The $AUTO Token

$AUTO is the protocol token that collateralizes futures, backs provider SLAs, and accrues value from network revenue.

Futures collateral

Want to lock in GPU capacity at today's price for next month? You post $AUTO as margin. Every open position = $AUTO locked off market. More AI builders = more positions = more $AUTO absorbed.

Verifier staking

Compute suppliers stake $AUTO to guarantee their SLA. Go offline mid-contract → get slashed. Stay online → earn a cut of every settlement in USDC. Slashing risk keeps supply locked longer than pure yield staking.

Buyback & burn

100% of futures settlement fees → treasury. Half burns $AUTO on the open market. Half goes to stakers in USDC. Track live burn and stake totals on the treasury page.
