# Artificial Inu

> Artificial Inu (AI) is a Robinhood Chain memecoin paired with Robinhood’s tokenized NVDA stock token, using trading fees to build a Community Vault of tokenized tech stocks while burning and locking parts of its own supply.

**Artificial Inu** (ticker **AI**) is a [memecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/memecoins) deployed on [Robinhood Chain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/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."[\[1\]](#cite-id-l3azz09zwe)​[\[2\]](#cite-id-vb9ss5a5pn)​

## Overview

Artificial Inu is a community-driven memecoin whose value is fundamentally driven by community sentiment and narrative rather than underlying utility.[\[1\]](#cite-id-l3azz09zwe) Artificial Inu is deployed on [Robinhood Chain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/robinhood-chain), described as Robinhood's permissionless, Ethereum-compatible [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) network built on [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum).[\[8\]](#cite-id-a42g6bybtj)​[\[2\]](#cite-id-vb9ss5a5pn) 

## 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.[\[7\]](#cite-id-t7okxqqvti)​[\[8\]](#cite-id-a42g6bybtj) 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."[\[7\]](#cite-id-t7okxqqvti)​[\[1\]](#cite-id-l3azz09zwe)​

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.[\[1\]](#cite-id-l3azz09zwe)​[\[8\]](#cite-id-a42g6bybtj) 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.[\[9\]](#cite-id-wof48yxnqz) Earlier snapshots recorded 4.3 million AI burned, described as roughly 0.43% of supply, alongside 4.3 million AI locked.[\[2\]](#cite-id-vb9ss5a5pn) 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.[\[4\]](#cite-id-smcet62dhc)​

## Community Vault

The AI Community Vault is a [smart contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) that accumulates tokenized stock tokens of companies connected to artificial intelligence and semiconductors, along with the AI tokens locked from sell fees.[\[2\]](#cite-id-vb9ss5a5pn)​[\[8\]](#cite-id-a42g6bybtj) The Vault holds seven tokenized assets, weighted heavily toward NVIDIA.[\[9\]](#cite-id-wof48yxnqz)​

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."[\[9\]](#cite-id-wof48yxnqz) 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.[\[8\]](#cite-id-a42g6bybtj)​[\[1\]](#cite-id-l3azz09zwe)​
