# Relationship with PUAI

Pumpad introduces a **dual-token architecture**, designed to separate long-term governance power (PUAD) from rapid utility consumption (PUAI). This model ensures transparency, scalability, and balance between growth and sustainability.

| Functional Layer | PUAD (Platform Governance Token)           | PUAI (AI Consumption Token)                   |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------- |
| Core Role        | Utility, permissions, identity, governance | AI engine access, task execution, burn-on-use |
| Token Nature     | Long-term holding, carries governance      | Disposable, no voting rights, short-lived     |
| Supply Model     | Fixed: 1B PUAD                             | Elastic: mint-to-burn                         |
| Burn Mechanism   | Not designed for regular burning           | Auto-burned on each AI/task interaction       |
| Pricing Model    | Market-based + DAO adjusted                | Usage-driven, dynamic pricing                 |
| Access Rights    | Unlocks features, plugins, identities      | Executes real-time AI and mission logic       |

**🔁 Coordinated Interaction**

1. **PUAD unlocks access** to premium modules, AI plugin dashboards, and mission tooling.
2. **PUAI fuels real-time use** — every AI call (text generation, task logic, model activation) consumes PUAI.
3. **Incentives are hybridized** — high-volume plugin devs can earn both PUAD (platform rewards) and PUAI (usage revenue).
4. **Future conversion layer** between PUAD → PUAI will allow temporary balance top-up without friction.

**✅ Model Advantages**

* Lowers operational friction for AI services
* Prevents platform token dilution via high-frequency use
* Creates **clear economic signaling**: PUAD = rights, PUAI = fuel
* Enables parallel growth of governance layer and consumption engine
