# Long-Term Sustainability

Orby AI’s architecture is designed not just for performance — but for durability. To ensure long-term alignment between compute contributors, RWA stakeholders, and governance participants, the protocol implements **automated treasury allocations**, **incentive reserves**, and **dynamic pricing mechanisms**.

***

**💰 Treasury Allocation**

A portion of every inference payment is redirected to the **Orby AI Treasury** smart contract.

**Default Allocation:**

* **5% of every inference fee** (in $ORBY or stablecoins)
* Collected and governed on-chain

**Treasury Use Cases:**

| Category                | Description                                                     |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Developer Grants**    | Funding for zk-model builders, RWA integration tools, AI agents |
| **Security Bounties**   | Rewards for discovering vulnerabilities in verifier contracts   |
| **Liquidity Provision** | Providing depth on DEXs (Uniswap, Balancer) for $ORBY pairs     |
| **DAO Incentives**      | Bootstrap capital for communities managing tokenized agents     |

**⚙️ Dynamic Pricing Engine (Planned)**

Orby AI integrates a pricing oracle + policy layer to adapt to market conditions and network demand:

**Mechanisms:**

| Strategy                        | Behavior                                                           |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Gas-Aware Inference Pricing** | Adjusts inference cost based on L1/L2 congestion                   |
| **Model Demand Scaling**        | Heavily used models increase in cost over time                     |
| **Introductory Discounts**      | New or low-usage models receive lower base rates                   |
| **Subscription Tiers**          | Users can lock $ORBY for discounted bulk access or RWA model slots |

***

**🌍 RWA Relevance:**

* **Predictable Yield Flows:** Dynamic pricing smooths volatility in revenue forecasts for tokenized models.
* **Treasury-Backed Stability:** A portion of protocol income can be routed to collateralize RWAs or maintain floor pricing.
* **Governable Allocations:** RWA token holders can vote on how treasury funds impact model ecosystem or agent upgrades.

> Sustainability is not a static parameter — it’s a programmable feedback loop between performance, pricing, and economic flow.
