Ecosphere’s tokenomics are designed to align long-term incentives between data contributors, app developers, and mission-driven capital. At the heart of the system is the Ecosphere Prime Genesis Pass, a limited-supply credential that bootstraps the Planetary Neural Network or Neuroverse. Genesis Pass holders gain early access to Geo Medallion sales, staking programs, exclusive governance rights, and priority rewards from the network’s first data monetization flows.

The Neuroverse is divided into  Geo Medallions that represent exclusive territories. These NFT’s represent a specific 5.18 square kilometer are on the Earth’s surface. Owners of these territories are obliged to purchase sensors packs to be installed in there territories. These Medallions function as proof-of-contribution and unlock region-specific rewards, governance participation in zone-level data councils, and higher data multipliers based on sensor density, reliability, and coverage. Together with the Genesis Pass, Geo Medallions create a layered incentive structure that rewards both early adoption and long-term local stewardship.

Data contributors—whether individuals, communities, or institutions—are rewarded in $IQON tokens for publishing verifiable, high-quality sensor data. These tokens are distributed based on a dynamic reputation model that weights not just quantity but reliability, uniqueness, and impact of the data feeds using Edge-AI nodes and Neuronets that perform compute or validate data streams also earn proportional rewards.

IQON = Value × Veracity × Intelligence

IQON generation is defined as:

IQON is a “proof-of-cognition” unit—only earned through participation in the living, thinking layer of the Earth.

IQON is the unit of energy that powers the Neuroverse.
It’s minted when sensors observe, when nodes infer, and when truth is verified.

• Just as joules measure physical energy, IQON measures verified mental or informational work.

• It represents data + processing + proof—not just raw bits, but meaningful, trusted insight.

Ecosphere’s token economy is backed by real-world data monetization. Enterprise clients, researchers, insurers, and developers pay for access to specific data feeds and analytical layers via fiat or stablecoins. A portion of this revenue is used to buy back and burn or redistribute Ecosphere tokens, creating a demand-supply feedback loop that gives tokens an intrinsic, utility-driven value. This ensures the sustainability of rewards over time while anchoring the token’s value in the tangible utility of the climate intelligence layer Ecosphere is building.
