EVERY TICK
COSTS A
$BEAT.
The atomic fuel of Takt Protocol. Generated by staking $TAKT, consumed on every scheduled execution. The pulse that powers the metronome.
DUAL_TOKEN_MODEL
Like NEO generates GAS, staking $TAKT generates $BEAT. Two tokens, one protocol, perfect harmony.
$TAKT
GOVERNANCE_&_STAKING- Protocol governance voting power
- Keeper node staking collateral
- Fixed supply — no inflation
- Stake to generate $BEAT passively
$BEAT
UTILITY_&_FUEL- Pay task scheduling fees on-chain
- Earned by Keepers as execution rewards
- Generated by staking $TAKT
- Burned on every execution — deflationary
HOW_$BEAT_WORKS
The lifecycle of a single $BEAT — from generation to burn
STAKE
Token holders stake $TAKT in the protocol vault. Staked tokens secure the Keeper network and begin generating $BEAT at a fixed rate per epoch.
GENERATE
Each epoch, $BEAT is minted proportionally to staked $TAKT. No pre-mine, no ICO allocation — every $BEAT is earned through protocol participation.
FUEL
Task Owners deposit $BEAT as bounty for scheduling. Keepers compete to execute tasks at the target slot. Winner claims the $BEAT bounty.
BURN
A percentage of every $BEAT spent on task fees is permanently burned. Increasing usage = increasing scarcity. The metronome self-regulates.
BEAT_ECONOMICS
SPEC_V1
$BEAT has no pre-mine, no team allocation, and no venture unlock schedule. Every token is generated through protocol activity. The supply is designed to be perpetually deflationary as network usage grows.

Functional use cases within Takt Protocol
SCHEDULE_FEES
Pay $BEAT to register cron tasks on-chain. Fee scales with execution frequency and complexity. Lower $BEAT cost = simpler trigger logic.
KEEPER_REWARDS
Keepers earn $BEAT for every successful execution. Priority access to high-bounty tasks for Keepers with higher $TAKT stakes.
SLASHING_INSURANCE
Keepers who miss target slots or execute incorrectly get their staked $BEAT slashed and burned. Network quality self-regulates.
PRIORITY_LANES
Attach extra $BEAT to tasks for priority execution. High-value DeFi operations can guarantee sub-slot latency.
ORACLE_TRIGGERS
Conditional tasks that trigger on price feeds or on-chain events cost additional $BEAT for oracle query fees.
RECYCLING_POOLS
Unused $BEAT from cancelled tasks flows to community recycling pools. Stakers can claim recycled $BEAT proportionally.
PROTOCOL_COMPARISONS
Takt's dual-token model follows proven economic patterns from leading L1 protocols.

The_Deflationary_Thesis
"Every scheduled task burns $BEAT. As Solana's autonomous agent ecosystem grows, more tasks are scheduled per epoch. More tasks = more burns. More burns = less supply. The metronome accelerates, the supply contracts."
EMISSION_FORMULA
FEEL THE $BEAT.
STAKE $TAKT. EARN $BEAT. FUEL THE METRONOME.
The rhythm of Solana's autonomous future runs on $BEAT. Every task scheduled, every slot executed, every heartbeat powered.
