$IRL Token - Integra’s Native Token
The $IRL (Integra Real Estate Layer) token is the native utility, settlement, and governance asset of the Integra blockchain. It underpins every transaction, governance decision, and ecosystem interaction, directly tying token utility to real world adoption and value creation.
$IRL serves multiple core purposes:
Gas Fees: All transactions, from asset issuance to compliance checks, are settled in $IRL, ensuring consistent on-chain demand.
Staking: Secures the network through validator staking, with rewards distributed to both validators and delegators.
Governance: Grants holders the ability to vote on protocol upgrades, ecosystem funding, network parameters, and module integrations.
Value Capture: Integra’s native core products (i.e., Asset Passport, Global Orderbook, Stablecoin) also capture value via $IRL.
The majority of high-value activities within Integra’s ecosystem are either token-gated by $IRL holdings or generate protocol fees denominated in $IRL.
Deflationary & Growth Mechanics
Integra is engineered with a dual economic mechanism:
Deflationary Pressure:
A portion of all transaction fees and premium service charges is burned, gradually reducing the circulating supply.
Native DApp activities contribute to constant burn events, linking the token directly to platform usage.
Sustainable Inflation:
Beginning in year three, the protocol introduces an annual base inflation rate of 3% to fund validator rewards and ecosystem incentives. The inflation schedule and its interaction with fee-burning and incentive programs are subject to periodic review and adjustment through on-chain governance. These mechanisms are designed to create constant buy pressure and control token velocity, supporting long-term value appreciation.
This combination is intended to align network usage with token demand while providing sustainable incentives for validators and long-term participants.
