Token Allocation and Supply

XENE Max Supply

The maximum supply of XENE issued is 1,832,810,964 XENE, consisting of 1,201,658,964 XENE (~65.6%) generated at the Genesis block and 631,152,000 XENE (~34.4%) generated through subsequent mining.

XENE Genesis Tokens Allocation

A total of 1,201,658,964 XENE will be issued in the Genesis block.

The team has decided to announce the Genesis token allocation and lockup schedule shortly before official mainnet release.

If any token contribution is required during the mainnet beta phase, it will be made from the team's originally envisioned allocation for ecosystem growth.

Mining XENE with VPoW

The Xenea provides mining rewards to network contributors through a proprietary consensus algorithm, VPoW (Voting Proof of Work).

Mining rewards are paid for contributions to consensus and for contributions to storage. The former encourages escrow and voting nodes to accelerate network decentralization and enhance security. The latter encourages DACS node operators to store data for extended periods of time with responsibility.

Mining for XENE will begin with the mainnet launch of the Xenea. The token quantity allocated for mining rewards is 631,152,000 XENE, where no additional tokens will be issued.

Mining Rewards Distribution Ratio

There will be multiple nodes supporting the Xenea. Mining rewards are allocated to each node as each block is generated every minute. The distribution ratio of mining rewards is as follows:

Table 3: Mining Rewards Distribution Ratio

Node Type	Distribution Ratio	Description
Escrow Nodes	12%	Approve a transaction based on the results of Voting Nodes
Voting Nodes	8%	Nodes that vote True/Not-True for each transaction
DACS Nodes	80%	Nodes that manage data for on-chain storage

Halvings

In order to control over-inflation of XENE, VPoW block rewards of XENE will have a half-life of every two years. For the first two years after mainnet launches, block rewards generated per minute is 300 XENE and will be halved every two years thereafter; mining of XENE will continue until all 631,152,000 XENE allocated as mining rewards have been mined and issued.

The following table displays the amount of XENE generated in the first 10 years of the Xenea mainnet since its inception, which will exhaust 96.88% of total block rewards.

*The year is calculated as 365.25 days, taking into account the current leap year (2024).

XENE Burning Mechanism

Some of the gas fees collected by the network may be burned through future changes, in which case XENE may become deflationary.
