Token Distribution
60% Community & Data Contributors
60,000,000 $GPT
The majority allocation rewards users who contribute valuable ChatGPT conversation data. Earning is based on the proof-of-contribution system that evaluates:
- Conversation volume and depth
- Model usage quality (GPT-4 preference)
- Activity span and consistency
- Code usage and technical engagement
- Feedback participation

14% Foundation Reserve
14,000,000 $GPT
Reserved for ecosystem development, partnerships, research grants, and long-term platform sustainability. Subject to 6-month cliff + 18-month linear vesting.
8% Team Allocation
8,000,000 $GPT
Team tokens with 6-month cliff + 18-month linear vesting to ensure long-term commitment and alignment with community interests.
Earning Mechanism
Data contributor rewards are calculated through:
Core Scoring Categories
Conversation Activity
Earn points based on your total conversations and prompts. Higher engagement demonstrates important user behavior and creates richer datasets for AI training.
Platform Engagement
Longer activity spans and consistent usage patterns provide important longitudinal data. Historical engagement shows commitment to the ecosystem.
Quality Usage
Premium model usage (GPT-4) and conversation depth indicate high quality interactions that generate superior training data.
Advanced Features
Code generation usage and feedback participation demonstrate power-user behavior and contribute specialized data types.
Premium Status
ChatGPT Plus subscribers receive bonus points.
Bonding Curve & Reward Dynamics
$GPT rewards follow an exponential decay bonding curve designed to capture the diminishing marginal value of conversational data as the network scales. This algorithmic mechanism creates powerful economic incentives for early participation while ensuring sustainable long-term distribution.
Curve Structure
- Early Adopters (first 15K users): Highest rewards with premium decay rates (1.0â0.1).
- Network Growth (15Kâ1M users): Moderate rewards with mid-level decay rates (0.5â0.4).
- Mass Adoption (1M+ users): Minimal rewards with low decay rates (0.01â0.75), efficiently distributing tokens to millions and billions of users.
Economic Properties
The bonding curve ensures that those who contribute rare, high-quality conversational data during the network's early phases receive exponentially higher rewards. As the dataset matures and individual contributions become less unique, rewards naturally decrease while still maintaining participation incentives.
This creates a "data rush" dynamic where early adopters are rewarded for taking risks on an unproven network, while later participants benefit from a more established ecosystem. The curve efficiently allocates 60 million tokens across potentially 10+ billion users while maintaining economic sustainability.
