Supply and Emission
DraftStatus: Draft Version: 0.2.0 Last Updated: 2026-06-05 Owner: Axodus Tokenomics
Purpose
Supply and emission define how $Neurons can be created, limited, burned, and reported.
Supply
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Supply policy | Pending approved public disclosure |
| Decimals | 18 |
| Initial emission | Defined at deploy or contract configuration |
| Future emission | Only through authorized minting |
| Unlimited inflation | No |
| Supply cap enforcement | Yes |
Emission Model
$Neurons uses controlled minting. Emission depends on:
- valid cryptographic authorization;
- unused nonce;
- amount within the per-transaction limit;
- user within the daily limit;
- cooldown compliance;
- available supply within approved contract and policy limits.
Mint Validity Formula
Valid mint =
valid signature
+ unused nonce
+ amount <= 100 $Neurons
+ user daily minted amount <= 1,000 $Neurons
+ cooldown respected
+ totalSupply + amount <= approved supply policy limitEconomic Limits
| Parameter | Value | Economic effect |
|---|---|---|
| Supply policy limit | Pending approved public disclosure | Prevents unauthorized issuance beyond approved limits |
| Maximum per transaction | 100 | Prevents large single-operation mint events |
| Maximum per user per day | 1,000 | Limits individual daily distribution |
| Cooldown | 1 hour | Reduces spam and automation abuse |
| Nonce | Unique per authorization | Prevents proof reuse |
| PoK authorization | Required | Ties minting to verifiable eligibility |
Distribution Status
The current documentation does not define a fixed distribution among team, investors, advisors, treasury, liquidity, or public sale participants.
| Distribution type | Status |
|---|---|
| PoK-authorized mint | Supported by draft model if implementation is verified |
| Campaign distribution | Supported by draft model through authorizations if implementation is verified |
| Controlled airdrop | Supported by draft model through authorized minting if implementation is verified |
| Participation rewards | Supported by draft model if implementation is verified |
| Team vesting | Not defined |
| Public sale | Not defined |
| Staking rewards | Future |
| DAO treasury | Future |
| DEX liquidity | Requires review |
Burn
Burn support is part of the architecture. Burn mechanics must be described as supply reduction behavior only. They must not be framed as price support or token appreciation guarantees.
Risk Considerations
Supply risk includes unauthorized mint attempts, replay attacks, excessive issuance, automation abuse, admin compromise, cross-chain accounting errors, and mismatch between documentation and deployed contracts.
Draft Boundary
This page describes a draft/candidate emission model. It does not approve final allocations, public sale mechanics, DEX liquidity policy, staking rewards, treasury distribution, investment expectations, or production token launch status.
