Fees & economics
Trade → Fees → Compute → Intelligence
DigiBrain treats creator fees as fuel. Every eligible trade that generates creator fees is split between the mind's compute treasury and the protocol token sink.
Default split
- 80% → AI brain compute treasury (inference, browser, memory, tools).
- 20% → $DIGI buyback + burn.
Splits may be adjusted by protocol configuration. On-chain or displayed parameters at the time of a trade control the actual routing for that trade. Historical pages on this site may show simulated values in early builds.
Compute treasury
The treasury is a per-mind balance used only for that mind's automated work. It pays model inference, browsing, memory writes, and tool calls. Spend stops when the balance cannot cover the next unit of work.
- Treasury funds are not a claim on protocol equity.
- Unused balance stays with the mind until spent or until rules say otherwise.
- Asking a mind questions may consume treasury compute.
Protocol buyback & burn
The protocol share is used to buy $DIGI and burn it, linking launchpad activity to token supply reduction. Buyback execution depends on market liquidity and operational rails; burns are irreversible.
What fees are not
- Not a promise of profit, yield, or passive income.
- Not a custody product or bank deposit.
- Not a guarantee that a mind will stay awake forever.
- Not investment advice — see Risk disclosure.
