Tokenomics

The utility and governance token of the Orbitraz protocol

Every $ORBT in circulation has a job: securing a stake, rewarding a data submission, funding a collision bounty, or casting a governance vote.

How $ORBT moves through the protocol.

The OrbitToken, DataVault, and CollisionBounty contracts are live on testnet. See real supply, pools, and addresses.

When a satellite operator performs a fuel-optimized collision avoidance maneuver through the Orbitraz protocol, a portion of the saved fuel cost is captured as value.

Operators receive $ORBT tokens proportional to:

Fuel saved (verified by on-chain data)

Successful execution of smart contract maneuvers

Why This Matters: Every maneuver becomes a profit center, not a cost center.

Validators stake $ORBT to participate in consensus and verify the accuracy of orbital data.

Additional $ORBT rewards from the protocol's incentive pool

Governance power proportional to stake

Validators face "slashing" (loss of staked tokens) if they approve false data, ensuring economic alignment with honesty.

All network services (data broadcasts, maneuver requests) are paid in $ORBT. A percentage of each fee is:

Creating deflationary pressure, increasing scarcity over time.

Funding ecosystem development, grants, and partnerships.
