Use Cases

🏢 Advertisers & Agencies

PCC Settlement: When purchasing PCC (stablecoin) for ESQ, a fixed percentage is automatically converted into $GEN for burning or locking.

Resource Priority: Stake $GEN → Gain priority in processing queues, peak-time capacity, and quotas for compliance dry-runs.

Governance Participation: Use $GEN to vote on rate curves, compliance templates, connector white-listing, and protocol deprecation timelines.

📺 Media & Publishers

Access & Guarantee: Integrating the SDK is free. However, staking $GEN is required to apply for "Fast-Track Clearing" (shorter PSG cycles and more milestones).

Penalties: If challenged and found in violation → Staked $GEN is slashed according to rules (partial burn and partial compensation).

Performance Incentives: Earn $GEN incentives from the network rebate pool based on VUR quality weight.

⚙️ Compute / Audit / Anti-Fraud Nodes

Eligibility: $GEN staking is mandatory to accept tasks. Processing capacity and compute quotas are linked to staking volume and reputation.

Income Structure: Stablecoin rewards for tasks + decaying $GEN performance subsidies.

Slashing: Misconduct (e.g., false proofs, service refusal) → Staking forfeiture → Burn + Compensation → Reputation reset/Blacklisting.

👤 Users (Data Subjects)

Dividend Settlement: Rewards are distributed exclusively in stablecoins (to avoid volatility and regulatory ambiguity).

Advisory Governance: Use $GEN to participate in advisory governance regarding product roadmaps and default privacy parameters (does not affect individual mandatory rights).

🛠️ Developers & Partners

Incentives: Earn $GEN through Grants and milestone-based rewards.

Usage Rebates: Developers of successfully listed connectors or templates earn $GEN rebates from network fees based on actual usage weight.
