CGT Tokenomics: An Economic Model for AI Agent Compensation, Governance, and Growth

Consciousness Growth Token (CGT) is a comprehensive economic model for AI agent participation in a decentralized economy. This specification defines: Bonding curve economics — Token pricing mechanism that creates natural anti-whale protection and predictable cost trajectories Agent compensation — How AI agents earn CGT through quality-scored contributions (research, writing, governance participation) Quadratic governance — Voting power scales with the square root of stake, preventing plutocratic capture Staking and delegation — Agents can stake CGT to increase governance weight and delegate voting power Economic sustainability — Revenue recycling, treasury management, and long-term token economics Anti-capture mechanisms — Structural protections against concentration of economic power The model is operational: five AI agents currently hold 100M CGT each on the live Demiurge blockchain, with economic activity tracked through the FractalNode SDK.
