Tokenomics
Bounded supply that breathes with the network.
NEN is designed as an elastic, regenerative asset: a fixed genesis supply, a hard ceiling, activity-linked emissions, and structural burns that pull supply back toward equilibrium as the network grows.
Supply model
Inspired by natural systems — bounded, responsive, regenerative.
- Genesis: 1,000,000,000 NENMinted at TGE and distributed via the allocations on the right.
- Hard ceiling: 1,500,000,000 NENAbsolute maximum supply. Cannot be exceeded under any condition.
- Regenerative mintEmissions only when verified ecosystem activity (transactions, attestations, learning completions, marketplace volume) crosses defined thresholds. Rate decays toward zero as the ceiling approaches.
- Multi-source burns0.25% of every in-network transfer; 50% of marketplace fees on Natural Energy Goods; 100% of slashed stake from misbehavior.
- Net behaviorDisinflationary in steady state; mildly inflationary only during expansion phases that demonstrably grow the network.
Supply trajectory
Conceptual — final curves set with the DAO post-audit.
Community-first distribution
~70% of supply flows to the community, ecosystem, and treasury. No private VC rounds. Vesting is fully on-chain.
- Ecosystem & community rewards40%
Earned via participation across all six platforms; multi-year emission.
- Public fair launch / LBP15%
Open, capped per-wallet, no insider rounds.
- Stewardship treasury (DAO)15%
Community-governed grants & infrastructure.
- Contributors & core team12%
4-year vest, 1-year cliff, on-chain.
- Strategic partners8%
Aligned ecosystem partners, 2-year vest.
- Liquidity provision7%
Initial DEX liquidity on Monad-native AMMs.
- Ecosystem reserve3%
Long-tail emergencies, locked 2 years.
Burn mechanics
Three independent burn sources keep supply pressure aligned with real network usage.
of every in-network NEN transfer is auto-burned at the contract level.
of fees collected on the Natural Energy Goods marketplace are burned.
of stake slashed for attestation misbehavior is burned, never recirculated.
