FOMO (FLock Open Model Offering) is a protocol for launching, operating, and monetizing AI model deployments as real, usage-backed economic assets. It connects model deployment, inference usage, and token incentives into a single, deterministic system where value accrues only through real API consumption.

FOMO operates alongside the FLock API Platform, forming a full-cycle AI infrastructure that spans launch, hosting, usage, and long-term incentive alignment.

### System Architecture

FOMO is composed of four tightly coupled layers:

1. **Inference Layer (FLock API Platform)**

   Hosts models and serves production inference. All economic activity originates from real API calls paid in fiat or USDC.
2. **Launch Layer (Real Model Asset Offering, RMO)**

   Enables RMA (Real Model Asset) Issuers to raise $FLOCK to fund a concrete deployment. Tokens are only minted if the launch meets predefined economic thresholds.
3. **Token Layer ($FLOCK + Model Tokens)**
   * $FLOCK coordinates incentives at the network level.
   * Model Tokens ($MT) represent individual model deployments with fixed supply and direct exposure to usage-driven buybacks.
4. **Economic Engine (Revenue Routing & Emissions)**

   Routes inference revenue into deterministic buybacks, operator yield, and protocol sustainability. Bootstrap emissions are conditional on real usage and decay over time.
