Token Utility

Payment

• Gas Fees: All transactions and smart contract executions on the EMC public chain consume EMC as gas.

• Service Fees: AI Agent calls, hardware resource rentals, and data requests can be settled in EMC.

Governance

• DAO Voting: EMC holders can participate in governance votes, influencing protocol upgrades, budget allocations, and incentive model adjustments.

• Proposal Submission: High-stake or staked users may directly submit proposals that shape the ecosystem’s future direction.

Staking

• PoS / Validator Staking: EMC’s proof-of-stake consensus requires nodes to stake EMC for block rewards and mining incentives.

• Yield Sharing: Stakers earn dividends tied to node performance or lock-up duration, enhancing user engagement and loyalty.

Burning Mechanisms

• Transactional Burns: EMC spent on compute services (e.g., purchasing network compute via EMC Hub) may be automatically burned.

• Deflationary Incentives: Maintaining network stability while reducing circulating supply over time bolsters token scarcity and long-term value.
