ASK Token
🪙 ASK Token
Introduction
ASK is the native token of the Permission ecosystem — the economic layer for a user-owned data future. It powers a new kind of internet: one where individuals are participants, not products; where AI is fueled by data that is shared intentionally, transparently, and with consent.
We’re building the infrastructure that allows anyone to contribute to — and benefit from — the next generation of intelligent systems. ASK makes that exchange real, auditable, and valuable.
It ensures:
Data use is authorized
Data owners are rewarded
Trust is verifiable
When users permission their data through the Permission Agent, ASK flows. When data is activated in downstream systems, users are compensated. That’s how we realign incentives — and put people back at the center of the internet.
Token Utility
ASK is the connective tissue between people, agents, and AI systems. It enables:
User Compensation: Individuals earn ASK when their permissioned data powers models, agents, and AI systems. Value doesn’t disappear into a black box; it returns to the source.
Agent-to-Agent Exchange: ASK fuels trusted, trackable data flows between agents and applications, with built-in consent metadata.
Ecosystem Alignment: Developers, curators, and integrators can earn or stake ASK for contributing to ecosystem growth.
Governance & Staking (future): ASK will support protocol governance, staking mechanics, and aligned network participation.
Token Supply & Allocation
ASK has a fixed supply of 100,000,000,000 tokens, with distribution designed to support long-term ecosystem health, contributor alignment, and widespread participation.
ASK unlocks over time in alignment with real-world participation and usage. Core team and advisor allocations are subject to long-term vesting. Ecosystem rewards unlock dynamically as users, agents, and experiences activate new flows of permissioned data.
See ASK Tokenomics for details.
This structure ensures that the majority of tokens support active participants — those who help build, use, and grow the Permission ecosystem.
Multichain Native
ASK is deployed as an OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) via LayerZero, enabling seamless cross-chain movement while preserving a unified supply. It is live on Stargate, supporting gas-efficient bridging and integrated liquidity.

ASK will expand to additional EVM-compatible chains in step with ecosystem demand.
A Token for the New Internet
ASK is not just a reward. It’s a right.
In an internet increasingly shaped by agents and AI, ASK ensures that human agency doesn’t get left behind. It ties data to consent, consent to value, and value to the individual.
Every time permissioned data contributes to AI intelligence, personalization, or performance, ASK enables a return to the person behind it — not through backroom deals, but through transparent, verifiable exchange.
This is how we move from extraction to participation. From opacity to provenance. From surveillance to sovereignty.
ASK is how we make it real.
