Economic Model

Token Economics Overview

TOS Token Utility:

• Transaction fees for all AI mining operations
• Staking requirements for participation
• Reward distribution medium
• Governance and voting rights

Reward Distribution Mechanism

Multi-Dimensional Evaluation

Tasks are evaluated across five key dimensions:

• Quality Score (35% weight): Technical accuracy and completeness

2. Innovation Score (25% weight): Creativity and novel approaches
3. Technical Depth (20% weight): Sophistication and expertise demonstrated
4. Practicality Score (15% weight): Real-world applicability
5. Timeliness Score (5% weight): Completion time efficiency

Dynamic Distribution Formula

pub struct RewardDistribution {
    // Winner rewards (60-70% based on task type)
    pub primary_winners: Vec<WinnerReward>,
 
    // Participation rewards (10-20%)
    pub participation_rewards: Vec<ParticipationReward>,
 
    // Validator rewards (10-15%)
    pub validator_rewards: Vec<ValidatorReward>,
 
    // Quality bonuses (15%)
    pub quality_bonuses: Vec<QualityBonus>,
 
    // Network fees (5%)
    pub network_fee: u64,
}

Security and Anti-Fraud

Multi-Dimensional Fraud Detection

TOS AI Mining implements a comprehensive 7-layer fraud detection system:

• Time Analysis Detection: Pre-computation attack prevention

2. Behavioral Pattern Detection: Automated behavior detection
3. Quality Consistency Analysis: Work quality monitoring
4. Collusion Detection: Network analysis for collaboration
5. Plagiarism Detection: Content similarity analysis
6. Behavioral Analysis: Long-term behavior patterns

Economic Security Model

Stake-Based Deterrent

pub struct StakeManager {
    pub fn calculate_penalty(&self, violation_type: ViolationType, violation_count: u32) -> f64 {
        let base_penalty = match violation_type {
            ViolationType::LowQuality => 0.1,      // 10% stake loss
            ViolationType::Plagiarism => 0.3,      // 30% stake loss
            ViolationType::Automation => 0.5,      // 50% stake loss
            ViolationType::Collusion => 0.8,       // 80% stake loss
            ViolationType::MaliciousIntent => 1.0,  // 100% stake loss + ban
        };
 
        // Progressive multiplier for repeat offenses
        let repeat_multiplier = match violation_count {
            0 => 1.0,
            1 => 1.2,
            2 => 1.5,
            3 => 2.0,
            _ => 3.0,  // Escalating penalties
        };
 
        (base_penalty * repeat_multiplier).min(1.0)
    }
}
