token of focus in bostrom
denom: `milliampere`
## Role
$A is focus. The GPU-computed diffusion weights each [[neuron]] [[cyberlinks]] proportionally to their $A balance. More $A means greater influence over what the graph surfaces as important.
## Issuance
$A is created by the burn of $H via mint. Early $A was issued via the original investmint mechanism; all new issuance goes through mint.
| Circulating supply | ~13.9B milliampere |
| baseAmount | 100,000,000 H |
| Supply half-life | 32,000,000,000 |
## Price curve
The cost to mint 1 A grows exponentially with cumulative supply. Price doubles every 32B milliampere ever minted. The half-life is 8x larger than $V β focus gets expensive slower than writing.
## Properties
$A is not burned by cyberlinks. It remains in the neuron account and continuously weights their links in the convergence vm via diffusion.
- burn fee on moving A and V: 2% burn on every $A transfer
- [[eternal particles]] (roadmap): [[burn]] [[$A]] for permanent weight boost on a particle
