Tokenomics
The $DEXB token powers the DexBotics ecosystem through staking, governance, and fee rebates.
Token Utility
1. Oracle Staking
Oracles must stake $DEXB to participate in attestation:
- Minimum stake: 1,000 $DEXB
- Recommended stake: 5,000+ $DEXB for higher weight
- Slashing risk: 10-50% for malicious behavior
Benefits:
- Earn attestation fees (0.1% of task value)
- Governance voting power
- Priority in task assignment
2. Robot Collateral Reduction
Robots with staked $DEXB enjoy reduced collateral requirements:
| Staked $DEXB | Collateral Multiplier |
|--------------|----------------------|
| 0 | 1.0× (full collateral) |
| 1,000+ | 0.8× (20% reduction) |
| 5,000+ | 0.6× (40% reduction) |
| 10,000+ | 0.4× (60% reduction) |
3. Fee Rebates
Active participants receive fee rebates based on stake:
- Task creators: 10-30% fee rebate
- Robots: 20-40% of collateral return
- Oracles: 100% of attestation fees
4. Governance
1 $DEXB = 1 vote on:
- Protocol parameter changes
- Fee structure adjustments
- Treasury allocation
- Program upgrades
Token Distribution
Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 $DEXB
| Allocation | % | Tokens | Vesting |
|-----------|---|--------|---------|
| Team | 20% | 200M | 4-year linear |
| Investors | 15% | 150M | 3-year linear |
| Community | 40% | 400M | Incentives & rewards |
| Treasury | 15% | 150M | DAO-controlled |
| Liquidity | 10% | 100M | Immediate |
Staking Rewards
Stakers earn from multiple sources:
1. Inflation Rewards
- 5% annual emission
- Distributed proportionally to stakers
- Decaying schedule over 10 years
2. Protocol Fees
- 0.5% of all task values
- 50% to stakers, 50% to treasury
3. Slashing Penalties
- Redistributed to honest oracles
- Improves stake yield
Example APY calculation:
Base APY: 5% (inflation)
+ Fee share: 2-8% (depends on volume)
+ Slashing rewards: 0.5-2%
= Total APY: 7.5-15%
Slashing Mechanics
Oracles can lose staked $DEXB for:
Minor Infractions (10% slash):
- Late attestation (>5 minutes)
- Missed attestation
- Low agreement rate (<80%)
Major Infractions (50% slash):
- Provably false attestation
- Collusion evidence
- Repeated minority votes
Critical Infractions (100% slash):
- Double-voting
- Private key compromise
- Malicious bot behavior
Slashed tokens are:
- 50% burned
- 25% to reporters
- 25% redistributed to honest oracles
Governance Process
Voting Power:
votes = staked_DEXB * sqrt(stake_duration_days)
Longer stakes have more weight (up to 2× at 365 days).
Proposal Threshold:
- 100,000 $DEXB to create proposal
- 4% quorum required
- 66% approval to pass
Categories:
1. Parameter changes (2-day vote)
2. Treasury spending (3-day vote)
3. Emergency actions (1-day vote, 75% approval)
