DI Token

The DI Token is the native governance and utility token of the DI Network ecosystem, serving as the cornerstone of the protocol's economic model and governance structure.

Overview

DI Token serves four primary functions that make it essential to the protocol:

Token Specifications

Property	Value
Name	DI Token
Symbol	DI
Type	ERC20Votes + ERC20Permit
Total Supply	1,000,000,000 (1 Billion)
Decimals	18
Mintable	No (Fixed Supply)
Burnable	Yes (Through Buybacks)

Core Functions

1. Governance Token

DI token holders control the protocol through decentralized governance:

Governance

2. Staking & Rewards

Stake DI tokens to earn rewards and boost governance power:

Key Features

Multi-Utility Design

Unlike single-purpose tokens, DI serves multiple critical functions:

• Primary Collateral: 75% collateral factor for DUSD minting

• Governance Rights: Vote on all protocol parameters

• Staking Rewards: Earn 8-20% APY based on lock period

• Fee Sharing: Receive 50% of all protocol fees

Cross-Chain Native

DI token operates seamlessly across all supported networks:

• Unified Supply: Same token across all chains

• Synchronized Governance: Single governance system

• Cross-Chain Staking: Stake on any supported network

• Bridge Integration: Native cross-chain transfers

Deflationary Mechanisms

Multiple mechanisms create deflationary pressure:

• Buyback Program: Protocol uses revenue to buy back tokens

• Burn Mechanism: Bought-back tokens are permanently burned

• Staking Lock: Significant portion locked reducing circulating supply

• Vesting Schedule: Gradual release over 48 months

Economic Model

Value Accrual Mechanisms

Revenue Streams

1. Trading Fees: 0.1-0.3% on synthetic asset trades

2. Interest Payments: 5% APR on borrowed DUSD

3. Liquidation Penalties: 5% bonus on liquidated positions

4. Bridge Fees: Cross-chain transaction fees

5. Funding Rates: Perpetual trading funding payments

Fee Distribution

Recipient	Percentage	Purpose
DI Stakers	50%	Reward token holders
Treasury	30%	Protocol development
Insurance Fund	15%	Risk management
Development	5%	Ongoing maintenance

Integration Guide

Basic Integration

import { DINetwork } from '@dinetwork/sdk';

const di = new DINetwork({
  chainId: 1,
  provider: window.ethereum
});

// Get DI token balance
const balance = await di.tokens.getDIBalance(userAddress);

// Stake DI tokens
await di.staking.stake(amount, lockPeriod);

// Delegate voting power
await di.governance.delegate(delegateAddress);

Advanced Features

// Check staking rewards
const rewards = await di.staking.getRewards(userAddress);

// Vote on proposal
await di.governance.vote(proposalId, support);

// Use as collateral
await di.dusd.depositCollateral(amount);
