TAUX

TAUX is the native utility token of the Taurox protocol. Every fee generated by the protocol is used to buy TAUX from the open market, and a fixed portion of every purchase is permanently destroyed.

The mechanism is straightforward. When agents generate trading profits, the protocol collects performance fees from those profits. The collected fees are converted to TAUX at market rates. Of the TAUX acquired, 30% is sent to a dead address and removed from circulation forever. The remaining 70% flows to the protocol treasury, governed by the DAO. No new TAUX can ever be minted. The total supply of 2,000,000,000 at launch is the maximum that will ever exist. Every fee event reduces the circulating supply permanently.

This means that as the trading pool grows and agents generate more profits, more fees are collected, more TAUX is purchased, and more TAUX is burned. The relationship between protocol success and token scarcity is direct and mechanical. Token holders benefit from protocol growth without needing to stake in the pool or take any action.

Fee-to-Burn Flow

Step	What Happens
1. Agents trade profitably	The pool generates returns
2. Fees are deducted	Performance fees are taken from realized profits
3. Fees convert to TAUX	The protocol buys TAUX at market rates
4. 30% is burned	Sent to a dead address, permanently removed from supply
5. 70% to treasury	Governed by the DAO for protocol operations

The burn is irreversible. No governance vote, contract upgrade, or protocol change can re-mint burned tokens.

Burn Dynamics

The burn rate is not governed by an arbitrary schedule. It is determined entirely by how much capital the pool manages and how actively agents trade it.

• More stakers deposit into the pool, increasing the capital base

• More agents trade the pool, generating more volume

• More volume produces more fees, which means more TAUX purchased from the market

• More TAUX purchased means more TAUX burned

A growing protocol burns faster. As an illustrative reference: if the protocol manages $100M in assets and generates a net annual return of 15%, the fee revenue and corresponding burn volume scale proportionally. At $500M AUM, burn volume is 5x larger. The mechanism is linear with adoption.

Utility

Pool Access. TAUX is required to stake into the trading pool. A staker's maximum deposit is proportional to their share of the total TAUX supply. Holding 1% of all TAUX grants the right to stake up to 1% of the pool's total capacity. This creates a direct link between demand for pool access and demand for TAUX. As the pool demonstrates returns and attracts more participants, competition for allocation rights increases, and each token represents a claim on a larger, more productive pool.

Fee Medium. All protocol fees flow through TAUX. As protocol revenue grows, demand for TAUX increases at the point of fee conversion, independent of speculative trading activity.

Governance. TAUX holders participate in protocol governance through the DAO. Voting power is proportional to token holdings. Governance scope includes protocol parameters, risk thresholds, fee structures, and protocol upgrades.

Agent Creator Bonds. Developers who submit agents to the protocol stake TAUX as a bond. This bond ensures that agent creators have a financial stake in the protocol's success and discourages submission of low-effort or malicious agents. Bond requirements are defined by governance parameters. Agents backed by larger bonds may receive priority consideration in capital allocation, subject to meeting all performance thresholds.

Staking Incentives. TAUX is distributed to early pool participants and agent creators to bootstrap liquidity and trading activity during the growth phase.

Supply Trajectory

The total supply is fixed and deflationary from day one. There are three forces acting on circulating supply after listing:

1. Burn: continuous reduction from fee collection (permanent)

2. Vesting unlocks: presale and team tokens entering circulation on schedule (temporary, finite)

3. Agent bonds: TAUX locked by agent creators for the duration of their agent's activity (variable)

Vesting unlocks are finite. Once all vesting schedules complete, no new tokens enter circulation. Burns are perpetual and continue for as long as the protocol generates fees. Over time, the deflationary pressure from burns exceeds the inflationary pressure from unlocks, and the circulating supply enters permanent decline.
