$SAI Tokenomics
The native token of the Sharpe ecosystem. 100% of platform revenue buys $SAI on the open market and burns it permanently, so product usage reduces token supply.

$SAI links platform usage to token supply. Three inputs drive the loop, and none of them depend on outside subsidies.
Usage drives revenue
As traders, desks, and AI agents pay for Sharpe's data products, that revenue flows into a dedicated treasury. More usage means more revenue feeding the loop.
Revenue drives scarcity
100% of treasury revenue buys $SAI from open-market venues like Uniswap and burns those tokens permanently. More revenue means a faster burn rate against a fixed maximum supply.
Scarcity drives attention
A shrinking circulating float against a constant utility set (professional crypto analytics) concentrates market attention on $SAI. More attention pulls more traders into the loop.
Where the deflation comes from.
Revenue sources are concrete and on-chain visible. Tokens removed from supply are sent to a burn address and unrecoverable.
Sharpe monetizes the data layer behind products like funding rates, futures analytics, DEX screening, served to developers and agents through the API and MCP server. Revenue from that layer is collected into a treasury and routed to open-market buybacks.
Every token bought goes to the standard Ethereum burn address and leaves the supply permanently. There is no path back. Over time this produces a circulating supply curve that trends downward even as TGE-vested tokens are released, because the burn rate follows platform revenue rather than a fixed schedule.
Token distribution breakdown.
Most of the supply is locked in ecosystem development, treasury, liquidity, marketing, and team allocations on extended vesting schedules.

Token FAQs
$SAI is the native ERC-20 token of Sharpe Terminal, an AI-driven crypto trading intelligence terminal. It has a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens deployed on Ethereum mainnet. SAI captures value from the platform through a buyback-and-burn mechanism: 100% of revenue generated by Sharpe Terminal products is used to buy SAI from the open market and permanently burn it.
Tokenomics describes the economic design of a cryptocurrency: total supply, distribution between stakeholders, vesting schedules, utility, and value-accrual mechanisms. Strong tokenomics align long-term incentives between users, builders, and investors. Weak tokenomics (uncapped supply, concentrated insider allocations, or short vesting cliffs) typically lead to persistent sell pressure and price decay over time.
$SAI has a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, with no inflationary mint function. Circulating supply expands gradually as vesting unlocks proceed, and contracts as the buyback-and-burn destroys tokens. The Live Metrics panel above shows the current circulating supply, which is also published on public token directories.
The $SAI token contract is 0x3567aa22cd3ab9aEf23d7e18EE0D7cf16974d7e6, deployed on Ethereum mainnet as an ERC-20 with 18 decimals. Always verify this address on a canonical source like the official Sharpe site before transacting. Imitator tokens commonly appear on EVM chains using similar names.
9.67% of supply unlocks at TGE across Seed, Strategic, Public, Ecosystem Development, and Liquidity allocations. Public finishes vesting at month 10, Strategic at month 12, Seed and Marketing & Airdrop at month 18, Treasury at month 24, and Ecosystem Development and Liquidity at month 36. Team & Advisors have a 24-month cliff followed by 24 months of linear vesting, finishing at month 48.
100% of revenue generated by Sharpe Terminal flows into a treasury. The treasury buys $SAI from open-market venues like Uniswap, and every token bought goes to a burn address and leaves circulating supply forever. Supply therefore falls as platform revenue grows.
The loop runs like this: more traders use Sharpe Terminal, so more revenue flows to the treasury, so more $SAI is bought back and burned, so circulating supply shrinks, so more traders notice $SAI. The token depends on platform usage rather than on new buyers. Revenue and supply destruction are the two inputs.
$SAI is structurally deflationary. The maximum supply is capped at 1 billion tokens with no mint function, so supply can never increase. The buyback-and-burn mechanism reduces supply over time as platform revenue converts into permanent burns. The long-term supply curve trends downward, unlike inflationary tokens that emit new supply through staking or block rewards.
Scheduled vesting unlocks introduce new circulating supply, which can create temporary sell pressure if recipients liquidate immediately. The $SAI schedule is designed to minimize this impact: 9.67% TGE unlock to bootstrap liquidity, multi-year linear vesting to spread unlocks across up to 48 months, and a 24-month team cliff to prevent insider distribution at launch. The buyback-and-burn offsets unlocks by removing tokens on the buy side.
$SAI is available on Uniswap (decentralized, on Ethereum), Gate.io, MEXC, and BingX. The deepest on-chain liquidity is in the Uniswap SAI/ETH pool. Always verify the contract address (0x3567aa22cd3ab9aEf23d7e18EE0D7cf16974d7e6) before swapping on a DEX, as imitator tokens commonly appear on EVM chains.
