[PROPOSAL-005] Establishing the GURU <> AIGURU Framework: Guru AI-Powered Economy

Summary

This proposal seeks DAO approval for the strategic direction to introduce the AIGURU token and implement its foundational economic framework, establishing it as the utility and governance engine for the upcoming launch of the Guru Wizard platform. This framework defines the crucial GURU x AIGURU relationship, positioning AIGURU as the vital fuel for our burgeoning AI economy and directly linking ecosystem activity to the foundational GURU token.

The core concepts we ask the DAO to endorse today are:

  1. GURU Staking is Mandatory for AIGURU: Implementing the system where AIGURU is obtained only by staking GURU. Rule: No GURU staked = No AIGURU = No access to the AI ecosystem.
  2. AIGURU is the Key & Fuel: Defining AIGURU as the essential utility token required to power every action: launching AI apps, upgrading agents, activating Nodes via the Guru Wizard, and participating in DAO governance.
  3. Integrated Ecosystem Components: Conceptually integrating Wizard Nodes (as pathways for specialized contribution/development focus) and Guru Apps Credits (GACs, rewarding active participation), all powered by the AIGURU economy.
  4. Managed Growth & Utility Focus: Approving the principle of a phased AIGURU distribution and liquidity strategy that prioritizes stability and real utility.
  5. Compliance & Active Use: Affirming commitment to utility-first design, emphasizing active participation and alignment with regulatory guidelines (“No shortcuts, no passive farming”).

This proposal approves the strategic direction only. All specific implementation details require separate, subsequent DAO votes.

Background

As we prepare to launch the Guru Wizard (our upcoming platform for building and launching AI applications) and expand our suite of AI Agents and Applications, a robust economic model is paramount. This proposal formalizes the symbiotic relationship between our foundational GURU token and the new AIGURU utility token. AIGURU is designed to be the lifeblood of the AI services launched via the Wizard. Crucially, every AIGURU token starts with staked GURU, creating a direct link where ecosystem activity and the demand for AIGURU inherently drive demand for staking GURU, reducing its circulating supply and making GURU the engine of the entire Guru Network.

Proposal

We ask the DAO to review the following conceptual framework for the GURU x AIGURU system:

  1. Implement Mandatory GURU Staking for AIGURU:

    • Action: Develop the system where AIGURU is granted through staking GURU.
    • Explanation: This reinforces the core principle: To access or participate in the AI economy built via Guru Wizard, users must first stake GURU. It becomes the non-negotiable entry point.
  2. Define AIGURU as the Universal Key & Fuel:

    • Action: Establish AIGURU as the required token for core ecosystem actions and DAO decisions.
    • Explanation: AIGURU is the indispensable key to the network. It’s the utility token needed for: running AI agents (gas-free calls), activating/upgrading Nodes, launching apps/workflows via Guru Wizard, and exercising DAO governance. Every significant action is powered by AIGURU.
  3. Integrate Nodes as Contribution Pathways & GACs for Activity:

    • Action: Design the AIGURU economy incorporating Nodes and GACs.
    • Explanation:
      • Wizard Nodes as Development Epics: Frame Nodes as tangible representations of significant future development initiatives or R&D directions (akin to ‘Epics’ in project management). Activating or progressing these Nodes (Epics) will require AIGURU (derived from staked GURU), allowing the community to directly participate in specific future development areas facilitated by the Guru Wizard.
      • Guru Apps Credits (GACs): Implement GACs as non-transferable credits earned strictly through verifiable, active participation within the ecosystem apps, reinforcing the “no passive farming” ethos.
  4. Establish a Phased & Utility-Focused Rollout:

    • Action: Commit to a controlled strategy for AIGURU distribution and liquidity.
    • Explanation: Adopt a strategic approach focused on enabling utility within the Guru Wizard first, before broader market exposure, ensuring stability and reinforcing the token’s purpose.
  5. Uphold Compliance & “Workhorse” Ethos:

    • Action: Ensure the system prioritizes real use and adheres to guidelines.
    • Explanation: The framework emphasizes that GURU is not a “hold and hope” token but the engine you must engage (stake) to participate. AIGURU’s value derives from its necessity within the active AI economy. Strong hands and real utility are baked into the model.

Specifications

  • This proposal approves the conceptual framework only.
  • All operational details (staking specifics, AIGURU tokenomics, utility costs via Wizard, Node/GACs mechanics, liquidity plans, buyback details funded by real ecosystem revenue) will be detailed in separate, subsequent DAO proposals.

Pros

  • Powers the AI Economy: Provides the essential engine for Guru Wizard and the resulting apps/agents.
  • Creates Direct GURU Demand: Establishes a clear, strong link: using the AI ecosystem requires AIGURU, which requires staked GURU.
  • Community-Funded Development: Enables the community (via Nodes/AIGURU) to influence and support specific development paths.
  • Sustainable Economic Loop: Creates a cycle where activity (requiring AIGURU from staked GURU) can fund future growth and potentially reward stakers via Treasury actions (e.g., buybacks using real revenue).
  • Rewards Commitment: Benefits long-term GURU holders who actively participate by staking and using AIGURU.
  • Reduces Circulating Supply: Increased adoption via Wizard naturally leads to more GURU being staked and locked.

Cons

  • Conceptual - Execution Risk: Success depends on effectively implementing the detailed follow-up proposals.
  • Requires Clear Communication: The GURU â€ș AIGURU â€ș Utility connection needs to be thoroughly explained.
  • Complexity: The two-token system with integrated components requires careful design.
  • Adoption is Crucial: The model’s value depends on the usage and success of the Guru Wizard and the AI tools built.

Conclusion

Approving this proposal solidifies the DAO’s commitment to the GURU x AIGURU framework as the bedrock of our AI-powered economy, strategically launching with the Guru Wizard. It endorses the core principles: GURU staking is mandatory access, AIGURU is the essential key and fuel for all AI ecosystem actions, and active participation is paramount. This blueprint creates a powerful, utility-driven engine designed for sustainable growth and rewarding committed GURU holders. It’s the foundation for building a leading, community-powered AI ecosystem.

Do you approve the current proposal, establishing the strategic direction and conceptual framework for the GURU x AIGURU economic system (mandating GURU staking for AIGURU access, defining AIGURU as the essential utility/governance key for the AI economy and Guru Wizard, integrating Nodes as Development Epics, using GACs for activity rewards, and employing a phased rollout) as the foundation for subsequent detailed implementation proposals?
