OZMIUM TOKEN TOKENOMICS
OVERVIEW
$OZM powers the Ozmium network — the infrastructure layer that attests, validates, calculates entitlements for, and settles real-world asset cashflows across Canton Network. $OZM aligns the incentives of regulated attestors, institutional partners, validators, and ecosystem builders around the accuracy, speed, and integrity of programmable cashflow settlement.

TOKEN UTILITY
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Settlement & Fee Payment | $OZM is used to pay network fees for cashflow attestation, entitlement calculation, and settlement execution. Fee discounts scale with $OZM staked or held. |
| Attestor & Validator Bonding | Regulated attestors (property managers, servicers, custodians) and node validators post $OZM as a bonded stake, creating economic accountability for attestation accuracy. |
| Governance | $OZM holders vote on protocol parameters: fee schedules, entitlement calculation logic upgrades, new asset-class onboarding, and treasury allocation. |
| Institutional Access Tiering | Staking $OZM unlocks tiered access to the Ozmium institutional dashboard, API rate limits, and advanced reporting/compliance tooling. |
| Cashflow Guarantee Pool | A portion of staked $OZM collateralizes an insurance backstop pool that covers settlement disputes or attestation failures. |
| Ecosystem Incentives | Rewards for validators, integrators, and Founding Partners who extend the network (new attestor integrations, new asset classes, liquidity). |

Vesting Philosophy
Alignment over liquidity: Team, advisor, and Founding Partner allocations are the longest-vesting categories, reflecting Ozmium’s institutional-infrastructure positioning rather than a short-term speculative launch.
- Milestone-gated partner unlocks: Founding Partners Program tokens unlock against integration and volume milestones (e.g., live attestor onboarding, cashflow volume thresholds), not time alone.
- No team unlocks before network utility exists: The 1-year cliff on team/advisor tokens ensures no team liquidity prior to mainnet cashflow settlement being live.
eMission Schedule
Staking and validator/attestor rewards are emitted on a decreasing schedule over 6 years to front-load network security and attestor participation while tapering long-term inflationary pressure — total rewards supply is fixed and drawn entirely from the 7% allocation (no new minting).
Note: This tokenomics structure is a working draft intended for review by legal, tax, and financial advisors prior to publication, particularly with respect to MiCA/CASP classification (France/EU) and SAFT terms under the Delaware entity. Figures (supply, percentages, vesting periods) should be finalized in coordination with counsel and reflected consistently in the SAFT agreement itself before being presented to prospective purchasers.
