$HAVE Token
$HAVE is the native token of the DataHaven network, an AI-first decentralized storage platform secured by EigenLayer. The $HAVE token is integral to the network’s operation and value accrual and will serve several key functions, as discussed below.
Important: The $HAVE token has not yet launched, and no official contracts currently exist. Please be cautious and avoid interacting with any tokens claiming to be $HAVE, as they are not legitimate. Always refer to DataHaven’s official channels for updates.
$HAVE Utility
Staking to Secure DataHaven
Although the re-staking of Ethereum will form the bedrock of DataHaven’s crypto-economic security, the EigenLayer protocol allows for other assets to be staked/re-staked to help secure an AVS. Holders of the $HAVE token will be able to delegate stake to operators in order to participate in securing DataHaven and earn rewards. It should be noted that Moonbeam’s native token $GLMR and/or $GLMR LSTs will also be able to be staked/re-staked in a similar manner. See the $GLMR Re-Staking section below.
Payment for Execution
The $HAVE token will be the gas token for the network used to pay for computational resources and transaction fees. As with a typical EVM environment, the cost of gas will be denominated in the system token, in this case $HAVE. This means gas costs for all EVM opcodes will be priced in $HAVE, including EVM native storage opcodes, which are distinct from DataHaven’s general storage capabilities (see below). A dynamic fee mechanism will be used to prevent spam and ensure efficient use of network resources.
Storage Fees and Incentives
Aside from EVM native storage interactions (e.g. SSTORE, SLOAD), DataHaven’s integrated storage network supports decentralized, resilient, and verifiable storage of user data in a much more scalable and cost-effective way. Fees for the use of the storage network may be paid using the $HAVE token. Conversely, payments to storage network operators providing storage services may be denominated in the $HAVE token. However, a goal of the project is to have predictable storage costs and payments to operators, in fiat terms, per GB per unit of time. In order for storage providers to participate in the network and earn fees for storing data, they will be required to hold collateral denominated in the $HAVE token, which may be slashed if they lose user data, ensuring a commitment to data preservation.
Governance
The $HAVE token is central to the network’s governance, empowering stakeholders to help shape the direction of the network. Building on 3+ years of governance experience from the Moonbeam ecosystem, the protocol is designed to encourage thoughtful participation while avoiding the pitfalls of performative governance that often plague other projects.
Token holders may vote on proposals and referendums, govern data storage fees, adjust council composition, and allocate funds—all through transparent, on-chain voting. For those less inclined to participate directly, voting power may be delegated, enabling a more decentralized and active decision-making process.
While most crypto governance today suffers from low engagement and unclear outcomes, we believe in designing mechanisms that people actually want to use—and building the kind of culture where participation is meaningful, not just mechanical.
$GLMR Re-Staking
As the DataHaven network expands out of the Moonbeam ecosystem, $GLMR holders remain a key part of the story. In addition to ETH and $HAVE, the DataHaven network will be secured by re-staked $GLMR, creating a powerful bridge between the two networks. This initiative is not only designed to deepen alignment—it also creates a new utility for $GLMR holders.
Thanks to a partnership with StellaSwap, a leading DEX, $GLMR holders will be able to re-stake their tokens and earn rewards on two fronts: native staking rewards from Moonbeam and additional emissions for helping secure DataHaven. Re-staked $GLMR will be used in AVS operator selection to support the decentralized network. This means $GLMR holders can contribute to the security of a new protocol, without sacrificing their core position.
Details around the exact rates, timelines, and parameters will be released closer to launch, but the value proposition is clear: $GLMR holders get more utility and more yield while accelerating the growth of the Moonbeam-connected DataHaven ecosystem. It’s a win for the network, and a win for the community that has supported it from the beginning.

Description
Community
50.0%
DataHaven is committed to a “fair launch” model. We are allocating 50% of our token supply to the community, reflecting our belief in the importance of individual contributors and the core ethos of the web3 projects we support. These tokens will be used for three primary buckets:
1. Decentralization and Governance: A community treasury to fund initiatives, grants for developers, marketing efforts, partnerships, and other activities that benefit the ecosystem, as decided by governance.
2. Participation and Growth: Active users are the cornerstone of every project; areas of use include airdrops, staking rewards, contributor rewards, marketing campaigns, and other customer acquisition.
3. Ecosystem Development: Ecosystem grants and programs, strategic partnerships, and the general growth of DataHaven among a global audience.

Tokens held by the DataHaven Foundation for operating, R&D, and other relevant expenses to maintain network operations.
Moonbeam Foundation
10.0%
DataHaven was launched by the Moonbeam Foundation. This allocation compensates for time and expenses incurred. Importantly, DataHaven has no investors—meaning no cliffs and no traditional selling pressure. The Foundation’s allocation is structured for long-term alignment and ecosystem growth, not short-term gain.

At TGE, 11% of the total token supply will be unlocked; however, this does not mean the full amount will immediately enter public circulation. These unlocked tokens include allocations intended for community programs, grants, and operational support. Importantly, there are no hardcoded mechanisms that force these tokens into the market, nor any legal restrictions that prevent their use. This flexibility allows DataHaven to support early ecosystem development while maintaining a long-term, strategic view of token distribution.
A significant portion of this initial unlock—roughly 6%—is earmarked for a global airdrop and staking initiative, designed to bring over 100,000 participants into the network from the outset. 200 million of the total 600 million $HAVE tokens allocated to this program will go towards the staking initiative. This program ensures initial token liquidity is widely distributed, not concentrated among a small group of individuals. Recipients may benefit from staking tokens for a period of 2 to 12 months, aligning emissions and encouraging meaningful participation rather than speculation.
Taken together, these efforts reflect a “fair launch” philosophy—prioritizing transparency, broad access, and sustainable growth over short-term hype. While 11% is unlocked, only a portion is expected to circulate immediately, and all usage will be guided by what best supports the long-term health of the protocol. See the chart below for the forecasted circulating supply based on anticipated use and distribution of the tokens being unlocked during the 12 months following TGE. It is anticipated that approximately 4.5% of $HAVE tokens will enter circulation at TGE. This is expected to steadily grow to approximately 16% of $HAVE tokens entering circulation by the end of the 12 months following TGE compared with the 36% of $HAVE tokens that will actually be unlocked during the same period.
Inflation
DataHaven has the advantage of learning from what has worked well for Moonbeam. One such example is the use of a controlled inflation model, which is a necessary mechanism for growth, security, and incentivization.
Initially, the DataHaven token supply will increase at a fixed amount of 500M tokens on an annual basis (a non-compounding function) to ensure consistent rewards for validators and stakers while maintaining network security, with all emissions publicly auditable on the blockchain. Inflationary emissions are primarily directed towards staking rewards, ensuring a robust and decentralized network by incentivizing active validator participation and bolstering network security.
There are many variables that will influence reward levels for node operators and those delegating stake to them, including the number of node operators, reward weightings for each asset class, and the total value of staked assets. The fixed, yearly inflation will be adjustable via on-chain governance and the community may choose to modify the amount through a vote of token holders in order to ensure reward levels are aligned with the long-term health and security of the network.
