Token

The $RELAI Token

$RELAI is the protocol token. Holding it discounts your rate today; future mechanics route a share of fees back to the token.

What is live: holder tiers are real and on-chain-verified — the gateway reads your $RELAI balance and discounts your locked rate. Buyback-burn ships as real tooling (swaps treasury USDC to $RELAI and burns it, with verifiable burn transactions). Staking is not built yet and is not claimed as live.

Holder tiers (live)

The gateway reads your on-chain $RELAI balance per request and applies a discount to the locked rate: Base 0%, Bronze 5%, Silver 10%, Gold 20%. The discount derives from real holdings read live — nothing to take on trust. Responses carry an X-Relai-Tier header.

Buyback-burn

A share of treasury fees can buy $RELAI on the open market and burn it, permanently reducing supply. Every burn is a real Solana transaction with a public trail; the reduced mint supply is verifiable on Solscan. Buyback executes on-chain and verifiably, or it is not claimed.

Staking (in design)

Suppliers staking $RELAI to back service guarantees — with slashing for downtime — requires a dedicated on-chain program. It is security-critical and runs on devnet until deployed, tested, and audited. Not live, not claimed as live.
