Tokenomics

A token built on real demand.

$CRUSH is the native asset of the Crush network. Earned by contributors, bought by data purchasers, and structurally deflationary by design.

Burn-and-Mint

The economic engine

Every dollar of data revenue removes $CRUSH from supply and rewards the people who created the data.

On top of regular emissions

More AI agents buying data means more $CRUSH bought, more burned, and more redistributed to contributors — a self-reinforcing loop tied to real demand.

Emission

Rewards scale with the network — then naturally taper.

New $CRUSH is emitted every three days, sized to total network activity. But emissions grow sub-linearly — doubling contributions doesn't double rewards.

Early contributors earn the most per submission. As participation grows, per-user emission rewards taper, while the burn-and-mint flywheel becomes the dominant source of contributor income.

Utility

What $CRUSH is for

A single asset that powers four sides of the same loop.

Earn it

Users earn $CRUSH for submitting receipts and linking transactions.

Spend it

Buyers purchase data with USDC; the protocol acquires $CRUSH on the market.

Burn fuels it

75% of every data purchase is burned forever, shrinking total supply.

Trade it

Freely tradable on Solana DEXs. Hold, trade, or cash out anytime.

Supply over time

Inflationary early, deflationary at scale

In the early phase, emissions outpace burns to bootstrap contributors. As data demand grows, burns cross over emissions — and supply starts contracting.

Conceptual illustration. The 1B max supply is a hard cap — burned tokens are removed permanently and can never be re-minted.
