Token Utility & Payment Model for AI Features
SynthFi isn’t just a tool, it’s a token-powered protocol that tightly integrates utility and economic incentives around the $SYNTHFI token.
Why Token Gating?
AI is a powerful and resource-intensive feature. By requiring $SYNTHFI to access these tools, we:
Protect from spam and abuse
Incentivize holding the token
Create demand tied directly to real usage
Enable deeper governance over AI evolution
Payment Structure
Users pay in $SYNTHFI to unlock AI-related functions. This applies to both builders and end users, depending on how the protocol is used.
AI Feature Costs
Each AI-powered interaction has a token cost that can be configured by the protocol or the project creator.
AI code generation
100 tokens
AI logic suggestions
50 tokens
AI audit / simulation
150 tokens
Governance agent setup
200 tokens
Real-time protocol assistant prompt
5–10 tokens per prompt
Tokenomics simulation / optimization
120 tokens
AI integration setup on launch
$50 worth of $SYNTHFI upfront
🛠️ Note: Token costs may vary based on usage tier, user role, or DAO governance voting.
Pay-To-Enable AI Integration
When a builder chooses to enable AI integration during the Launchpad flow, they’ll be prompted to pay a flat fee, e.g.:
💰 Pay $50 worth of $SYNTHFI to unlock AI integration
This one-time fee unlocks the full suite of intelligent features for that project.
🌐 Optional Micropayments
Projects can also choose to require their users to spend $SYNTHFI to access certain AI tools on their frontend. This turns AI into:
A monetizable protocol utility
A token sink (removing tokens from circulation)
A source of recurring revenue
Revenue Flow
Fees go into the SynthFi treasury
Some may be burned (deflationary)
Others may be redistributed to stakers or used to fund further AI development
Governance Over AI Economics
Token holders can vote on:
How much AI features cost
Whether to enable/disable new features
Revenue split parameters
AI model upgrades and training priorities
Future Add-ons
Tiered subscriptions (e.g., “SynthFi Pro” for power users)
Usage analytics dashboards
On-chain affiliate referrals for AI-powered protocols
