Ah, tech. We love it. But let’s not kid ourselves — what we really love are those sweet, sweet green candles. Crypto is a delicate dance between building cool, useful stuff and, well, sending your portfolio into orbit. You come for the profits but stick around when you realize the tech is actually kinda dope.

That’s the exact dilemma we faced when thinking of ways to inject more value into Sage. So, after some heavy brainstorming (and probably too much coffee), we had a eureka moment: tokenized workflows. Sure, tokenized models have been done before — shoutout to Virtuals for leading the charge. But now, it’s time to crank things up with our own Sage-infused twist.

How Does Tokenization Work?

Here’s the deal: when you create an agent workflow in Altar — whether it’s basic, brilliant, or downright bizarre — you can tokenize it. All tokenized agents have their tokens paired with Sage in liquidity pools, locked forever, effectively burning it.

Creators who choose not to tokenize will still be able to create and use agent flows, but daily calls will be rate limited.

The outcome? Every new agent flow boosts Sage’s value, setting off a delightful deflationary flywheel.

Each tokenized flow will have its own ticker, paired with SAGE. The pool follows a bonding curve, leading to full deployment after reaching a predetermined market cap.

Agent creators can even choose whether users will need to hold agent tokens in order to access and use it, further entrenching their value in the Sage ecosystem.

From token deployers to advanced DefAI strategies, or even web2 use cases like book creators or movie makers, Sage’s agentic workflow builder offers endless possibilities.

Mint an Agent Flow NFT Representing Ownership

Oh, and it gets even better. Once your agent “graduates” from idea to fully operational workflow, an NFT is minted representing ownership of the agent. But this isn’t just some gimmicky collectible — it’s a serious asset. Holding the NFT means you own the rights to the agent’s revenue and administrative control. Want to cash out or transfer ownership? You can sell or trade the NFT at any time, turning your workflow into a liquid, revenue-generating web3 business.

This isn’t just cool — it’s powerful. It’s a new model for property rights, a blueprint for how web3 businesses can be built, owned, and exchanged. With each agent representing a tokenized slice of innovation, we’re setting the stage for an entirely new marketplace — where creativity meets liquidity, and ideas become tangible, tradable assets.

Because at the end of the day, this is what crypto is all about: building something real, generating value, and creating a future where ownership isn’t just an idea — it’s a right, secured on-chain. A system with limitless possibilities — that’s the story we are writing.

This approach creates sustained value for users and creators, helping developers to monetize next-gen workflows on Sage

Tokenization in Practice

Need an example? Of course you do, because crypto explanations are way more fun with weird niche workflows.

Picture this: you jump into Altar and design a workflow that summarizes daily news from Kazakhstan. Maybe you’re oddly passionate about potassium production (we don’t judge), and you want the workflow to create narrated images of potassium updates and email them to you every morning. Boom, you can now tokenize this masterpiece — let’s call it agent $BORAT.

Here’s where it gets juicy: these tokenized workflows (or agent flows) go into a bonding curve, a la pump.fun. Users can buy and sell agent tokens with ETH and once enough liquidity piles up, that ETH is used to buy Sage tokens from a DEX and paired to form the liquidity pool, these are then locked away forever. Bye-bye supply, hello value pump.

Agent creators get to customize the experience too. Want usage fees to buy back and burn your agent tokens? Sure! Want access to your workflow gated behind owning agent tokens? Go wild! It’s your agent, your rules.

Now, imagine hundreds of these quirky workflows popping up, each driving demand for Sage. Add that to Sage’s existing use cases, and what do you get? A glorious green candle that climbs steadily toward our collective moonshot dream.

Oh, and it gets even better. A cool 1% of each agent’s token supply is reserved for Sage token holders, distributed over time to those who stake Sage. Think of it as an eternal, agent-fueled airdrop. Pretty neat, right?

Because at the end of the day, we all want the same thing: green candles, good tech, and a story worth telling.
