Governance Mechanisms Enabled by $MONAI Staking

2. Decentralized AI Governance

Token holders who stake $MONAI gain voting rights, allowing them to govern AI development and execution parameters, including:

✅ AI Agent Training Updates – Approving new datasets, learning optimizations, and AI feature rollouts.

✅ AI Execution Parameters – Adjusting AI decision-making logic, risk models, and operational intelligence.

✅ AI Agent Funding & Incubation Grants – Supporting research, new AI model contributions, and funding for AI-powered projects.

📌 Example Use Case:

• A DeFi risk assessment AI requires new transaction data for fraud detection.

• The community votes to approve a dataset, enabling the AI to become more efficient in identifying malicious transactions.

• Contributors who submit high-quality AI training data receive staking rewards in $MONAI.

✅ Decentralized governance ensures that AI models remain adaptive, secure, and optimized for long-term performance.

3. Staking for Revenue Sharing & Rewards

$MONAI stakers receive a percentage of fees from AI Agent transactions, launchpad funding rounds, and governance interactions.

✅ Users who contribute to AI model training and optimization receive additional staking rewards.

✅ Long-term staking provides bonus incentives, reducing circulating supply and reinforcing $MONAI’s value.

📌 Revenue Streams for Stakers:

💰 AI Agent Marketplace Fees – 2.5% transaction fees converted into staking rewards.

💰 Governance Proposal Execution – Fee-sharing from governance interactions.

💰 AI Subscription Services – AI-powered analytics and automation services generate revenue for $MONAI stakers.

✅ This ensures sustainable staking rewards while reinforcing AI ecosystem growth.
