The CRYPTIC token is the ecosystem token supporting access, incentives, and participation across the Cryptic platform. It is designed to help align users, developers, partners, and ecosystem activity across Cryptic’s Mobile, Desktop, and SDK infrastructure. CRYPTIC is not required for cryptographic security. Secure communication, encrypted data transfer, non-custodial key control, and post-quantum protection are part of the underlying product architecture. *** #### What is the total token supply? The total supply is capped at **100,000,000 CRYPTIC**. There is no inflationary issuance under the current token design. *** #### What is the token used for? CRYPTIC is designed to support practical utility across the Cryptic ecosystem. Potential use cases may include: * Platform access and usage tiers * Premium Mobile features where applicable * Desktop utility and advanced workflow access * Private Rooms and team coordination spaces * Confidential AI workflow access where applicable * SDK or API-related access tiers * Developer and partner programs * Referral and usage-based incentive campaigns * Fee discounts where supported * Staking participation where applicable * Ecosystem incentives and community participation * Governance participation over time, subject to legal, product, and governance design As Cryptic evolves across Mobile, Desktop, SDK, Private AI, and agentic coordination, token utility may expand through approved ecosystem mechanisms. *** #### How does CRYPTIC support the product stack? CRYPTIC is designed to support activity across the three main Cryptic surfaces. **Mobile**\ CRYPTIC may support premium access, referral incentives, Private Rooms, card-related benefits where applicable, and ecosystem participation for everyday users. **Desktop**\ CRYPTIC may support advanced workflow access, confidential AI features, encrypted storage, DeFi workflow benefits, team spaces, and professional usage tiers where applicable. **SDK**\ CRYPTIC may support developer access, API usage tiers, partner programs, integration incentives, priority access, and ecosystem participation for builders, apps, wallets, protocols, and future agent systems. **Agentic Coordination**\ As human-to-agent and agent-to-agent workflows develop, CRYPTIC may support access, usage, incentives, and coordination mechanisms around secure agent infrastructure where applicable. *** #### How does value accrue within the ecosystem? Cryptic’s economic model is designed around real product usage, not speculation. Platform revenue may be directed to the treasury and allocated, subject to treasury policy, governance or approval processes where applicable, available revenue, legal considerations, and market conditions. Potential treasury uses may include: * Product development * Protocol hardening and security work * Independent audits and technical reviews * Ecosystem incentive programs * Developer and partner growth * Infrastructure and operational support * Liquidity support where applicable * Buyback and burn operations where applicable This structure is designed to align platform adoption, treasury sustainability, product growth, and long-term ecosystem participation. *** #### Is the token speculative? CRYPTIC is designed as a utility-driven ecosystem token, not a short-term speculative instrument. Its role within the Cryptic ecosystem is tied to access, usage, incentives, developer participation, partner alignment, and ecosystem growth across Mobile, Desktop, SDK, Private AI, and future agentic coordination. Cryptic’s economic model is intended to support real product activity across the product stack. The token should be understood as an ecosystem utility and participation layer, not as a guarantee of price appreciation, yield, revenue share, or investment return. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://cryptic-documentation.gitbook.io/cryptic-documentation/frequently-asked-questions/token-and-economics.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
