Token Design

$HAN is the native utility token of Humanoid Network. It aligns incentives across contributors, data consumers, validators, and governance participants.

Quest Rewards	Contributors earn $HAN for validated data submissions
Staking (veHAN)	Lock $HAN to boost rewards and earn governance rights
Data Access	Robotics companies pay $HAN to access curated datasets

Token Allocation

The $HAN token supply is distributed across key stakeholder groups with vesting schedules aligned to long-term network health.

Info

For detailed allocation percentages, vesting schedules, and emission curves, see the Whitepaper.

Emission Schedule

$HAN uses a programmatic emission schedule that decreases over time, ensuring: - Early contributors are well-compensated for bootstrapping the network - Long-term supply is predictable and deflationary in tendency - Protocol sustainability through reserved treasury allocation

Value Accrual

The $HAN token captures value through: 1. Data licensing fees: Revenue from robotics companies accessing datasets 2. Protocol fees: Small fee on quest completions and data transactions 3. Buy-and-burn: Portion of protocol revenue used to reduce circulating supply
