AMAX Token
AMAX is the governance and coordination token of the StarMiner network. While AGPU powers the execution and exchange of computational resources, AMAX determines how the network evolves, how its resources are allocated, and how capital flows are managed over time.
In decentralized infrastructure protocols, effective governance is just as critical as throughput. AMAX ensures that policy, funding, and protocol rules remain in the hands of the community not centralized actors or opaque committees.
Primary Functions
Governance Participation
AMAX holders can propose, support, and vote on network-level decisions such as:
Protocol upgrades
Economic policy (e.g., reward rates, emissions schedules)
Treasury spending and grant approvals
Validator and node onboarding standards
All votes are conducted on-chain through a token-weighted governance module.
Protocol Coordination
AMAX serves as the stake and security bond for:
Validator node registration
Oracle trust rating and slashing protection
Treasury council eligibility and audit permissions
The token helps align incentives for long-term actors who contribute to the stability and correctness of the system.
Economic Utility
AMAX may be used to:
Unlock enhanced staking multipliers
Gain access to private node networks or exclusive task types
Delegate to Validator Nodes and earn a share of governance rewards
Supply and Distribution
AMAX has a governance-controlled issuance model, with no inflation beyond what is required to:
Incentivize validator performance
Fund public goods within the ecosystem
Support governance participation from long-term community members
Allocation Overview
35%: Governance Treasury (DAO-controlled)
20%: Validator Rewards & Security Pool
15%: Developer Ecosystem and Strategic Grants
15%: Team and Core Contributors (vesting)
15%: Institutional and DAO Partnerships
All emissions and unlocks are transparently visible on-chain, subject to time-locks and multi-sig controls.
Safeguards and Anti-Whale Mechanics
To ensure AMAX represents governance quality not just capital concentration the protocol supports:
Quadratic voting modules for key proposals
Delegate reputation scoring to track voting activity and slashing records
Proposal submission thresholds to prevent spam governance
In future releases, the protocol may support Reputation-Weighted Governance (RWG) where AMAX AI holders earn influence based not just on quantity staked, but contribution history, uptime, and past voting alignment with successful protocol outcomes.
AMAX AI vs. AGPU
Primary Role
Governance & Coordination
Access to GPU Compute
Token Emission
Proposal-driven & vested
Task-based, utility-tied
Use Cases
Voting, Staking, Treasury
Payments, Job Execution
Holder Incentives
Governance rewards, delegation
Compute income, staking yield
Stake Risk
Slashing for bad behavior
Burned via task settlement
Together, they ensure StarMiner operates as a self-sustaining, self-governing compute economy.
Summary
AMAX is the coordination layer of StarMiner ensuring that infrastructure decisions, treasury flows, and long-term governance remain in the hands of the network's contributors. It empowers the community to shape how decentralized compute evolves, while aligning decision-making power with performance, participation, and long-term commitment.
As AGPU powers the grid, AMAX AI steers its direction.
