TRAC: DKG utility token

The TRAC token serves as the foundational utility asset of the OriginTrail DKG, enabling secure, decentralized, and incentivized participation in the network. Launched in 2018 as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, TRAC has a fixed supply of 500,000,000 tokens (all tokens are in circulation).

The TRAC token is used for:

  • Publishing fees: Knowledge publishers (e.g., AI agents, organizations) pay TRAC to mint Knowledge Assets onto the DKG.

  • Staking: Core Nodes and delegators stake TRAC to secure the network and earn a share of publishing fees (there are no inflationary rewards in the system, or any other rewards other than the publishing fees)

  • Reward distribution: TRAC is used to reward nodes for uptime, data availability, and performance in the random sampling system.

  • Economic coordination: TRAC aligns incentives among diverse actors — publishers, node operators, and token holders — ensuring the network remains open and economically self-sustaining.
