The $TODA token

$TODA is the asset the network runs on. It coordinates who validates memory, whose memory gets kept, and how access and contribution are priced.

Staking and validation​

Holders stake $TODA behind memory they believe is worth keeping. Stakers are the network's validators: stake is what puts the AI validation layer to work over a data sequence and decides whether that data earns a place as memory. The same stake produces the network's signal, S, used for ranking, spam resistance, and rewards. S reflects conviction that memory is worth keeping. It does not prove that a fact is true.

Utility​

$TODA is designed for:

  • staking and validation
  • network service fees
  • contributor rewards
  • access to data and memory services
  • settlement in the memory exchange

Staking is the initial utility. Each further use is switched on as the network service behind it ships.

How value accrues​

Every memory that enters the network is validated, stored, and owned through the same asset. As more memory flows in, more validation, access, and settlement route through $TODA, and demand to hold and stake it tracks the memory the network carries rather than the fortunes of any single app built on top of it.

Memory exchange​

The memory exchange needs a common asset to price access and reward contributors. $TODA settles it.

See Staking for the current model.
