The Engine of the Decentralized Cloud
The BIG token is the multi-faceted utility asset that powers,
secures, and governs the entire BigFile ecosystem. It is designed with a dual-phase lifecycle: starting as a feature-rich ERC-20 on the Polygon PoS network to build our community and economy, and evolving into the native coin of our high-performance Layer 2 chain.
Phase 1: The Autonomous Economic Engine on Polygon
In its initial phase on Polygon, the BIG token operates a self-sustaining economy designed to reward long-term holders and ensure market stability. A 2% tax on large transactions perpetually funds two core protocol functions:
BIG token utility
- Participate in governance
- Burn for cycles
- Participate in decentralisation swaps
- Reward node machine providers
Cycles
- Stable cost of compute & storage
- Fuel storage, compute, & bandwidth
Phase 2: The Native Coin of the BigFile L2 Chain
Payment for Services
BIG will be the exclusive currency for all services on the network. Users will pay BIG to store data and rent on-demand GPU power.
Staking & Security
Providers of storage and compute will be required to stake BIG to join the network and earn rewards, securing the protocol and ensuring honest behavior.
Gas & Governance
As the native coin, BIG will be used to pay for all transaction fees (gas) on our L2. Staked BIG will also grant voting power in the BigFile DAO.
