Economic Model
Inflationary Rewards
3% annual inflation for the first 10 years provides sustainable rewards for network participants, transitioning to 0.5% long-term inflation.
Deflationary Burns
25% of platform fees are burned quarterly, along with slashed tokens, creating deflationary pressure that balances new issuance.
Economic Equilibrium
The balance between inflation and burns creates sustainable tokenomics that rewards participation while maintaining long-term value.
