1. Utility
TIP currently provides standard ERC-20 functions. Utility linked to the service will open in stages.2. Rewards: a share for the people who use Ti
The Ecosystem allocation, 40% of TIP’s total supply, goes to the people who use and grow Ti. Missions & Rewards currently pays rewards in USDC and USDT (Chapter 9). Once TIP is listed, part of these rewards will be paid in TIP. As a principle, rewards go to activity tied to using the service. Check-ins and missions reward steady use, invites reward bringing in new users, and community programs reward content and feedback. Rewards can be paid only within the release schedule of the Ecosystem vesting contract. The Ecosystem allocation releases nothing for the first 3 months after TGE. From month 4, it releases the same amount every month over 48 months (1/48 of the total, about 8.33 million TIP), so the structure itself prevents the reward budget from reaching the market all at once. Reward rules and budgets are published in advance for each program.3. Holder benefits
Ti plans to give TIP holders benefits that make Ti easier to use: a higher daily Ti AI question limit, fee benefits on swaps and in Gasless mode, and early access to new features. The benefit tier will be set by the TIP balance of the signed-in wallet, and holders will not need to lock or deposit their tokens. To stop users from buying TIP only around the reference time that sets tiers, collecting the benefits and then selling, Ti is considering using the average balance over a set period. The tier criteria and the benefits themselves will be published before launch.4. Protocol fee and buyback and burn
Ti’s quotes currently carry no separate protocol fee. The costs a user pays are the shares taken by external protocols and blockchains, such as pool fees, bridge fees and network fees. In Gasless mode, a fee is added to settle the network fee that the relayer paid on the user’s behalf. Quotes show these costs as they are. Once the service is established, Ti may introduce a protocol fee. If it does, it will follow these principles.1
Set through governance
The introduction, rate, cap and use of the fee are decided through the process in Chapter 13 and published before they take effect.

Shown separately in the quote
The protocol fee is not mixed with other costs. It appears as a separate line in the quote and is fully reflected in the comparison of amounts received.

Part of the revenue always goes to buyback and burn
The rest is assigned to the ecosystem fund and operations, and governance sets the allocation ratio.

Buybacks and burns are recorded
The Governance Safe buys TIP on the open market and destroys the purchased TIP with the burn function. A burn reduces
totalSupply(), so anyone can verify the result, and the hashes of the purchase and burn transactions are published regularly.5. Value cycle

Figure 28. TIP’s value cycle starts from real use of the service; links tagged “Planned” are not live yet.
Drawn as a single cycle, TIP’s utility looks like this. Users use Ti through swaps, Ti AI and missions. As usage builds up, protocol fees arise (planned). Part of them reduces TIP supply through buyback and burn, and another part goes into the ecosystem fund. The ecosystem fund and the Ecosystem allocation fund missions and rewards, which bring users back. TIP holders receive benefits and, through governance, decide how fees and the fund are used. No link in this cycle promises holders interest or dividends. What drives the cycle is real use of the service.
