RLC Token

The native cryptocurrency that powers the entire iExec decentralized confidential computing ecosystem

RLC (Run on Lots of Computers) serves as the primary medium of exchange for all interactions within the protocol, enabling users to access confidential computing services, and rewarding providers for their contributions.

🎯 What RLC Enables

RLC is essential for interacting with the iExec protocol and accessing its decentralized confidential computing services.

💰 Transparent Payment Flow

When you pay for a task execution with RLC, your payment is automatically and transparently distributed to all iExec protocol participants:

🔍 How Your RLC Payment is Distributed

1. App Provider - Gets paid for providing the confidential application

2. Protected Data Provider - Gets paid for providing access to protected confidential datasets

3. Worker - Gets paid for running the confidential computation on their decentralized machine

💡 Transparent: Payments are distributed based on pricing and conditions defined by each provider (iApp, Protected Data, Worker) in their marketplace orders.

🔒 RLC Staking: To run a task on the protocol (executing an application with protected data on a decentralized workerpool), you need to lock RLC in the protocol during the task period. In exchange, you receive sRLC (staked RLC). Once the task is completed, you can recover the RLC that wasn't consumed for the task payment.

💰 Tokenomics & Ecosystem Metrics

RLC operates on a utility-driven economic model where demand for confidential computing services drives token value:

Fixed Supply: RLC has a maximum supply of 87 million tokens, ensuring scarcity and value preservation.

Network Effects: As more users and providers join the iExec ecosystem, the demand for RLC increases, driving token value through network effects.
