 At the heart of Agentic Financial Intelligence (AFI) lies a native emissions protocol: an evolving, multi-agent incentive system designed to reward signal contribution, validation, and insight. The AFI Token ($AFI) is not merely a utility token; it is a representation of proof-of-contribution, temporal relevance, novelty, and agentic cognition.
 
-The AFI token architecture merges deterministic emissions logic with adaptive challenge mechanics and novel-signal detection. Its goal is to maintain a credible, trustless incentive stream for scoring agents, signal providers, validators, and governance participants—each of whom plays a unique role in evolving the financial cognition of the protocol.
