13 Smart Contract Overview

PSAI Token Contract Architecture

ProSignal AI's blockchain infrastructure centers around the PSAI token, a custom ERC-20 smart contract deployed on the Base network. The contract is designed with specific features to support the platform's tokenomics while maintaining security and regulatory compliance.

Token Specifications

Core Parameters

  • Token Name: ProSignal AI

  • Symbol: PSAI

  • Standard: ERC-20 (OpenZeppelin implementation)

  • Network: Base (Ethereum Layer 2)

  • Chain ID: 8453

  • Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 PSAI (fixed supply)

  • Decimals: 18 (standard ERC-20 precision)

Contract Features

Standard ERC-20 Functionality

  • Transfer and approval mechanisms

  • Balance tracking and allowance management

  • Standard events for transparency

  • Full compatibility with existing DeFi infrastructure

Airdrop Distribution System

  • Owner-controlled token distribution for airdrop campaigns

  • Automatic transfer lock application for airdrop recipients

  • Transparent claiming process with event emission

  • Protection against unauthorized token distribution

Transfer Lock Mechanism

  • Selective transfer restrictions for airdrop recipients only

  • Global unlock capability after Token Generation Event (TGE)

  • Normal purchasers and holders maintain full transfer rights

  • Owner cannot re-lock transfers once globally enabled

Security Architecture

Access Control

The PSAI contract implements OpenZeppelin's Ownable pattern with specific limitations.

Owner Capabilities

  • Distribute airdrop tokens to eligible participants

  • Enable global transfers after TGE period (typically 24 hours)

  • Cannot mint additional tokens beyond the initial supply

  • Cannot freeze normal user transfers

  • Cannot re-lock transfers once globally enabled

User Protections

  • Only airdrop recipients face temporary transfer restrictions

  • Normal token purchasers have immediate transfer rights

  • The owner cannot arbitrarily lock user funds

  • Transfer restrictions are time-limited and transparent

All owner administrative functions are constrained to ensure the owner cannot mint tokens or arbitrarily re-lock transfers once global transfers are enabled.

Anti-Abuse Mechanisms

Airdrop Protection

  • Prevents immediate dumping of airdrop tokens

  • Allows the platform to establish initial liquidity

  • Protects early supporters from excessive selling pressure

  • Maintains token price stability during the launch phase

Transparency Features

  • All airdrop distributions emit public events

  • Transfer lock status is publicly queryable

  • Global transfer status is visible on-chain

  • Complete audit trail of all token movements

Technical Implementation

Smart Contract Functions

Core ERC-20 Operations

  • transfer(): Standard token transfers with lock checking

  • approve(): Standard allowance approval

  • balanceOf(): Query token balance

  • totalSupply(): Query total token supply

Airdrop Management

  • claimAirdrop(): Owner-only function to distribute tokens

  • enableTransfers(): Owner-only function to unlock transfers

  • canTransfer(): Public function to check transfer eligibility

  • hasTransferLock: Public mapping to check lock status

Security Validations

  • Address validation for all operations

  • Amount validation for token distributions

  • Transfer lock enforcement for restricted addresses

  • Owner permission checks for administrative functions

Event Logging

Transparency Events

PSAIEvents.sol
event TransfersEnabled(uint256 timestamp);
event TransferLockSet(address indexed account, bool locked);
event AirdropClaimed(address indexed user, uint256 amount);

These events provide complete transparency for:

  • When global transfers are enabled

  • Which addresses receive transfer locks

  • All airdrop token distributions

  • Timing of all administrative actions

Deployment Strategy

Base Network Advantages

Cost Efficiency

  • Significantly lower gas fees compared to the Ethereum mainnet

  • Faster transaction confirmation times

  • Better user experience for frequent interactions

  • Reduced barriers to entry for new users

Technical Benefits

  • Full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility

  • Seamless integration with existing Web3 tools

  • Strong security backed by the Ethereum mainnet

  • Growing ecosystem of DeFi applications

Strategic Positioning

  • Access to Coinbase's user base and infrastructure

  • Alignment with major institutional adoption

  • Future integration opportunities with Coinbase products

  • Regulatory clarity through established partnerships

Contract Verification

Security Measures

  • Open-source contract code for community verification

  • Standard OpenZeppelin libraries for proven security

  • Comprehensive testing before mainnet deployment

  • Professional audit considerations for future versions

Transparency Standards

  • Public contract address and source code

  • Verified contract on Base network explorer

  • Complete documentation of all functions

  • Clear explanation of all contract features

Token Distribution Mechanism

Airdrop Implementation

Distribution Process

1

Eligibility Verification

Backend systems verify user qualification.

2

Token Allocation

Owner calls claimAirdrop() with user address and amount.

3

Automatic Lock

Transfer lock automatically applied to recipient.

4

Event Emission

Public record of distribution created.

5

User Notification

Platform notifies user of successful claim.

Lock Management

  • Transfer locks only affect airdrop recipients

  • Normal token purchasers have immediate transfer rights

  • Global unlock occurs after predetermined period

  • Emergency unlock capability for critical situations

Treasury Management

Token Custody

  • Contract owner holds initial token supply

  • Controlled distribution prevents unauthorized access

  • Multi-signature wallet recommended for production

  • Clear separation between operational and treasury functions

Distribution Tracking

  • On-chain record of all token distributions

  • Real-time visibility into remaining treasury balance

  • Transparent allocation across different programs

  • Audit trail for compliance and reporting

Future Contract Enhancements

Planned Upgrades

Staking Integration

  • Smart contract-based staking mechanisms

  • Automated reward distribution systems

  • Lock-up periods for enhanced rewards

  • Integration with platform revenue sharing

Governance Implementation

  • On-chain voting mechanisms for platform decisions

  • Proposal submission and voting systems

  • Time-locked execution for approved proposals

  • Delegation mechanisms for governance participation

Advanced Features

  • Cross-chain bridge compatibility

  • Integration with DeFi protocols

  • Advanced tokenomics mechanisms

  • Enhanced security features

Scalability Considerations

Performance Optimization

  • Gas-efficient contract design

  • Batch operations for large distributions

  • Optimized storage patterns

  • Minimal on-chain computation requirements

Integration Capabilities

  • Standard ERC-20 interface for universal compatibility

  • Integration with major DEX platforms

  • Wallet compatibility across all major providers

  • API integration for platform features

The PSAI smart contract represents a carefully designed foundation for the ProSignal AI ecosystem, balancing security, functionality, and user experience while providing the flexibility needed for future platform growth and enhancement.
