Tokenomics & Utility

Supply and migration

The original AI16Z token had a maximum supply of about 1.1 billion tokens, according to its 2025 white paper. Its economic purpose was tied to the DAO concept: holders could participate in the community’s direction, while the token also served as a way to transfer value within the project’s activities. The white paper described access and fee-related uses on the auto.fun agent platform during that period. Those descriptions belong to the original project model, before the later token migration and foundation closure. (assets-cms.kraken.com)

The move to ELIZAOS was more than a ticker change. It created a successor token with a separate mint address and offered a 1:6 conversion under the migration arrangements. For example, an eligible balance of 100 AI16Z corresponded to 600 ELIZAOS under that ratio. Kraken’s exchange process used a November 11, 2025 snapshot to determine eligibility for its customers; other platforms published their own handling of the swap. The number of tokens in a wallet therefore needs to be read alongside the token’s name and mint address. (support.kraken.com)

AI16Z token ownership also differed from owning part of the open-source code. The framework could be downloaded and developed as software. Its continued development does not, by itself, create a new role for the original token. (github.com)
