LINGOAI Tokenomics

LINGOAI Token ($LINGOAI) is the native utility token of the LingoAI. The initial total LINGOAI supply is 100 billion. It encompasses the supply, distribution, utility, and governance to ensure a balanced and sustainable ecosystem.

Token Distribution

The 45% of total supply, 45 billion LINGOAI are for community rewards.

Incentive

Users are not only able to use a wider range of trusted AI products like LingoPod, but are rewarded with tokens in return through mining of contributing real corpus data including speech, text, video, image corpus and maintaining technical nodes.

There are different roles in ecosystem. Any user in the ecosystem could place their role and be rewarded accordingly.

Miners

Ordinary users can register LingoCrowd or get a LingoPod to contribute data. Professional translators can proofread and validate data. Professional data manager can do the data annotation. Developers can assist enterprise or individual user to fine-tune AI models or privately deploy the model in a crowdsourcing way to earn LINGOAI.

Node Providers

When all the earned or purchased LINGOAI tokens in the mining pool are sufficient for staking, they can stake and become node providers. Node providers can be node initiators or delegates, both of them will receive corresponding rewards.

Utility

Staking and Participation Commitment

LINGOAI holders may optionally commit their tokens into protocol-governed staking contracts to support ecosystem operations. This commitment serves as a form of collateral to promote responsible participation and discourage dishonest behavior.

Users may delegate their tokens to node operators, who contribute data-processing resources. These operators are eligible to receive protocol-level rewards based on their verified contributions and uptime performance. No fixed or guaranteed returns are offered.

Payment for Services

LINGOAI tokens can be used within the ecosystem to access premium services, language data, or tools. Enterprises and public-sector users may also make purchases in fiat. Users who pay using LINGOAI tokens may enjoy preferential pricing compared to fiat-based services.

Data contributors will receive LINGOAI tokens as rewards based on the quality and quantity of their verified data contributions.

Governance

Governance is a cornerstone of the LingoAI ecosystem, empowering users to actively participate in the decision-making process. Users can submit proposals and vote on key topics including corpus data policies, incentive adjustments, and platform rules.

To submit a proposal, participants must place a refundable token deposit, which helps deter spam and low-quality suggestions. The deposit is returned upon successful approval of the proposal.

LanguageDAO and Data Review Integrity

To maintain quality assurance, LingoAI will launch a LanguageDAO tasked with overseeing community-led data review.

Members must place a reputation deposit of LINGOAI tokens to participate. If a DAO reviewer fails to complete tasks diligently or on time, their deposit may be partially or fully forfeited and redistributed to other active node contributors. This mechanism incentivizes accountability without offering financial return guarantees.

Token Burn Mechanism

LingoAI Foundation will implement a structured token deflation mechanism. This involves regularly buying back and burning a portion of the utility tokens to reduce the total supply.

Profit Allocation for Buyback and Burn: The LingoAI Foundation will allocate up to 30% of its quarterly profits for the purpose of buying back and burning tokens. Foundation will conduct token burns every quarter. To prevent excessive reduction in token supply and ensure long-term stability, the annual token burn cap will be set at 20% of the total initial supply.
