IV. Tokenomics & Distribution — The Foundation of Aurion’s Economy
4.1 Overview
The Aurion Token (AUR) serves as the economic and operational backbone of the entire Aurion ecosystem, powering every layer of activity — from Compute and Pay to DePIN, RWA, and Grants. It unifies governance, incentivization, and settlement across all sub-projects, ensuring transparent alignment between users, developers, and institutional partners.
Key Token Parameters:
- ParameterDescription
Token Name
Aurion (AUR)
Total Supply
1 000 000 000 AUR (fixed, minted once at deployment)
Blockchain
Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
Token Standard
BEP-20 (ERC-20 compatible) + ERC20Votes governance extensions
Contract Libraries
OpenZeppelin (audited standards – ERC20Votes, Permit, Governor, VestingWallet)
Treasury & Vesting
Multi-sig DAO Treasury + dedicated VestingWallets for each allocation
Primary Use Cases
Access · Payments · Governance · Compute Credits · Staking
Target Circulating Supply at TGE
≈ 10–12 %
All tokens are minted a single time and immediately distributed to dedicated wallets representing each allocation category. No tokens remain in the deployer wallet, and no further minting is possible.

Distribution Mechanism:
On deployment, the smart contract automatically transfers each allocation’s tokens to its corresponding vesting wallet. All releases and withdrawals occur directly through those wallets under on-chain control — ensuring transparency, security, and auditability. The Community Distribution is coordinated externally through partnered centralized exchanges (CEX launch campaigns), not via any on-chain claim contract.
4.3 Vesting & Unlock Schedule
All time-based unlocks are enforced via OpenZeppelin VestingWallet logic with immutable on-chain schedules. Each category follows its own linear stream and optional cliff, preventing premature access and supporting long-term network stability.
Vesting Guarantees
Tamper-proof smart contracts (no manual unlocks).
Transparent on-chain timelines and release events.
Multi-sig DAO oversight for any administrative actions.
Public dashboards displaying current circulating supply and remaining locked tokens.
These mechanisms ensure gradual, merit-based distribution and mitigate short-term market distortion.
4.4 Chain Mapping & Security
Primary Network
Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
Token Standard
BEP-20 (EVM compatible with Ethereum interoperability)
Governance Extensions
ERC20Votes + EIP-2612 Permit for gasless approvals
Audit & Testing
Independent third-party audit (CertiK / PeckShield planned) + > 98 % unit-test coverage
Vesting Logic
Immutable OpenZeppelin VestingWallets deployed per allocation
Treasury Governance
3-of-5 multi-signature Gnosis Safe managed by Aurion Council
Transparency Dashboard
Real-time on-chain monitoring for circulating supply, vesting streams, and DAO treasury balances
Through these mechanisms, Aurion achieves institutional-grade security, auditability, and on-chain transparency from day one.
4.5 Token Utility
The AUR Token powers every core action in the Aurion ecosystem.
Utility Type
Description
Access & Fees
Required for interacting with Aurion dApps, Compute Nodes, RWA marketplaces, and ecosystem services.
Payments & Settlements
Medium of exchange within Aurion Pay and across integrated partner networks.
Compute Credits
Unit of resource within Aurion Compute, consumed by decentralized processing and data workloads.
Governance & Voting
Enables holders to participate in DAO proposals, ecosystem decisions, and fund allocation.
Staking & Yield
Supports network stability and earns yield from fees and treasury-backed reward cycles.
Grants & Incentives
Used for funding innovation, developer programs, and strategic collaborations.
By anchoring all ecosystem operations to AUR, utility and demand scale naturally with adoption.
4.6 Treasury & Governance Oversight
The Aurion DAO Treasury operates across segmented, multi-signature vaults:
Vault Type
Purpose
Oversight
Operations Vault
Exchange listings, audits, marketing, and maintenance.
Aurion Core Council (3/5 Multi-Sig).
Innovation Vault
Developer grants, incubation, and hackathon rewards.
DAO Governance.
Reserve Vault
Liquidity protection and stability reserves.
Multi-Sig Council.
Community Vault
Awareness, ambassador, and education programs.
DAO Sub-committee.
All inflows/outflows are recorded and viewable via the Aurion Treasury Dashboard, ensuring absolute transparency.
4.7 Circulation Dynamics
AUR supply is fixed at 1B, but effective circulation follows a measured unlock and burn pattern:
🧱 Fixed Supply: No inflationary minting beyond genesis allocation.
🔥 Deflationary Mechanism: Portion of transaction and compute fees are burned periodically.
🏦 DAO Emission Control: Emissions for staking or rewards are programmatically capped and community-adjustable.
💫 Real-Yield Model: Value redistributes from ecosystem activity rather than speculative inflation.
This design ensures token velocity aligns directly with utility and participation, not short-term speculation.
4.8 Economic Sustainability
Aurion’s economic model ensures self-sustaining long-term value through four core pillars:
Controlled Supply — Fixed issuance with predictable vesting schedules.
Utility-Driven Demand — Real-world use across Compute, Pay, RWA, and DePIN.
Treasury Transparency — DAO-controlled vaults prevent misuse and ensure accountability.
Community Alignment — Incentive programs tie user participation directly to ecosystem growth.
Together, these elements form a resilient, transparent, and sustainable economy for the entire Aurion ecosystem.
4.9 Summary
The AUR token is more than a utility asset — it is the connective value layer uniting all verticals within the Aurion ecosystem. By combining fixed-supply economics, transparent governance, and continuous ecosystem integration, Aurion ensures that growth, adoption, and token value remain structurally aligned.
This tokenomics framework is engineered to support long-term scalability, institutional trust, and community-driven expansion across every layer of the decentralized economy.
