1. Base Image Creators

Base image creators who provide base images to AIU receive AIU token rewards. This will play a significant role in increasing the accuracy and diversity of AIU by providing base images required for AI image generation. AIU provides rewards to base image creators, encouraging more creators to participate and help improve the accuracy and diversity of the image generator.

2. Artist

The AIU artist pool consists of various artists providing different artistic styles. When users generate and publish an image after selecting an artist and choose to publish it as an NFT, artists receive a portion of the AIU token fee consumed at the point of NFT issuance. This reward system provides artists with a new revenue model for their artwork and helps AIU learn various artistic styles and generate high-quality images.

Base image creators and artists receive rewards based on the following formula:

• Number of image generations by artist (or base image creator): ni

• Artist (or base image creator) who provided image j: ui

• Number of downloads for image j: dj

• Total image usage count by artist i: Mi

• Reward amount for artist i: Ri

Mi = ∑ dj

Ri = f(Mi)

The function f follows the following logic:

• Mi >= C: Ri = k1 * Mi + k2

• Mi < C: Ri = 0

• C is the threshold value for image usage count, and k1 and k2 are reward coefficients. (However, there may be differences in the reward coefficients between artists and base image creators.)

3. Validators

Validators play a crucial role in AIU as members who verify artists and base image creators related to image generation. Rewarding their roles and contributions is vital for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of AIU. Validators are determined by the DAO and receive AIU token rewards based on the number of verified images and other criteria set by the DAO. These rewards are provided as compensation for validators investing their time and effort in ensuring the reliability of the image generation process and supporting the work of base image creators and artists.

4. General Evaluators

General evaluators participate in evaluating aspects such as image authenticity for a certain period after image registration in AI projects. Any user who has joined AIU can participate as a general evaluator, even if they are not registered as evaluators. General evaluators who verify aspects such as image authenticity for the images registered by image creators receive a certain amount of AIU tokens as a reward. These rewards are determined by the DAO and serve as compensation for the contribution of general evaluators in maintaining the integrity of AIU by verifying aspects such as image authenticity. Therefore, general evaluators play an important role in maintaining the integrity of AIU while receiving rewards for their efforts. (Abuse of malicious reporting may result in sanctions.)

1. Reward

AIU tokens serve as a reward system within the AIU ecosystem. They are distributed as compensation to base image creators, artists, validators, and general evaluators for their contributions and efforts. Base image creators receive AIU tokens for providing base images to enhance the accuracy and diversity of the AI image generator. When users select an artist's work to be issued as an NFT, the artist receives a portion of the AIU token transaction fee. Validators receive AIU tokens as compensation for verifying and validating the work of base image creators and artists.

2. NFT Issuance Fee

AIU tokens are used to pay for the fees incurred when users select an artist's work to be issued as an NFT. This covers the expenses involved in converting the artist's creation into a digital asset and permanently recording it on the blockchain. Users use AIU tokens to pay for these fees and, in return, own the NFT. This process utilizes the transparency and security of the blockchain to protect ownership rights of creative works and ensure proper compensation for artists.

3. Paying Fees

AIU tokens are also used for fees regarding certain actions within the ecosystem. These fees contribute to rewarding artists and sustaining the ecosystem. They also provide artists with a new revenue model ensuring high-quality artwork.

4. Image Output Fees

AIU tokens are also used to pay for the fees associated with outputting images in the AI ecosystem. Users use AIU tokens to pay for these services when generating or downloading images. These fees support the maintenance and development of the ecosystem, particularly expenses related to improving AI technology. Lastly, they also reflect the value of the resources needed to obtain the desired image and promote the continuous growth of the AI ecosystem.

5. Voting for DAO

AIU tokens are also used for voting in the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). DAO members, including validators and other community members, hold AIU tokens as well as voting rights. They can participate in the voting process to make decisions regarding the management and policies of the ecosystem.
