Token Sinks

Lazy Student includes multiple mandatory consumption sinks to ensure sustainable token velocity.

These sinks reduce circulating supply as usage increases.

1. Access Burn​

A percentage (5–15%) of every EA unlock is permanently burned.

Example:

  • Student pays 10 $LST
  • 1 $LST is burned
  • 9 $LST goes to creator + treasury

Burn rate is adjustable via governance.

2. Slashing Mechanisms​

Creators stake $LST to publish.
If they violate rules (e.g., plagiarism, spam), a portion of their stake is slashed.

Slashed tokens are:

  • Burned (severe cases)
  • Sent to treasury (minor cases)

This enforces quality and accountability.

3. Automation Credit Consumption​

AI features require non-refundable $LST credits.

Examples:

  • 0.5 $LST per quiz generation
  • 1 $LST per study plan
  • 2 $LST per workflow automation

These credits are burned on use.

4. Expiring Licenses (Optional Future Sink)​

Governance may introduce:

  • Time-bound access
  • Subscription-based unlocks
  • Renewal fees

Each renewal burns a percentage of tokens.

Why Sinks Matter​

Token sinks ensure:

  • Lower circulating supply
  • Higher long-term sustainability
  • Demand tied to real usage
  • No reliance on emissions or inflation

Lazy Student is designed to avoid the failures of Learn-to-Earn models by anchoring token value to consumption, not speculation.
