Artificial Inu
Artificial Inu (ticker AI) is a memecoin deployed on Robinhood Chain that trades directly against a tokenized version of NVIDIA Corporation's NVDA stock. Launched in July 2026, the project blends three narratives — artificial intelligence, the NVIDIA/semiconductor buildout, and Inu-style dog-coin culture — under the slogan "Long compute."[1][2]

Overview
Artificial Inu is a community-driven memecoin whose value is fundamentally driven by community sentiment and narrative rather than underlying utility.[1] Artificial Inu is deployed on Robinhood Chain, described as Robinhood's permissionless, Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 network built on Arbitrum.[8][2]
Fee Mechanism and Deflationary Design
Artificial Inu's economics are built around a trading-fee routing system that behaves differently on buys and sells. On buy transactions, fees are collected in tokenized NVDA and split 80/20: 80% is sent to the AI Community Vault, and 20% is passed through to the "original receiver," identified as the project's fee wallet.[7][8] On sell transactions, fees are collected in AI and split 50/50: half is burned permanently, reducing supply, and half is locked in the Vault and, per the project, "never sold back to market."[7][1]
The burn component is a deflationary mechanism funded by trading activity: because half of all sell-side fees are destroyed, circulating AI supply falls over time and total supply is not fixed.[1][8] The project's own vault page has reported cumulative outcomes including 8.61 million AI burned "forever," stated to equal 0.86% of supply, and a matching 8.61 million AI locked in the Vault.[9] Earlier snapshots recorded 4.3 million AI burned, described as roughly 0.43% of supply, alongside 4.3 million AI locked.[2] The project frames the arrangement in growth terms — "the Vault only goes one direction: up and to the right" — a claim presented by the project rather than independently verified.[4]
Community Vault
The AI Community Vault is a smart contract that accumulates tokenized stock tokens of companies connected to artificial intelligence and semiconductors, along with the AI tokens locked from sell fees.[2][8] The Vault holds seven tokenized assets, weighted heavily toward NVIDIA.[9]
The project describes these holdings as "real stock tokens, held forever" that belong to a community pool. Critically, it states that "$AI does not represent NVIDIA equity and holders cannot redeem Vault assets."[9] The Vault provides no mechanism for AI holders to redeem, claim, or access any share of its contents; it is an ecosystem mechanism intended to build a treasury that supports the ecosystem's value, not a redemption pool.[8][1]
