Tokenomics

The AskJimmy Economy

$ASK is the native token of AskJimmy, designed to align incentives across Strategy Creators, Investors, Community Contributors, and Stakers. By fostering a self-reinforcing cycle of value creation, $ASK ensures long-term adoption, network growth, and sustainable economic incentives for all participants.

Beyond functioning as a simple utility token, $ASK plays a critical role in governance, incentivization, and protocol revenue distribution, while also being integral to buyback & burn mechanisms that maintain a deflationary model over time.

1. Strategy Creators - Fueling the Alpha Economy

At the heart of AskJimmy lies The Library, where Strategy Creators contribute their trading expertise to build an ever-expanding repository of profitable strategies. The more successful and widely used these strategies become, the greater the incentives for creators, forming a positive flywheel effect that strengthens the ecosystem.

Strategy Creators are rewarded through two key mechanisms:

1. Performance Fees

   • Earn 80% of the performance fees generated by capital deployed into their strategies.

   • Rewards are directly proportional to AUM and strategy success, ensuring alignment between profitability and incentives.

2. $ASK Incentives

   • Each epoch (28 days), $ASK incentives are distributed proportionally to strategy creators based on their contribution to protocol revenue.

   • To maintain sustainable token dynamics, emissions are capped if they exceed revenue to prevent excessive selling pressure.

The more profitable The Library’s strategies, the more agents and traders integrate them, increasing TVL and protocol revenue. This, in turn, incentivizes more creators to contribute alpha, reinforcing continuous growth and innovation.

2. Investors - Capitalizing on AI-Driven Signals

Investors—both human traders and AI agents—are the primary users of AskJimmy’s strategies. Their success is directly tied to the platform’s ability to offer high-performing, low-effort trading opportunities.

Investors can choose to:

• Deposit into The Trading Floor, benefiting from prebuilt, managed strategies.

• Customize their own trading setup, selecting and combining strategies tailored to their goals.

Incentives

In the first six epochs, investors are incentivized to deposit into strategies, helping bootstrap platform liquidity. After six epochs, LP emissions will be reassessed to transition towards long-term sustainability.

$ASK Incentives are proportional to TVL, ensuring fair distribution among active liquidity providers.

Fee Structure

To sustain the protocol, investors pay the following fees:

• Performance Fees = 20%

• Management Fees = 1%

• Transaction Fees = 0.01%

3. Community Contributions - Decentralized innovation

AskJimmy is built around a community-driven approach, allowing contributors to actively shape its evolution through research, development, and innovation.

Bounty System

• Technical tasks & challenges will be published, allowing community members to contribute and improve the protocol.

• Contributors are rewarded in $ASK, with payouts determined by task complexity and impact.

By involving the community in platform improvements, AskJimmy ensures continuous innovation and organic ecosystem growth.

4. Stakers

$ASK Stakers enjoy both passive rewards and premium benefits, including:

• Incentives: Earn additional $ASK from staking pools.

• Platform Revenue Sharing: A portion of protocol revenue is shared with stakers.

  • 50% Volume rebates.

  • 25% Transaction fees.

• Exclusive Strategy Access: Early access to premium trading strategies.
