The token,
and the gate it
launches behind
AiNT is designed with a token whose four functions switch on when the revenue they draw from is real. The gate, the functions and the subsidy ratio are published here before anything is deployed, so a reader checks the design against what eventually ships rather than the other way round.

What it is for
Four functions, each designed against one test: the product still works if the token never ships. A token holding up a product it invented is the failure mode this design is built to avoid, and none of the four pays anyone merely for holding.
A bond, not a ranking term
An operator posts a bond to enter a season. It is slashed for a rubric failure: invented data, a source that does not resolve, a thesis edited after the fact. It is never slashed for losing money, and a larger bond never ranks higher.
The bond's value comes from being at risk, not from being counted. A ranking term driven by stake size is the hardest version of the question counsel has to answer.
A discount on work that already has a price
Paying in the token reduces the price of a research artifact by 15%. The artifact is the product and it is sold for money first, so the discount is a payment method rather than a reason for the token to exist.
A token whose only demand is its own discount is circular. This one sits on top of revenue that works without it.
A buyback that burns
Half of platform revenue buys the token on the market and destroys it. Nothing accrues to a holder and nothing is distributed, because a distribution is a different instrument with a different regulator.
This is the mechanic most likely to make the token a financial instrument rather than a utility token, and it is question 12 to counsel. It is designed and it is not built.
A bond posted to be measured
Anyone can claim a track record and nobody can check one. An outside operator posts a bond to have its own claims measured under the arena's rules and published: the null hypothesis printed beside the result, the window on every figure, every refusal logged. The bond returns when the claim survives the method. Part of it burns when the claim does not, and that result publishes too.
It is the only one of the four whose buyer is not already inside the project, and it needs no staking contract: a bond is a transfer to a timelock and the measurement is the engine that already runs. Two things about it are open rather than settled. Holding a bond may read as custody under standing constraint 8, and a forfeit that burns is a penalty someone has to be able to appeal. Both are counsel's before either is built.
The ratio this design is judged by
A network can pay for its own activity by printing the thing it pays in, and report the activity as growth. The only defence against doing that accidentally is to publish the number that catches it, from the beginning, including while it is nothing.
subsidy ratio = customer revenue ÷ token incentives paid
kept above 1
€0
Nothing has been sold. No subscription, no artifact, no attestation
0
There is no token, so nothing has been emitted to anyone
undefined
Zero divided by zero. It becomes a number on the day either input does
Below 1 the project is buying its own usage, and the usage stops when the buying does. Above 1 the incentives are paid for by people who wanted the product. The number is worth nothing as a promise and something as a habit, so it gets published every season alongside the standings, starting from the season where both halves of it are zero.
The gate, stated as a number
Forty thousand euros of annualised revenue. Until 20.09.2026 it forbade the token existing at all. It now forbids the token meaning anything: a contract and a pool may come first, and until the revenue is real nothing accrues to holding one. The number itself did not move, and it is written down so that it cannot be moved by anyone who wants a launch more than they want the revenue.
€40,000
Annualised revenue, from subscriptions and research artifacts. Not raised, not committed, not pledged. Earned.
A token issued before the product earns anything is a claim on a business that does not exist, and the holder is funding the attempt rather than sharing in a result. The gate makes that impossible in the only way that works, which is by writing the number down before there is any pressure to move it. Splitting it keeps that intact: what the gate protects against is a claim on earnings that do not exist, and a token with no claim attached makes none.
The gate has a cost and it is not hidden: it is also what keeps the project small, because the budget that would pay for counsel is the budget the revenue is supposed to produce. On 20.09.2026 it was split rather than held or dropped. A token and a pool may exist before the revenue does, and nothing is attached to them while it does not: no fee accrual, no staking, no buyback and no claim on anything the project earns. The four functions above switch on when the forty thousand is real, and the ratio beside them is published from the first season either way. Nothing is deployed until counsel has answered, which is why the list below still starts where it starts.
What does not exist
A list rather than a paragraph, because a paragraph is where this kind of thing gets softened.
AiNT has never run a presale, an allocation, a whitelist or a private round, and nobody has ever been offered one. Any message telling you otherwise is a fraudulent approach and did not come from this project. An address appears on this page and in the repository on the same day, and nowhere earlier.
What has to happen first
Five steps, in the order they block each other. Three of them are answers rather than work, and none of them carries a date, because nothing here is scheduled.

Counsel answers
Whether the revenue buyback makes this a financial instrument rather than a utility token, and what has to be filed before the token is offered or admitted to trading in the EU. The questions are written and sent as section 4b of the lawyer brief.
- 02answered
The gate is confirmed or changed
Answered on 20.09.2026: the gate splits. A token and a pool may exist before €40,000 of annualised revenue does, with nothing attached to them. No fee accrual, no staking, no buyback and no revenue claim until the €40k is real. This decides which contract gets written, not when, because step one still comes first.
- 03open
Supply and float are decided
Total supply, the treasury share and an on-chain vesting schedule. This is written once and no later execution repairs a bad choice, which is why it is listed here rather than left until a contract is being written.
- 04not started
A contract, audited
An unmodified reference ERC-20, fixed supply, no mint function after deployment. Every extra function is a thing an auditor charges for and an exchange asks about.
- 05not started
A pool, and the address appears here
A pool on Base is the listing. It needs no permission and nobody reviews it. On the day one exists, the address appears on this page and in the repository together, and not before.
Steps one and two are the expensive ones and they are not engineering. A contract written before counsel has answered whether the buyback makes this a financial instrument is a contract that may have to be thrown away, which is why it sits at step four rather than step one.
The standing risk note
AiNT publishes every contract address on aintquant.com/token first and nowhere earlier. No token or staking contract is published today, so any address presented as AiNT is fraudulent. Under the plan, liquidity does not launch below EUR 40,000 annualised revenue.
Seasons are simulated. No real money is invested, held, executed or routed at any time, and AiNT never generates a personal recommendation. Past results, where any exist, are a record of what happened over a stated window and are not a forecast. A single season is entertainment.
