Tokenomics

$PLAI has a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. The allocation of this is structured to ensure the network develops sustainably, while empowering creators, rewarding contributors, and fuelling ecosystem adoption. A large share of tokens is dedicated to community-driven initiatives, since the long-term success of PlayAI depends on an active creator base, a thriving integration ecosystem, and a deeply engaged user community.

Community Incentives (55%)

More than half of the total supply is set aside for direct community participation and ecosystem expansion. This pool is distributed across three primary tracks:

  • Ecosystem Growth (30%): With a 3 months lock and 3 years vesting, this allocation fuels the long-term development of the PlayAI ecosystem. It will support reward pools for Play Studio creators whose contributions drive adoption, integrations into the MadRims ecosystem, and incentives for node operators who maintain and scale the network’s reliability. Together, these initiatives ensure builders and infrastructure providers are rewarded for their contributions to PlayAI’s success.

  • Marketing & Liquidity (20%): Designed to strengthen PlayAI’s market presence and reward active participants, this allocation is partially unlocked at launch (5%) with the remaining (15%) released over 12 months. It will fund community focused incentives starting with rewards for programs like the Kaito Yapper community and expand to include initiatives for future contributors. At the same time, it underpins liquidity programs to ensure $PLAI launches to the open market in a healthy, accessible environment for all.

  • Community Sale & Airdrop (5%): This pool creates immediate opportunities for broader participation in the network. Community sale vibes with a full unlock and gives individuals a chance to acquire tokens and join as stakeholders, while airdrops reward early supporters, decentralize ownership, and help seed a strong base of long-term aligned token holders. More details on the airdrop will be announced soon.

Core Team & Early Contributors (15%):

A 15% supply of the $PLAI token is allocated to the core development team and early contributors who were fundamental in building the network from its inception. This allocation is subject to a 1-year cliff, followed by a 4-year vesting period. This long-term schedule is designed to align the team's incentives with the sustained success and growth of PlayAI Network.

Backers & Advisors (18%):

An 18% supply of the $PLAI token is designated for strategic partners and advisors who provided crucial capital and expert guidance during the formative stages of the network development. This allocation also includes a 1-year cliff, followed by a linear unlock over 3 years. This structure rewards their early support while ensuring their continued involvement and commitment to the project's long-term vision.

PLAI Foundation (12%):

12% supply of the $PLAI token will be held by the PLAI foundation. This independent entity will hold these tokens to support the network's long-term development, manage community-driven governance, and fund strategic initiatives that promote the health and growth of the PlayAI ecosystem. These tokens have a 1-year cliff and a 2-year vesting period, providing the foundation with a stable and predictable flow of resources to fulfil its mandate.

Conclusion

PlayAI is a transformative orchestration protocol designed to unify the web3 ecosystem and the broader AI landscape into a seamless, interconnected experience.

The $PLAI token is central to this vision, acting as the primary economic and governance mechanism that secures the network, incentivizes contributions, and powers transactions. By embedding the token's utility across its core functions including creator economics, network infra, data mining, and governance, PlayAI fosters a self-reinforcing flywheel effect. This model ensures continuous growth and community engagement, positioning PlayAI as a foundational platform for the next phase of AI and Web3 integration.
