EADI Token Staking and Intelligence Access Tiers

EADI Token uses a staking-based mechanism for access to intelligence services. Participants lock an amount of EADI Token in a staking contract that complies with protocol rules. The system then determines their service tier from the valid staking status. While the stake remains effective, users may access ADI research services within the applicable tier allowances and data licenses. Normal usage does not consume the staked tokens.

Staking thresholds are managed in tiers. The thresholds, activation conditions, and computing allowances for each tier are published through the official protocol rules and shown to users before they stake. Staking is not a yield product; the protocol promises neither fixed interest nor principal protection nor appreciation in token value.

EADI Token staking entitlements comprise three layers: functional access, baseline computing allocations, and priority access to flexible computing capacity. The staking tier determines which professional modules and research capabilities may be used and the associated computing allowance. During periods of higher demand, flexible capacity is scheduled according to staking tier, sustained participation, and fairness rules.

Staking does not confer unlimited computing resources. Institutional contractual commitments, safety monitoring, and essential services take precedence, while flexible computing capacity is allocated fairly under protocol rules.

The amount staked determines the base service tier. Staking duration and compliant usage history influence scheduling weight within that tier. Sustained participation may confer a limited priority advantage, subject to fair-share limits, resource caps, and institutional contractual commitments, preventing large staking accounts from monopolizing computing resources.

Usage-history assessments focus on API abuse, unusually frequent requests, rule violations, and verified contributions to the system—not on whether a user has made profitable investments. The protocol does not reward excessive trading or automatically deprive users of legitimate access because their investments lose value.

Participants may request to unstake in accordance with the staking protocol. Lockup periods, unstaking waiting periods, and entitlement adjustments are governed by uniform rules; this white paper does not prescribe specific durations. Upon an unstaking request, the system must clearly communicate the release conditions, changes to service tiers, and adjustments to governance eligibility. Existing institutional service agreements do not automatically terminate because an individual changes their stake.

Lockup and exit conditions already in effect are governed by the rules disclosed at the time of staking. New protocol parameters should generally apply to subsequent stakes or renewals, avoiding retroactive changes to participants' core rights without prior agreement.
