Token documentation

How $LEXI works

This page documents the token's design role in the protocol. It is written as documentation, not promotion.

No token is live. $LEXI has not launched, no sale is open, and no launch date is announced on this site. Nothing on this page is an offer, a solicitation, or advice of any kind, in any jurisdiction. Virtual assets carry risk, including the loss of their entire value.

Customers pay in USDC, not $LEXI

Every service on LEXI is priced in USDC: protocols pay a USDC fee per credential, and reliers pay a fixed USDC fee for reliance access. Neither a protocol nor a relier ever needs to hold $LEXI. This is deliberate: a compliance bill should not float with a token price. The pricing model is documented at /pricing.md.

Where protocol revenue goes

The protocol's USDC revenue follows a fixed split, set at genesis and adjustable by governance after launch:

ShareDestinationWhat it does
40%Buyback and burnUsed to buy $LEXI on a Base DEX and burn it, with slippage and TWAP guards
60%TreasuryFunds engine costs, audits and operations
0%Co-signing professionalThe professional's firm is retained by the protocol separately, outside LEXI

What the token is for

  • Staking. Legal professionals stake a USD-pegged amount of $LEXI, about $5,000, to be eligible to co-sign. The requirement is re-pegged against price so the dollar cost of participation stays stable. The stake is the bond that committee-adjudicated slashing acts on, with a 14-day unbonding period.
  • Governance. Holders govern jurisdiction expansion, fee parameters, slashing conditions and treasury actions. Token holders never vote on whether a protocol is compliant; that judgment belongs to the licensed professional who signs.

Supply facts

  • Fixed supply of one billion $LEXI, on Base. The token is burnable; burned supply is gone.
  • No new issuance mechanism. The buyback module burns what it buys.

Why a token at all

Two reasons, stated flatly. First, permissionless participation: a licensed professional anywhere can stake and join the panel without signing a commercial contract with us, which a SaaS seat cannot do. Second, the stake gives the co-signature economic weight that a directory listing does not have: a bond that misconduct can forfeit, under a committee's judgment, not an algorithm's.

What is true today

The token contracts are part of the V0/V1 build and are not deployed. The mechanics above are protocol design, published for transparency, and they can change through the audit and governance process. When something on this page changes, the page changes.
