Product Utilities

$VERTAI is the native utility token of the Vertical ecosystem. It powers payments, staking rewards, partner airdrops, affiliate tiers, and quarterly burns across the platform.

What you get when you hold and stake $VERTAI

1. Purchasing credits at a discounted rate

Pay with $VERTAI and save 15% at checkout.

The USD price is converted into tokens at the live rate. The discount is applied instantly. Credits keep their USD value inside the platform after purchase.

2. Stake $VERTAI and earn daily cashback

Stake your $VERTAI to earn daily cashback from a shared reward pool.

Every 30 days, a new pool is funded from platform revenue. Rewards are distributed proportionally across all stakers. The larger your share of total staked tokens, the larger your daily cashback.

Cashback is virtual and spendable on Vertical products in the VERTAI Shop. You can unstake at any time. You always receive 100% of your tokens back.

Feature	How it works
Reward pool	Every 30 days, a new pool is funded from platform revenue.
Daily distribution	Your share accrues daily as virtual cashback. No action is needed.
Proportional rewards	Your share is based on your stake divided by total staked tokens.
Spend in shop	Claim your cashback and spend it on Vertical products.
Unstake anytime	100% of your $VERTAI is returned when you unstake.

3. Earn airdrops through weight

On top of cashback, staked $VERTAI builds weight over time.

Weight determines your share of partner airdrops from Vertical Labs projects. The longer your stake stays eligible, the more weight it builds. A weekly unlock cap limits how fast new stake can gain full weight. This rewards consistent staking over short-term deposits.

Snapshots are taken at random timestamps for fair distribution. Unstaking reduces your weight permanently and resets weekly unlock progress.

Feature	How it works
Weight system	The longer your eligible stake stays active, the more weight it builds.
Weekly unlock cap	Each week, more of your stake becomes eligible for weight.
Partner airdrops	Your weight determines your share of token pools from Vertical Labs partner projects.
Snapshots	Random snapshots capture each staker’s weight for fair distribution.
Unstaking resets	Reducing your stake lowers your weight and resets weekly unlock progress.

4. Affiliate program with loyalty tiers

Bring new users to Vertical AI and earn a share of their spend.

Lock $VERTAI to unlock higher commission tiers, up to 20%. Payouts are sent monthly in USDC or $VERTAI. The minimum payout is $20. Smaller balances roll over.

Tier	Min. USD staked	Affiliate rate
Bronze	$250	5%
Silver	$500	8%
Gold	$1,000	12%
Platinum	$5,000	16%
Diamond	$10,000	20%

Tiers are USD-pegged. Your tier is based on the USD value of your staked $VERTAI, so it can move up or down with the token price.

5. Quarterly token burn based on platform revenues

Each quarter, 10% of net profits earned in $VERTAI are burned on-chain.

This permanently reduces total supply and ties token scarcity directly to platform growth. Burns continue until 25,000,000 tokens are burned, or five years pass, whichever comes first.
