$SKY is the economic engine that powers the entire Skynet ecosystem and rewards everyone who contributes to making autonomous agents mainstream.

#### **🔄 The $SKY Flywheel**

**How Value Flows Through the Ecosystem:**

**PAY/STAKE** → Users pay $SKY to create premium agents, or stake $SKY for free access with limits

**EARN** → Successful agents generate $USDC revenue through ACP → Platform takes a small revenue share

**SCALE** → Agent success stories attract more builders → Increased demand for $SKY tokens and platform tools

**UPGRADE** → Platform revenue funds $SKY buybacks → Tool creators earn $SKY for every usage of their integrations

This creates a **self-reinforcing cycle** where success breeds more success. Every profitable agent makes the platform more valuable, which attracts more builders, which creates more successful agents. It's a flywheel that gets stronger with each turn.\
