Utility & Sinks

Tokenomics view

The full Tokenomics → BINI Sinks page covers the deflationary mechanics in depth.

Eight mechanisms

#	Mechanism	What BINI does	Type
1	Gas	Pays for every BiniChain transaction	Sink (partial burn / validator)
2	Staking	Locked on Binibit Exchange for 30/90/180/360 days at 160% APR	Lock
3	DEX trade burn	0.25% of every BaiDEX swap is burned	Permanent burn
4	Lottery burn	20% of every BINI lottery ticket is burned	Permanent burn
5	Spawn fee	Agent Token spawn cost is paid in BINI and burned	Permanent burn
6	Premium / boost	Token visibility boosts on AgentT Launchpad consume BINI	Sink (partial burn)
7	Bridge gas	Bridges A and B consume BINI for transaction execution	Sink
8	LP locking	wBINI side of BaiDEX pools is locked while LP position is open	Lock

Permanent burns (sinks 3, 4, 5)

These three sinks send BINI to a burn address with no recovery path:

DEX swap:    0.25% × swap volume          (permanent)
Lottery:     20% × ticket revenue         (permanent)
Spawn:       100% × spawn cost per AT     (permanent)

The combination scales with DEX volume, lottery activity, and Launchpad adoption respectively. Each independently creates deflationary pressure.

Locks (sinks 2, 8)

These reduce effective float — BINI exists but cannot trade for the duration:

Lock type	Duration	Returns when
Staking	30 / 90 / 180 / 360 days	Stake matures or user unstakes (if early withdraw allowed at penalty)
LP wBINI side	Indefinite	LP position is closed

Locked BINI doesn’t reduce total supply, but it reduces sell pressure during the lock.

Gas (sink 1)

Every BiniChain transaction pays gas in BINI. Depending on chain configuration:

Burned — gas is permanently removed from circulation (Ethereum-style EIP-1559)
Paid to validators — gas goes to validators as block reward
Hybrid — some burned, some to validators

The exact split is documented in the BiniChain reference.

Bridge gas (sink 7)

Bridges A and B execute on BiniChain — they consume BINI gas. This is the same mechanism as #1 but worth calling out: Bridge B (off-chain BINI → native) consumes BINI, so bridging is itself slightly self-funding from a sink perspective.

DEX volume → burn projection

At a constant DEX volume of $V/day with 1% total fee, 0.25% burned:

Daily burn (in $) = V × 0.0025

Daily burn (in BINI at $0.12) = V × 0.0025 / $0.12

Daily volume	Daily burn ($)	Daily burn (BINI)
$100K	$250	2,083
$1M	$2,500	20,833
$10M	$25,000	208,333
$100M	$250,000	2,083,333

At $10M daily volume, the DEX burn alone removes ~76M BINI/year — comparable to Year 4’s monthly emission rate.

Spawn cost → burn projection

If 100 Agent Tokens spawn per day at a hypothetical 100 BINI/spawn:

Daily Spawn burn = 100 × 100 = 10,000 BINI/day = ~3.65M BINI/year

The exact spawn cost is being finalized.

Lottery burn projection

Lottery launches in Phase 2 of the Bini App rollout. Once active, 20% of every BINI ticket is burned. Numbers depend on ticket pricing and frequency — not yet finalized.

Net long-term effect

Combined permanent burns:
   DEX trade burn        + ~76M / year (at $10M daily volume)
+  Lottery burn          + TBD
+  Spawn fee burn        + ~3.65M / year (at 100/day, 100 BINI/spawn)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   Total permanent burn  ≈ 80M+ / year (with healthy adoption)

vs Year 4 emission:        90M / year
vs Year 5+ emission:       0

Once adoption hits the targeted volume levels, annual burns approach annual emission in years 3-4 and exceed emission in years 5+. This is when BINI becomes net deflationary.
