5.3 Reward Mechanisms
Somnus introduces a sustainable Sleep-to-Earn (S2E) model that rewards users for verifiable sleep activity and engagement within the ecosystem. Rewards are determined through the AI Sleep Engine and verified via smart contracts based on key performance indicators:
Sleep Quality & Consistency – measured by duration, efficiency, and regularity.
Engagement & Challenges – participation in community missions and Sleep Quests.
Verification Level – higher rewards for biometric or device-verified sleep data.
Ecosystem Contribution – staking, referrals, and data-sharing initiatives.
The reward pool follows an annual halving curve to control token emission and maintain scarcity, ensuring long-term economic sustainability.
5.4 Staking & Utility
The $SOMNUS token is a multi-utility asset within the ecosystem, used to access exclusive functions and participate in governance.
Utility Use Cases:
Staking Rewards: Holders can stake tokens to earn passive rewards or governance power.
Premium Features: Access to advanced analytics, AI insights, and personalized coaching modules.
Sleep Challenges: Entry or collateral for competitive wellness campaigns.
API Access: Payment method for developers and research institutions using Sleep Graph API.
Governance Rights: Tokens represent voting weight in DAO decisions.
This ensures continuous demand and value circulation within the ecosystem — every token has practical use, not just speculative purpose.
5.5 Governance Participation
Somnus DAO empowers $SOMNUS holders to participate in the decision-making process of the ecosystem. Governance is executed via on-chain smart contracts that ensure transparency, security, and accountability.
Holders can:
Propose ecosystem or protocol upgrades.
Vote on token emission changes, partnership approvals, and treasury allocations.
Influence staking parameters and challenge reward structures.
Participate in DAO-funded research and development initiatives.
Each token equals one vote, giving every participant — regardless of scale — direct influence on the evolution of the project.

5.7 Economic Sustainability
The Somnus economic framework is carefully designed to ensure long-term equilibrium between rewards and ecosystem utility.
Key Sustainability Mechanisms:
Controlled Emission: Gradual halving schedule minimizes inflation.
Circular Utility: Tokens earned are reused for staking, governance, or API access.
DAO Treasury Reinforcement: A portion of ecosystem fees and expired rewards are redirected to the DAO fund.
Incentive Calibration: The AI Sleep Engine dynamically adjusts reward weights based on user participation and token velocity.
Liquidity Support: Dedicated pools ensure stable exchange operations and healthy market activity.
Through this model, $SOMNUS becomes the fuel of a self-sustaining, reward-driven economy, where every participant contributes to both network growth and token stability.
5.8 Summary
The $SOMNUS token is more than a digital reward — it represents ownership, participation, and purpose within the world’s first decentralized sleep intelligence ecosystem. By tying economic incentives directly to healthy behavior, data ethics, and AI-driven insight, Somnus establishes a scalable foundation for a global movement where well-being creates wealth.
