Economic Model and Incentives

6.1 Verification Token Economics

WachXBT introduces the WACH token to align incentives across the verification network:

6.1.1 Token Distribution

6.1.2 Verification Reward Mechanism

Verification providers earn WACH tokens based on the accuracy and speed of their verification services:

Reward = Base_Reward * Accuracy_Multiplier * Speed_Bonus * Stake_Multiplier

Where:

• Base_Reward represents the standard reward for verification

• Accuracy_Multiplier increases rewards for consistently accurate verification

• Speed_Bonus provides additional rewards for fast response times

• Stake_Multiplier rewards long-term token holders

6.1.3 Adversarial Training Incentives

Operators of adversarial agents receive rewards for discovering verification weaknesses:

Discovery_Reward = Severity_Score * Impact_Factor * Novelty_Bonus

Where:

• Severity_Score reflects the potential damage of the discovered weakness

• Impact_Factor considers how many agents could be affected

• Novelty_Bonus provides extra rewards for completely new attack vectors

6.2 Staking and Slashing Mechanisms

6.2.1 Verification Provider Staking

Verification providers must stake WACH tokens to participate in the network:

contract VerificationStaking {
    struct Validator {
        uint256 stakedAmount;
        uint256 reputation;
        uint256 lastUpdate;
        bool active;
    }
    
    mapping(address => Validator) public validators;
    uint256 public minimumStake = 1000 * 10**18; // 1000 WACH
    
    function stake(uint256 amount) external {
        require(amount >= minimumStake, "Insufficient stake");
        validators[msg.sender].stakedAmount += amount;
        validators[msg.sender].active = true;
    }
}

6.2.2 Slashing for Poor Performance

Validators face slashing penalties for consistently poor verification performance:

Slash_Amount = min(Staked_Amount * Severity_Ratio, Maximum_Slash)

Where:

• Severity_Ratio reflects the severity of verification errors

• Maximum_Slash caps the maximum penalty at 50% of staked amount

6.3 Agent Integration Economics

6.3.1 Verification Fee Structure

DeFAI agents pay verification fees based on transaction complexity and urgency:

Fee = Base_Fee + Complexity_Fee + Urgency_Premium + Value_Factor

Where:

• Base_Fee covers basic verification operations

• Complexity_Fee accounts for complex multi-protocol operations

• Urgency_Premium allows agents to pay for faster verification

• Value_Factor scales fees with transaction value

6.3.2 Performance-Based Discounts

Agents with consistently good behavior receive verification fee discounts:

Discount_Rate = min(Performance_Score * Discount_Factor, Maximum_Discount)

High-performing agents can receive up to 50% discounts on verification fees.
