Reading Guide

This section follows a logical progression from token fundamentals to reward mechanisms:

1. Token Fundamentals

Start here to understand Bitplanet's dual-token system:

• Core Tokens - Governance-controlled genesis allocations that bootstrap new AIs. Learn about the proposal process, expiry mechanisms, and 1:1 conversion to Gems.

• Gem Tokens - AI-specific tradeable tokens in dual ERC-1155/ERC-20 formats. Understand minting process, market cap calculation, and the BeaconFactory deployment pattern.

2. Contribution Tracking

Understand how the system tracks and values contributions:

• AI Tensor Matrix - Multi-dimensional contribution tracking system with 6 contribution types (TRAIN, REFER, CREATE, PROMPT, REVENUE, MARKET_CAP). Learn about tensor storage, merging logic, and authorization flows.

3. Reward Mechanisms

Learn how rewards are calculated and distributed:

• Inflation Mechanism - Detailed algorithm for siphoning 50% of inflation from the distribution module and allocating it proportionally by market cap. Includes three-way split (Creator 50%, Application 30%, Contributors 20%) and 30-90 day rolling average market cap smoothing.

• Reward Distribution - Two-step allocation and claiming system. Understand claimable balances, EVM event-based claiming via BplCoinClaimed, and how contributors earn rewards based on historical tensor data.
