# ATTN Tokenomics

> Building the Economic Layer of Reality  |  Updated 23 September, 2025

## 1. Introduction

The **ATTN token** is the native currency of the **Collective Memory Protocol** - a decentralized social and economic layer where users create and curate Memories (time-stamped, geo-anchored content). ATTN powers staking, governance, incentives, and monetization across the ecosystem.

## 2. Token Overview

**Name:** Attention Token (ATTN)\
**Standard:** ERC-20 (Base)\
**Address:** 0x032a7252B4932c44bdE89AEE6275744376a96BFF\
**Total Supply:** 1,000,000,000 ATTN\
**Initial Price:** 1 ATTN = 0.01 USDC\
**Decimals:** 6

## 3. Token Utility

ATTN is designed to capture and monetize attention within the Collective Memory ecosystem. \
\
Core utilities:

* **Signaling Importance:** Users stake ATTN into Memories, signaling importance and receiving Memory Tokens.
* **Creator Rewards:** Creators earn ATTN from Memory staking and direct tips.
* **Revenue Distribution:** ATTN funds Memory revenue pots, rewarding stakers.
* **Advertising Boosts:** Brands inject ATTN into Memories to reach audiences.
* **Governance (future):** Token holders will participate in protocol upgrades and treasury allocations.
* **Data Licensing (future):** ATTN is the medium of exchange for accessing the Reality Graph (decentralized, verified dataset).

## 4. Token Allocation

| **Category**      | **Share** | **Amount**  | **Cliff** | **Vesting Schedule**   | **Initial Unlock** |
| :---------------- | :-------- | :---------- | :-------- | :--------------------- | :----------------- |
| Company           | 10%       | 100,000,000 | 1 yr      | 3 yrs linear           | 0%                 |
| Team              | 10%       | 100,000,000 | 1 yr      | 3 yrs linear           | 0%                 |
| Backers           | 25%       | 250,000,000 | 1 yr      | 2 yrs linear           | 0%                 |
| Initial Liquidity | 10%       | 100,000,000 | 0         | –                      | 100%               |
| Grants            | 10%       | 100,000,000 | 0         | 10 yrs inverse sigmoid | 20%                |
| Incentives        | 35%       | 350,000,000 | 0         | 10 yrs inverse sigmoid | 20%                |

## 5. Emission Schedule

* **Inflationary Supply:** Ongoing emissions offset by ATTN locking in Memories.
* **Daily Airdrops:** 300,000 ATTN/day to curated Memories (decays annually).
* **Event Rewards:**
  * Memory of the Day: 50,000 ATTN ; 2nd place: 40,000 ATTN ; 3rd place: 30,000 ATTN
  * Daily challenge winners: The amount changes according to the challenge

## 6. Staking & Redemption Mechanics

When staking into a Memory:

* **70%** → Principal Pot (redeemable on exit)
* **25%** → Revenue Pot (shared among Memory Token holders)
* **5%** → Creator Pot (direct reward; staker also receives creator tokens)

Upon redemption:

* User retrieves their **70% principal**
* Plus **pro-rata share** of the Revenue Pot
* Memory Tokens are **burned**

## 7. Protocol Revenue Model

**Core Fees**

* **0.1%** on staking
* **0.25%** on redemption
* **0.5%** on creator withdrawals

\
**Liquidity Pools**

* **0.3%** fee on AMM swaps (ATTN, Memory Tokens, USDC)

\
**Extended Revenue Streams**

* **Advertising Integration** – ATTN injections by brands
* **Reality Graph Licensing** – access to anonymized/aggregated Memories
* **On-Chain AI Fee Sharing** – protocol-to-protocol revenue with AI systems
* **Private Graphs** – enterprise deployments (supply chain, events, analytics)

## 8. Governance

* **Current:** Protocol-controlled via company’s multisig.
* **Future:** ATTN holders will vote on treasury spending, grant allocations, fee parameters, and protocol upgrades.

## 9. Demand Drivers & Token Sinks

**Demand Drivers:**

* Staking into Memories (visibility + ownership)
* Creator incentives
* Advertising spend
* AI/data licensing demand

**Sinks / Locks:**

* ATTN staked into Memories (locked until redemption)
* Publishing fees (spam deterrence, refunded if Memory gains traction)

## 10. Composability

* **ERC-20 ATTN:** Standard fungible token.
* **ERC-4626 Memory Vaults:** Each Memory functions as a tokenized vault with shares.
* **Composable Memories:** Memories can be backed by other Memories’ tokens → meta-narratives, ETFs, or recursive curation.
* **Inter-Memory Liquidity:** Memory tokens trade via AMMs, creating narrative-driven price signals.

## 11. Market & Liquidity Strategy

*Initial* Liquidity (10%) allocated for CEX/DEX pools.

**ATTN \<> USDC (on Base)**

* Address: 0xf90bd5415e8c812cb9a2015598193dcb11833d7c
* 45M ATTN tokens
* Min price: 0.01 USDC
* Max price: 0.05 USDC
* Liquidity locked until 1st January 2026 

**ATTN \<> ETH (on Base)**

* Address: 0x53D8288cE9CbcB97FFfaCFD710c866F721a2394b
* 55M ATTN tokens
* Min price: 0.00000352238 ETH
* Max price: 0.00034 ETH
* Liquidity locked until 1st January 2027 
* Protocol incentivizes LPs via ATTN rewards.
* Goal: ensure seamless swaps between ATTN ↔ USDC and ATTN ↔ Memory Tokens.

## 12. Risk Disclosures

* **Smart Contract Risk:** Bugs or exploits in staking/redemption contracts.
* **Market Risk:** Token price volatility and liquidity risks.
* **Concentration Risk:** Early backers/treasury may hold large shares.
* **Regulatory Risk:** Token classification subject to jurisdictional laws.
* **Inflation Risk:** Ongoing emissions, though offset by locked ATTN and burn mechanics.

## 13. Adoption & Current Traction

* **>1.6M Memories posted** across iOS, Android, Web.
* **10x higher content production** vs. traditional social platforms.
* Verified coverage of conflict zones, live events, cultural phenomena.
* Growing base of creators, curators, and advertisers.

## 14. Closing Vision

ATTN is not just a token - it’s the **currency of attention and reality perception**. By embedding incentives, staking, and composable mechanics into social and cultural participation, ATTN turns reality itself into an economic layer for decentralized AI and human knowledge.
