Value Loop

Sources (Demand & Lockups)

  • PCC Consumption ESQ queries are paid in stablecoins; a fixed portion is automatically converted into $GEN and burned.

  • Node Staking Compute, audit, and anti-fraud nodes must stake $GEN to accept work.

  • Priority Access Staking $GEN grants priority queuing and expedited review during peak demand.

  • Governance Participation Submitting proposals and voting on key parameters requires locking $GEN.

  • Ecosystem Maintenance Maintainers of compliance templates and core connectors stake $GEN as a quality guarantee.


Sinks (Burns & Buybacks)

  • Burn-on-Usage $GEN acquired through PCC conversion is permanently burned.

  • Slashing Malicious or faulty nodes have a portion of their staked $GEN slashed; the remainder flows to the insurance pool.

  • Protocol Buybacks A portion of PSG network fees (denominated in stablecoins) is used to buy back $GEN.

  • Governance Lockups $GEN committed to governance enters time-based lockups, reducing circulating supply.
