| Development | 2 % transaction tax | 2 % transaction tax |
| Operations | 2 % transaction tax | 2 % transaction tax |

| Treasury | 5 % initial allocation | 5 % initial allocation (+ possible fee share) |
| Liquidity (LP) | 60 % locked at launch | Locked at launch |
Transition is gradual, driven by ParalleliX AI usage volume, not tied to a calendar date. The steady-state split of ParalleliX AI usage payments is 85 % to operators (the uptime-weighted pool), 10 % to treasury, and 5 % to infrastructure, settled in $PRLX. Operators earn the token directly, with no separate credit currency.
Bootstrap subsidy hard end. The 25 % Operator Rewards bucket unlocks linearly over 24 months. After month 24 the bucket is exhausted. Steady-state ParalleliX AI usage revenue must fund operator rewards by then.
