Tokenomics

EDWIN powers the governance of edwin DAO, provides access to edwin cloud features, and is backed by revenue from all DeFi transactions processed through the platform.

Revenue Model & Buybacks

Edwin generates revenue by collecting a small fee on all DeFi transaction volume processed through its infrastructure:

• A portion of all transaction fees is allocated to token buybacks

• Buybacks occur automatically on a regular schedule

• Purchased tokens are either burned or redistributed to stakers

• This mechanism creates consistent buy pressure and rewards long-term holders

This fee-to-buyback model aligns the protocol's growth with token value - as more users access DeFi through AI assistants, more revenue flows to support the $EDWIN token.

Governance

Token holders shape the future of DeFAI integration through the following:

• Voting on new DeFi protocol integrations

• Directing AI feature development priorities

• Steering platform research initiatives
