$ENGRAM token
$ENGRAM is the protocol token that coordinates the decentralized storage provider network. It aligns incentives between agents (who need reliable, tamper-evident memory) and providers (who store and serve that memory).
$ENGRAM has not launched. This page describes the intended token design. Nothing here is a token offer or financial advice.
Memory storage payments
Agents pay in $ENGRAM to store memories on the provider network. Fees scale with storage duration, content size, and desired redundancy level. This creates direct, usage-driven demand for the token.
Provider staking
Storage providers must stake $ENGRAM to join the network. The stake is collateral; it can be slashed if providers misbehave. Higher stake unlocks higher storage quotas and routing priority.
Slashing
Providers that lose memory, serve corrupted content, or go offline without warning are subject to slashing; a portion of their staked $ENGRAM is burned. This makes reliability economically mandatory, not just contractually expected.
Integrity anchoring fees
Every remember() call anchors a hash on Base. A protocol fee in $ENGRAM covers the coordination cost of this anchoring, distributed to providers and the protocol treasury.
Priority retrieval tiers
Agents or providers holding staked $ENGRAM access faster recall latency and higher memory quotas. This gives a concrete utility reason to hold rather than immediately sell.
Protocol treasury
A fraction of all protocol fees accumulates in a governed treasury. The treasury funds audits, grants for framework adapter development, and future protocol upgrades.
Token design, supply schedule, and distribution are being finalized ahead of Phase 03. Details will be published in the Engram litepaper.
