FunnAI, the decentralized AI protocol operating on the Internet Computer blockchain, is gearing up for a one-time “FUNNAI Bonfire” event on December 5, 2025, at 8 AM PT. The event gives FUNNAI token holders the opportunity to burn their tokens to fuel mAIners, the protocol’s AI agents, through the Proof-of-AI-Work (PoAIW) system, which replaces traditional Proof-of-Work with AI-powered computation.
Tokens will be burned at a rate of 0.08 trillion cycles per FUNNAI. This rate is slightly below the 0.1 trillion cycles previously favoured by 78% of the community in earlier votes, sparking discussion about whether the adjusted rate will influence participation levels. The burned tokens are converted into cycles that power mAIners, which carry out tasks including data processing, AI training, and other network operations, making the protocol more efficient and decentralised.
Previous Bonfire events in September 2025 saw a rapid depletion of cycle allocations, with thousands of FUNNAI tokens consumed in a matter of hours. These events highlight both the enthusiasm of the community and the potential impact on token supply and network activity.
Developed by OnicAI, FunnAI is experimenting with token economics as a mechanism to allocate computational resources in a decentralised manner. By integrating AI into blockchain operations, the protocol allows users to directly participate in powering network infrastructure while reducing token supply, effectively combining community governance with technical innovation.
The December event is expected to draw strong participation, as token holders look to contribute to the network and optimise the efficiency of mAIners. Observers will be watching to see if the lower burn rate affects engagement compared to prior Bonfires and how the cycles generated will support the PoAIW network over the coming months.
