Token Utility & Value Drivers
The $POP token powers Zypher Network as both the operational fuel and the economic backbone of its Proof of Prompt (PoP) verification system. Its design ensures that every core function of the network is directly tied to sustainable token demand and long-term value.
Verification Incentives (Proof Mining & PoVW): Verification nodes execute zkPrompt tasks and generate zkProofs to earn $POP. This establishes a decentralized Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW) model, where security verification itself becomes a compensated form of work. As the number of Agents and verification tasks grows, demand for $POP scales proportionally, making it the engine of network security and activity.
User Interaction Rewards & Crowdsourced Security: Regular users contribute by scoring Agents, tagging anomalies, and submitting feedback via the AI Security Browser, earning $POP in return. This creates a crowdsourced security consensus, where every interaction strengthens network reliability. With the rise of AI Agents in financial and compliance-critical use cases, the need for collective trust validation will only intensify, driving sustained participation.
Agent Security Certification & Enterprise Payments: $POP serves as the base asset for accessing the Proof of Agent Certificate Marketplace, enabling on-chain certifications, audit reports, and custom scoring services. For Web2/Web3 enterprises, API/SDK-based security audits — such as prompt verification and anomaly reporting — are billed and settled in $POP. This provides a stable commercial revenue stream as enterprises seek verifiable compliance for AI systems.
DAO Governance & Trust Layer Binding: Upon Zypher DAO’s launch, $POP will be the sole governance credential, granting holders proposal and voting rights. Governance weight is determined by token holdings, embedding $POP into the decision-making process for incentive models, risk-scoring standards, and system parameters. This binds token value to the long-term stewardship of Zypher’s trust layer, encouraging both holding and active participation.
Ecosystem Bootstrapping & Market Growth: Zypher provides certification primitives and infrastructure for emerging AI Agent projects, which can bootstrap their own tokens using $POP as the settlement or staking layer. This creates downstream demand across the ecosystem. At the same time, the AI Agent market is projected to reach $250–350 billion by 2035, with Agents becoming core to financial transactions, content generation, and legal compliance. Zypher’s role as the first protocol focused on Agent-layer verification positions $POP as the canonical trust currency for this rapidly expanding economy.
