Tokenomics
Migration
The migration lifecycle, reserve model and safeguards separated from the core tokenomics overview.
Pre-mainnet access
A temporary Ethereum representation can bridge project funding to native BTCAI.

BTCAI-ETH is a planned ERC-20 representation intended for pre-mainnet project funding/community distribution and later migration to native BTCAI, subject to legal review, final issuance terms, reserve accounting, and published migration rules.
BTCAI-ETH is not
- A guaranteed presale
- A guaranteed investment
- A guaranteed listing
- Risk-free
- Classified as a security or non-security without counsel
No unbacked migration claims
Every migration token should have transparent native BTCAI reserve accounting.
1 BTCAI-ETH
ERC-20 on Ethereum
1 reserved native BTCAI
Held in a published migration reserve
This does not mean native BTCAI is transferable before mainnet.
For each legitimate migration-eligible BTCAI-ETH there should be one reserved native BTCAI under published accounting rules.
- Issued BTCAI-ETH
- Total ERC-20 supply created under approved terms
- Launch parameter / not yet live
- Migration-eligible BTCAI-ETH
- Issued tokens that meet published eligibility rules
- Launch parameter / not yet live
- Reserved native BTCAI
- Native BTCAI set aside 1:1 against eligible BTCAI-ETH
- Launch parameter / not yet live
- Migrated amount
- Native BTCAI released against consumed claims
- Launch parameter / not yet live
- Burned / locked BTCAI-ETH
- ERC-20 permanently removed from circulation
- Launch parameter / not yet live
- Remaining reserve
- Reserved minus migrated; must never go negative
- Launch parameter / not yet live
Architecture only — no reserve exists yet, so no figures are shown.
From ERC-20 to native
Migration should be one-way, auditable, and resistant to double claims.
- 1Eligibility snapshot / validationEligible balances are fixed and published before the window opens.
- 2Wallet connects to the official migration appOnly the app linked from bitcoinai.network is official.
- 3User submits BTCAI-ETHThe holder chooses the amount and the native destination address.
- 4Contract burns or permanently locks BTCAI-ETHThe ERC-20 can never be redeemed again.
- 5Migration proof is generatedThe source transaction becomes a verifiable claim.
- 6BitcoinAI verifies the claimAfter the required Ethereum confirmation depth.
- 7Reserved native BTCAI is releasedFrom the published migration reserve, 1:1.
- 8Claim is marked consumedRecorded in the consumed-claim registry.
- 9Explorer / reserve state updatesPublic reserve accounting reflects the migration.
No migration app, contract or claim flow exists yet. This describes the planned architecture only.
One claim, one release
A migration token must not be redeemable twice.
- Burn or permanent lock
- Unique claim ID
- Source-chain transaction hash
- Migration nonce
- Consumed-claim registry
- Chain ID binding
- Reserve accounting
- Proof confirmation depth
- Migration contract audit
- Pause mechanism
- Emergency recovery policy
migrationClaimId = Hash( sourceChain || sourceTx || sourceWallet || amount || destinationWallet || nonce )
Any change to any input produces a different ID, and each ID can be consumed exactly once.
