Total Supply	1,000,000,000 STRM

Token Utility¶

1. Query Payments¶

Users pay for queries with STRM (or SOL/USDC with auto-conversion):

// Query with STRM
streamsync query account <PUBKEY> --pay-with strm

// Query with SOL (auto-converts)
streamsync query account <PUBKEY> --pay-with sol

2. Node Staking¶

Operators stake STRM to run nodes:

Requirement	Amount
Minimum stake	10,000 STRM
Recommended stake	50,000+ STRM
Maximum benefit	1,000,000 STRM

3. Governance¶

Token holders vote on protocol parameters:

Reward percentages
Staking requirements
Slashing conditions
Protocol upgrades

4. Fee Discounts¶

STRM payments receive lower fees than SOL/USDC:

Payment Method	Fee Discount
STRM	0% (base rate)
SOL	+5%
USDC	+10%

FAQ¶

??? question "Is STRM required to use the network?" No. You can pay with SOL or USDC, which are auto-converted. STRM just offers the lowest fees.

??? question "What happens to slashed tokens?" 50% goes to the reporter, 50% to treasury.

??? question "Can I delegate my stake?" Delegation is planned for Phase 2.

??? question "What's the inflation rate?" Year 1: 8%, decreasing to 1.6% by year 6+
