Economy Layer

The Economy Layer provides the crypto-economic foundation that secures the network and aligns the incentives of every participant. At the center of this layer is the OS token, which acts as the unit of value for fees, staking, and rewards. Every transaction that passes through the BunnyOS Protocol generates a small fee, paid in OS. This design directly ties protocol revenue to adoption, ensuring that the system grows stronger as usage increases.

When an agent’s proposed transaction is verified and executed, the protocol’s execution contract collects the associated fee. The majority of this fee is distributed to the Policeman Nodes that performed the verification work, compensating them for their computational effort and incentivizing consistent, honest participation. A smaller portion of the fee flows into the protocol treasury, which acts as the funding engine for the ecosystem. The treasury supports ongoing development, long-term sustainability, and incentive programs that accelerate adoption.

This model ensures that the BunnyOS Protocol itself is financially sustainable. The more agents that use the system, the more fees are generated, which in turn supports both validator rewards and treasury growth. Importantly, the fee structure also creates a virtuous cycle: higher usage leads to more validator activity, stronger economic security through staking, and a healthier ecosystem for agents and developers.

The staking requirement for Policeman Nodes adds another layer of economic protection. Every validator must lock OS tokens as collateral, ensuring that they have meaningful financial exposure to the protocol’s success. Misbehavior is punished through slashing, where a portion of the stake is permanently confiscated and partially awarded to the auditor who uncovered the violation. This mechanism transforms dishonesty into a direct financial loss, while rewarding those who help enforce the system’s integrity.
