnerships

#### Governance Phases

**Phase 1 – Multisig Treasury**

* Public multisig wallets
* Transparent signers
* On-chain tracking

**Phase 2 – DAO Proposals & Voting**

* QBYT holders submit and vote on proposals

**Phase 3 – Full On-Chain Governance**

* DAO-controlled treasury
* Protocol parameters fully decentralized

***

### Fair Launch & Anti-Whale Protection

To ensure a fair and decentralized launch:

#### Initial Protection (24–72 hours)

* Max transaction limit
* Max wallet holding limit
* Optional cooldowns

These protections are **temporary** and removed automatically or by DAO vote.

***

### Utility of QBYT

QBYT is the core utility and governance asset of **Qbyte Network**:

* Pay for AI compute & simulation execution
* Stake to earn community rewards
* Incentivize node & infrastructure operators
* Participate in DAO governance
* Access ecosystem and marketplace services

***

### Transparency & Trust Commitments

Qbyte Network enforces strict trust principles:

* **0 team tokens**
* **Fixed supply (21M QBYT)**
* **LP locked or burned**
* **Public treasury tracking**
* **DAO-controlled governance**
* **No hidden allocations**

***

### Tokenomics Summary
