Vana unveils Vega tokenomics: 60% of fees to staking, 20% to buyback and burn
- —Data reads cost $0.01 per query, paid in USDC
- —Of each $1 in fees: 57 cents to stakers, 3 cents to operators, 20 cents to buyback and burn, 20 cents to the fund
- —Staking is delegated to operators with a 5-day bonding period, 31 validators and a 35,000 VANA minimum
- —Offsetting annual issuance of 440,700 VANA would require roughly 220 million queries a year at $1 per token
Why it matters: The model ties VANA demand to actual data usage rather than emissions: rising query volume reduces the token's net supply.
