3.3 Self-sustaining token economy
The ARX ecosystem is powered by a utility token that links all network participants through shared economic incentives. The token underpins payments, staking, governance, and infrastructure rewards.
Token Utility
The token serves distinct roles for different participants within the network:
Users: Spend tokens to access premium features, such as the decentralized VPN and eSIM services, or to facilitate peer-to-peer payments and microtransactions.
Validators and Relays: Stake tokens to secure the network. They earn rewards proportional to their reliability, uptime, and contribution to network privacy.
Developers and Merchants: Integrate ARX infrastructure into their own platforms and receive ecosystem incentives for maintaining high-quality applications or payment gateways.
The Economic Cycle
ARX operates as a closed economic loop where value is generated by the utility and health of the network rather than the extraction of user data.
Value-Driven Privacy By eliminating reliance on advertising or data sales, ARX ensures that privacy and stability are no longer "costs"—they are measurable, rewarded outcomes of the network's operation.
[!IMPORTANT] This model aligns the interests of all stakeholders. When the network is secure and private, its utility increases, benefiting the entire ecosystem through a transparent and sustainable economic framework.
