Emission schedule and unlocks
4.19 User Rewards emission curve
The User Rewards rail (64.35 billion INT) is released over a 15-year horizon. Daily emission is metered by a stepwise function that scales with monthly active users (MAU).
The daily emission pool grows stepwise across MAU bands (from the smallest early-stage band up to a peak band), so the pool expands as the active user base grows rather than continuously. The MAU band boundaries and the per-band daily pool values are calibrated in production and not published.
After the peak band, additional MAU growth raises per-user contribution density rather than total emission. The stepwise shape avoids cliff effects when activity oscillates near a band boundary. The User Rewards budget (64.35 billion INT) is sized for a 15-year emission horizon; early-stage bands emit well below peak, extending the effective horizon further.
4.20 Unlock schedule by rail
| Rail | Unlock mechanism | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| User Rewards (65%) | Emission curve (4.19) → locked bINT v2 movement → periodic epoch settlement → release-gated claim from distributor (4.4) | Continuous over 15 years |
| Liquidity (5%) | Initial: fully unlocked when a public trading pair opens. Reserve: community-governed | Pair launch + governed schedule |
| Airdrop (5%) | Periodic, participation-based marketing distributions | Multiple periods across years |
| Referral (5%) | Event-driven per successful invite | Ongoing |
| Staking (10%) | Released into the staking reward pool once staking activates (4.6) | Later phase, over 5-year horizon |
| Proof of Contribution (10%) | Periodic impact-scored distributions with vesting (4.13) | Multi-year vesting per recipient |
Decided unlock parameters
- Liquidity — no initial deployment amount is committed while no public trading pair is open. The venue, amount, and LP terms will be published when finalized.
- Airdrop — released over multiple periods as campaign distributions, not in a single event. For each distribution, the recipient set and calculation method are committed on-chain before tokens move. Each share is claimed without vesting through a dedicated distributor separate from the periodic user-reward settlement. Distribution sizing is published in the relevant campaign record.
- Referral — a qualifying invite triggers a unit unlock; the qualification threshold is calibrated in production and not published. No time-based vesting.
Design-space items (parameters published when finalized)
The following items are part of active token-design work. The shapes are described here; specific parameters will be published when finalized.
- User Rewards emission curve shape. The stepwise bands above set the daily ceiling. The exact transition behavior between bands and the ramp-up schedule during early growth are calibrated against observed user-growth data.
- Proof of Contribution distribution cadence. Tied to contribution metrics (volume and quality of verified Proof of Expense, leaderboard standing) at periodic snapshots. Cliff and vesting durations are policy and documented per distribution.
- Staking pool release schedule. The activation date, release schedule, and relevant conditions are published separately.
4.21 Current circulating supply
No initial circulating-supply estimate is published while no public trading pair is open. The current value is determined from an on-chain snapshot that excludes treasury, locked, and unclaimed distributor balances. The public supply page reports a value only when that snapshot is available.
