Token

The Pangea token serves as the native utility for the decentralised orchestration layer, designed to align economic incentives between Validators, security monitors Guardians, and the bidding mechanisms of the Protocol and DAO Treasury Management.

The token will be issued on Ethereum Mainnet with a bridge to Pangea's L2 Orchestration Layer.

Core Functions

Staking & Security

  • Investors stake Pangea tokens to enable Validators to compete for rewards.
  • Validators stake Pangea tokens to participate in a bidding process competing for network revenue.
  • Token emissions provide validator rewards proportional to QoS and stake at risk.
  • Locked validator capital ensures long-term network commitment

Quality Assurance

  • Guardians receive token rewards for monitoring validator performance
  • Performance-based income model where guardians earn from maintaining high service standards

Value Stabilisation

  • Protocol collects fees and automatically balances demand with a token buy-back and lock mechanism
  • Token locking mechanism removes tokens from circulation for later investment or burn by vote

Economic Mechanics

Supply

Tokens are paid out only when revenue is generated. Fees are fixed to the dollar per time share and payment is accepted in stables or native tokens. The total supply is fixed at 2,000,000,000 tokens.

Demand Drivers

  • Validator staking requirements for network participation
  • Automatic protocol buy-backs funded by network revenue growth
  • Token locks reducing circulating supply without destruction
  • Staked token rewards attracts investors to the network driving market demand

Price Discovery

Rewards are issued as part of revenue share. The token buy-backs are balanced based on demand. The unlocking schedule will release tokens gradually over time. Most tokens are locked for 1 year plus 3 years linear vesting unless strategically unlocked earlier, i.e. treasury and retrospective rewards will be unlocked at network launch. The demand for the token is a direct correlation of it's utility and ability for validators to run a full stack of services. The DAO will fund innovation and new competitive services for the validator network to run - increasing demand and network fees. This creates a natural equilibrium that strengthens with network success, re-investment and sponsor adoption across RPC, indexing, aggregation, and AI inference services.

Value Proposition

The Pangea token accrues value through the network's growth flywheel: quality service drives adoption → adoption increases slot revenue → revenue funds automatic token buy-backs and locks → reduced liquid supply attracts more validators → enhanced security and capacity enable further growth → a strong token price means DAO can invest in new innovative services to attract new users.

Key Advantage

Unlike burning, locked tokens could potentially be used for future network governance, emergency reserves, or strategic partnerships while still removing them from active circulation and creating scarcity-driven value accrual. The use of locked tokens will be governed by DAO votes.

Investment

Investors who buy and stake tokens will enjoy a rate of interest that reflects the growth and revenue share of the network. As the rate of interest increases the demand for the token will increase, appreciating the value - as more investors stake their tokens the interest rate will reduce as the revenue share will become diluted. When the rate of interest lowers, investors will unstake and sell tokens, increasing liquidity and reducing demand for the token. In turn, this will increase the rate of interest and the demand for the staked token will increase once again. Thus the market price will incrementally reflect the success of the network and the growth of the token over time.
