Token Allocation and Supply
XENE Max Supply
The maximum supply of XENE issued is 18,328,109,640 XENE, consisting of 12,016,589,640 XENE (~65.6%) generated at the Genesis block and 6,311,520,000 XENE (~34.4%) generated through subsequent mining.
XENE Genesis Tokens Allocation
A total of 12,016,589,640 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 PoD
The Xenea provides mining rewards to network contributors through a proprietary consensus algorithm, PoD（Proof of Democracy）.
Mining rewards are paid for contributions to consensus and for contributions to storage. The former encourages Escrow and Rep 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 6,311,520,000 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
Escrow Nodes
0.02%
Approve a transaction based on the results of Rep Nodes
Selected Rep Nodes
50% (*1)
Nodes that vote True/Not-True for each transaction
DACS Nodes
49.98% (*2)
Nodes that manage data for on-chain storage
*1 The 50% of rewards allocated to the selected Rep Nodes are further distributed as follows:
Equally divided among the five selected Rep Nodes.
Of each Rep Node’s share:
40% is distributed to Node NFT holders in proportion to their ownership share.
60% is distributed to mobile users connected to that Rep Node.
*2 The 49.98% of rewards allocated to DACS Nodes are distributed to Node NFT holders in proportion to their ownership share.
Halving
In order to control over-inflation of XENE, PoD 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 3,000 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.

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.
