8.1 Token Economy
CSWON Alpha Role
| Actor | Earns | Stakes | Can Swap to TAO? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miners | Alpha (41% cut) | Not required | Yes |
| Validators | Alpha (41% cut) | Alpha (voluntary bond) | Yes |
| Stakers | Alpha dividends | Alpha or TAO | Yes (auto for TAO stakers) |
| Owner | Alpha (18% cut) | — | Yes |
Liquidity Maintenance
- Each block, TAO is injected proportionally to Alpha injection
- TAO-staked delegators receive Alpha dividends auto-converted to TAO
- Phase 3 gateway fees increase buy pressure
- Emission rate governed by net TAO inflows under Taoflow
Phase 3 Fee Flow (Month 12+)
Gateway-collected, not protocol-enforced:
Workflow fee = 5% of actual TAO spent
Example: 0.0072τ workflow → 0.00036τ fee
Distribution: Miners 70% · Validators 20% · Treasury 10%
Projection at 100K workflows/day × $500/TAO ≈ $540K/month
Users integrating directly at the protocol level pay no fee in v1.
