APRO Tokenomics: Designed for Long-Term Alignment
Analyzing the $AT token economy reveals a structure built for sustainability rather than a pump-and-dump. With a total supply of 1 billion and a current circulating supply of roughly 230 million (23%), scarcity is managed carefully.
The utility is threefold:
Staking: Node operators must stake $AT. This isn't just for yield; it's a security bond. Bad data means lost tokens.
Payment: Applications pay for data requests in $AT, creating constant organic buy pressure as the network scales.
Governance: Holders vote on parameters.
What stands out to me is the 2-year vesting and release schedule that aligns the team and investors with the community. The "Binance HODLer" allocation of 2% also ensured a wide distribution to committed users rather than mercenary farmers. When usage goes up, the demand for the token rises mechanically, not just speculatively.
