Staking to access the inference is the core utility of \$VVV. To activate it \$VVV must be staked. VVV stakers receive (a) a pro-rata share of Venice's free API inference capacity, so \$VVV acts as a kind of discount token for the product (b) 80–100% of programmed VVV emissions. These emissions serve a dual economic function: (1) a yield stream that can be interpreted as a form of cashflow to stakers; (2) an increase in the staker's relative share of total supply, expanding their future claim on free inference capacity versus non-stakers. The \$DIEM minting option is a subset of free inference access function, tokenizing the determined free amount of usage and allowing it to be used as an asset in DeFi.
The Yield-Bearing Staking Token sub-VCM is structured around staking and the depreciation-offsetting proportional allocation of a part of the total regular emissions to staked token holders. THe value is captured by additionally incentivising token staking by diminishing the loss incurred by price volatility whilst the tokens are locked. This model allows stakers to either utilize their allocated API access or trade it.
