# RYA: 1B Fixed Supply, 5–8% Float, Buy-Backs From Real Fees *1,000,000,000 fixed supply. No investor round. Real protocol fees buy RYA on the open market and pay stakers.* By [Rayachain](https://paragraph.com/@rayachain) · 2026-05-05 tokenomics, omnirisk, rya, layerzero, bittensor --- RYA is the access and fee-capture token for Rayachain, OmniRisk's cross-chain risk-intelligence network. It is not a governance speculation instrument — it is a cash-flow asset backed by real protocol revenue. * **1,000,000,000 RYA** total supply — fixed, pre-minted in full at TGE. No inflation lever, ever. * **Canonical chain: Solana.** Bridged to Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, and BSC via LayerZero OFT. * **Mint authority revoked immediately** at TGE + LP initialization on Solana (`setAuthority(mint, null)`). Irreversible. On EVM, no mint function exists in the contract — supply is hardcoded at deploy, ownership retained at 3-of-5 Safe multisig for operational control only (LayerZero peer config, DVN updates, emergency pause). * **No insider rounds. No investor bucket.** Supply is split across emissions, treasury, team, liquidity, community, and advisors — that's it. Token Distribution ------------------ ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/5ca72ae18e5844d56645fcd0a629a69a98636849174048bbaf629b43a25a3d13.png) Bucket % Tokens TGE Liquid Emissions (Mining / Incentives) 35% 350,000,000 0 Treasury / Protocol 25% 250,000,000 0 Team (Vested) 15% 150,000,000 0 Liquidity 10% 100,000,000 30M–50M Community / Airdrop 10% 100,000,000 20M–30M Advisors 5% 50,000,000 0 **Total** **100%** **1,000,000,000** **50M–80M (5–8%)** **TGE-day float: 5–8% of supply.** Composed of the initial airdrop (2–3%) plus deployed-at-TGE liquidity (3–5%). All other buckets are 100% locked on day one. Unlock schedules will be published on TokenUnlocks/Hedgey before TGE. Emissions --------- **35% of supply (350,000,000 RYA)** is pre-minted to an on-chain lockup contract at TGE and released gradually over 4–5 years via a published, governance-immutable emission curve. No cliff drops, no schedule changes after launch. Stakers earn emission rewards in addition to fee-yield (see below) — two separate, simultaneous yield streams. Fee Model — How Value Flows to RYA Holders ------------------------------------------ RYA captures real protocol cash flow. This is the differentiating mechanism. User pays fee in USDC (or chain-native gas token) │ ├── 30–50% ──► Market-buy RYA on DEX ──► Distributed to stakers │ └── 50–70% ──► Treasury (operations, audits, grants, runway) * Users **never need to hold RYA to use the product** — fees are paid in USDC or native gas. * **30–50% of every protocol fee** triggers a programmatic market-buy of RYA on canonical DEX pools, creating persistent buy pressure tied directly to product usage volume. * Bought RYA flows to **active stakers as fee yield** — a real-revenue distribution, not printed rewards. * The buy-back ratio is multisig-tunable within the 30–50% band; outside that band requires DAO vote post-governance launch. **Revenue sources:** Source Description Cross-chain transfers LayerZero OFT bridge fees on RYA and partner-token transfers Risk broadcasts Per-broadcast fees on cross-chain risk-score and verdict publication API / scoring Subscription revenue from OmniRisk risk-intelligence API consumers Token Utility ------------- Utility Mechanism **Staking** Lock RYA → earn (a) emission rewards + (b) fee-yield from buy-back. Longer lockups earn higher weight. **Fee discounts** Stakers and holders pay reduced rates on broadcast and API fees. **Access tiers** RYA stake size unlocks priority risk scoring, higher API rate limits, and premium broadcast lanes. RYA functions as a **cash-flow asset** (staker yield from real protocol revenue), a **discount mechanism** (cost basis for power users), and an **access credential** (gates premium product surfaces). Bittensor Alignment ------------------- RYA is the **distribution layer for AI-generated risk signals** produced by Bittensor subnet participants. The integration operates at the value-flow layer — RYA is not a Subtensor-native asset. * A portion of fee revenue from risk broadcasts that consume Bittensor subnet outputs is routed to subnet contributors producing those signals. * RYA emissions include a future-state allocation for subnet operators delivering quality risk-aligned outputs. * Staked RYA will influence subnet model selection and weighting when governance hooks ship — RYA stakers vote on which subnet outputs are accepted into Rayachain broadcasts. RYA is the access and governance asset over a Bittensor-aligned, cross-chain risk-intelligence network. TGE-Day Summary --------------- Stat Value Total supply 1,000,000,000 RYA TGE circulating 5–8% (50M–80M RYA) Insider / investor bucket None Team tokens at TGE 0 — 1-year cliff, 3-year linear vest Mint revocation (Solana) Immediate at TGE + LP init EVM mint function Does not exist — supply hardcoded at deploy Bridge LayerZero OFT (Solana canonical, 5 EVM spokes) Audit scope OFT-EVM + Solana program + staking + buy-back router What "Fixed Supply" Actually Means ---------------------------------- On Solana, the mint authority is revoked by executing `setAuthority(mint, null)` in the same transaction window as TGE and LP initialization. This is cryptographically irreversible — no entity can mint additional RYA on Solana after that transaction confirms. On EVM, no `mint()` function exists in the production contract. Supply is hardcoded at deployment. The 3-of-5 Safe multisig retains operational ownership for LayerZero peer configuration and emergency bridge pauses — not for supply expansion. An independent audit firm will verify: (1) no path from any role to supply expansion, (2) no proxy/upgradeability that could introduce a mint function, (3) total supply across all 6 chains equals canonical Solana supply at all times.
