# $AGT Token

Alaya’s ecosystem is powered by its native platform token, $AGT.

$AGT serves both as a utility token and as Alaya’s governance token, it has a maximum circulation of 5 billion. $AGT plays a key role in Alaya’s ecosystem incentives and platform security and is required for governance, auto-labelling model development, NFT upgrades and custom data requests, etc.

Users must stake $AGT to participate in data validation, contribute to auto-labelling model development, make custom data requests, upload data package offers or partake in community governance, etc.

* $AGT is rewarded for training task completion, milestone achievements and event participation, etc;
* $AGT is required for NFT upgrades at specific levels and between set intervals;
* $AGT staking is required in addition to specific Medallion NFTs for access to advanced tasks;
* $AGT reward pools can be created for custom data requests by AI model developers;
* $AGT staking is required for advanced users to access data validation and calibration tasks to support auto-labelling AI model development;
* $AGT staking serves as an essential platform security and ecosystem incentive alignment mechanism;
* $AGT staking is required for DAO governance (e.g., voting for auto-labelling model features and proposals);

Alaya’s platform revenue will be used to repurchase and redistribute $AGT back into the platform’s user reward pool to maintain a sustainable incentive structure and business cycle.

$AGT also plays a key role in Alaya AI’s AI model tokenisation system and coordination mechanism. Users must stake a certain amount of $AGT to access data validation and calibration tasks to assist AI model development and fine-tuning for greater task rewards.

$AGT staking is an important security and coordination mechanism for advanced platform contribution as a proof-of-stake and sunken cost to deter malicious user input. $AGT staking alone does not provide users with any passive income or revenue, it only provides users with a greater reward leverage by unlocking advanced tasks and ecosystem roles to encourage high-impact contribution and align user incentives with the platform and its community.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://alaya-ai.gitbook.io/alaya-ai/user-manual/usdagt-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
