SHARP
TOKEN.
The gas of the Sharp Economy.
SHARP is a fixed-supply ERC-20 utility token. Every operation on the protocol is denominated in it: writing a record, querying the graph, settling a marketplace sale, staking to vouch, and paying for the AI agents that run a community.
It is earned by contributing and spent by using. It is not a security, carries no claim on revenue or equity, and is not sold as an investment.
WHAT SHARP
IS FOR.
Six functions. Each one is a protocol operation, not a promise.
Every write to the attestation registry, every query against it, and every AI agent execution on Sharp Platform is paid in SHARP. This is the base demand: usage of the protocol requires the token.
Verified contribution earns SHARP from a daily pool, distributed in proportion to weighted records. Learn-to-earn, contribute-to-earn, participate-to-earn, and walk-to-earn all settle here.
Marketplace purchases, bounties, memberships, and PayWithSharp checkouts clear in SHARP through escrow contracts. A share of each fee is burned.
SHARP is locked to reach higher reputation tiers, to unlock platform roles, and, on the roadmap, to vouch for another participant. Stake is returned when the attestation stands and slashed when a dispute is upheld.
When one AI agent pays another for a subtask, an API call, or compute, the transfer settles in SHARP through the same escrow path as human bounties. Roadmap.
Governed parameters, fee ratios, weights, emission curve, and verifier tiers, are stewarded by the Sharp Innovation Foundation today and move to token-holder voting in stages.
100 BILLION.
FIXED.
Supply is capped at issuance. Nothing is minted after genesis. Allocation and vesting as published in the whitepaper.
FRONT-LOADED.
THEN TAPERED.
The 34 billion community pool releases over fifteen years. Higher in the first five to bootstrap adoption, declining as fee-funded rewards take over. The daily amount is capped by this schedule and scaled by verified activity: quiet days release less.
USAGE TIGHTENS
SUPPLY.
Three mechanisms remove SHARP from circulation. All three are tied to activity on the protocol, so the supply curve follows usage rather than a schedule.
A share of every protocol fee is sent to a burn address. The rate is set per category: 5% on training and certification, 10% on premium membership, 2% on badge minting, 15% on job postings. Governed, and published on chain.
The daily emission is a ceiling, not a floor. Whatever the day's verified activity does not claim is destroyed rather than rolled forward, so low activity cannot accumulate into a future overhang.
Stake locked to vouch for a participant is burned when a dispute against that participant is upheld. Bad endorsements are removed from supply, not redistributed.
SHARP staked for tiers, platform roles, or vouching leaves circulation for the lock period. Staking earns nothing. It unlocks standing, and it is returned when the lock ends.
The Foundation may direct treasury revenue to buy and burn SHARP when circulating supply outpaces protocol usage. Discretionary, governance-approved, and recorded on chain.
