Holder Access
$DAEMON holder utility should unlock meaningful product access without creating unlimited AI cost exposure.
Launch Rule#
The clean initial rule is: hold 1,000,000 DAEMON and claim DAEMON Pro with included monthly AI usage. Higher holder tiers can unlock larger allowances or discounts later.
| Holder tier | Requirement | Benefit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Holder Pro | 1M DAEMON | Claim DAEMON Pro with standard Pro monthly AI usage | Live path |
| Holder Operator | 5M DAEMON | Higher allowance or Operator discount path | Planned |
| Holder Ultra | 10M DAEMON | Ultra discount, higher priority, and private beta access | Planned |
| Founding/Strategic | Manual | Founder badge, private beta, or enterprise-style grant | Manual |
Claim Flow#
- User opens DAEMON Pro or Subscriptions.
- User selects a local wallet.
- DAEMON asks the wallet to sign a plain message.
- The backend verifies address ownership, nonce freshness, and token balance.
- The backend issues an entitlement token.
- DAEMON unlocks the correct plan and periodically refreshes status.
Holder claim must be a message signature, not a transaction. No DAEMON tokens should leave the wallet.
