$VADER

VADER Utility

$VADER is the native utility token of the Vader ecosystem - serving as the medium of exchange, reward currency, and value anchor for the network’s human-to-robot data economy.

Core Utilities

1. Medium of Exchange in EgoPlay

$VADER acts as the in-app currency for all EgoPlay activities.

• Used to purchase Energy Packs, Boosters, and other consumables.

• All $VADER spent inside the platform is permanently burnt, introducing a deflationary mechanism that ties user growth to token scarcity.

• Ensures that value flow within EgoPlay reflects genuine human contribution rather than speculation.

2. Reward Currency for Contribution

$VADER underpins the reward economy that incentivizes real-world participation.

• Users earn $VADER indirectly through the Vader Points → Chest → Ticket → $VADER cycle.

• This structure ensures that every token distributed represents verifiable data generation or annotation effort - reinforcing long-term ecosystem integrity.

3. Node Validation

Running Orn Light Nodes - lightweight compute nodes that help process, validate, or route data - requires holding $VADER.

• This aligns compute operators with network reliability and data quality.

• As the system scales, node participation creates a real demand sink for $VADER tied directly to infrastructure throughput.

• Validators earn $VADER for sustaining the ecosystem’s autonomous validation network.

4. Buybacks from Data Revenue

As Vader’s datasets are licensed or sold to robotics companies, simulation providers, and AI research partners, a portion of the protocol’s data revenue may be allocated toward automated token buybacks or burns.

This mechanism is designed to balance long-term token circulation with real network activity, maintaining healthy liquidity and sustainable token dynamics as the ecosystem grows. These operations are fully discretionary and serve as a protocol-level stabilization mechanism.

Long-Term Vision

$VADER is designed to be the economic backbone for physical AI - bridging human experience, machine learning, and capital coordination. By tying the token’s value to actual data generation, node operation, and network revenue, Vader establishes a sustainable foundation for the world’s first large-scale human-to-robot data network - where every task completed, every frame labeled, and every dataset sold strengthens both the AI models and the ecosystem behind them.
