$ost TOKENOMICS
The Utility & Governance Token of the Osmium Ecosystem
$OST (Osmium Token) is the native utility and governance token of the Osmium Protocol, the first modular streaming infrastructure built for real-world assets (RWAs). $OST enables programmable yield distribution, network participation, and protocol governance across a compliant, AI-enhanced, and DePIN-powered ecosystem.

1. Stream Activation
-
$OST is used to activate yield streaming contracts on Osmium.
-
Required for onboarding tokenized RWAs into Osmium’s yield protocol layer.
-
Functions as gas for initiating and scheduling streaming flows.
2. Protocol Staking
-
Validators and protocol participants can stake $OST to secure key streaming functions.
-
Staking unlocks governance rights and may earn protocol revenue (fees).
3. Fee Payments & Discount
- Asset owners, integrators, and platforms can pay streaming and wrapping fees using $OST.
- Fee discounts available for paying in $OST versus stablecoins.
4. Fee Payments & Discount
-
$OST holders vote on protocol upgrades, fee structures, integrations, and compliance modules.
-
Enables decentralized control over yield strategy onboarding and cross-chain expansion.
5. DePIN Incentives
- $OST is the incentive layer for Osmium’s DePIN data contributors (e.g. real-world yield data streams from oracles, PMS, IoT sensors, or ESG auditors).
- Encourages high-fidelity real-world data to enhance yield precision and regulatory assurance.
6. Initial Allocation
The total supply of $OST is capped at 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) tokens. The initial allocation is strategically designed to balance long-term protocol sustainability, incentivize early adopters, and support ecosystem growth through compliant, community-driven mechanisms.
