8. Token Utility ($OSIRAI)

The $OSIR token serves as the native asset of the Osirium ecosystem. Its function is not speculative — it is used to control access, regulate usage, and govern the protocol’s evolution.

🔸 Access Control

Certain features and endpoints of the MCP node may be restricted to token holders. Examples include:

• Advanced inference modules

• On-chain execution triggers

• Access to AI deployment functions

🔸 Rate Limiting & Priority

The token can be used to unlock higher usage tiers:

• API request quotas

• Prompt execution speed

• Priority access to Claude or other LLMs

🔸 Governance

Holders may participate in future governance decisions such as:

• Allowlisting MCP operators

• Model upgrades or inference routing

• Budget allocation for development or audits

🔸 Operator Staking

To run a public-facing MCP node, operators may be required to stake $OSIR. This ensures accountability and penalizes malicious behavior.

🔸 Agent Funding & Incentives

$OSIRAI may also be used to reward AI agents or developers who contribute inference scripts, prompt packs, or new functionalities to the protocol. $OSIRAI is not a meme, nor a placeholder. It is a permission primitive — powering access, execution, and evolution across the Osirium stack.
