## Self-Sustaining and Self-Improving

BeeARD is a nonprofit organization established to accelerate and foster progress in scientific research. It is designed to be both self-sustaining and self-improving. \
\
BeeARD utilizes a cryptographic token value flywheel to build self-sustainability, generating cash and IP token revenues from BeeARD-assisted research, pairing those IP tokens with BeeARD in liquidity pools, and enabling BeeARD token holders to farm those IP tokens. \
\
BeeARD utilizes reinforcement learning to foster a self-improving research ecosystem through a continuous feedback loop—as discoveries emerge, their data generated and their tokenization fuel further advancements in BeeARD’s infrastructure, agent capabilities, and collective intelligence.

| **LP on Base**               | 15% | No vesting; available at launch                                                                |
| ---------------------------- | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PsyDAO (Initial Sponsor)** | 10% | Unlocked, but dedicated solely to providing liquidity (LP)                                     |
| **Partners**                 | 10% | Unlocking per OTC round terms; first unlock after 1 year                                       |
| **Team**                     | 15% | Unlocking over 3 years with a 1-year cliff                                                     |
| **$PSY** **Farming**         | 5%  | Specific program details TBD (e.g., rewards schedule)                                          |
| **Ecosystem Rewards**        | 45% | Unlocking determined case by case for data/compute/code contributors and other ecosystem needs |

## Ecosystem Rewards

The 45% allocated to ecosystem rewards incentivizes community members, researchers, programmers and data or compute providers. The exact unlocking terms vary based on BeeARD’s governance decisions.

## IP Token

The BeeARD token is an IP token minted using the [Molecule protocol](https://mint.molecule.xyz/ipnft/44) to governs the BeeARD system’s architecture, models, generated data and derivative IP.&#x20;

## IP Token Farming

When BeeARD discovers new IP and it’s tokenized, BeeARD’s treasury gains IP tokens, which can be farmed by BeeARD token holders.

## Origins & Community Ownership

The project was originally founded by PsyDAO. The majority of tokens are allocated for community incentives, ensuring that real power and ownership belong to the contributors—those who actively build, research, and shape the project's success.

## $PSY **Farming**

The 5% of tokens are reserved for farming with $PSY token, a native token for PsyDAO that initially funded this project, subject to PsyDAO governance.&#x20;
