TONCOIN (TON) टोकन का अर्थशास्त्र

The Open Network (TON) utilizes Toncoin as its native cryptocurrency to power a decentralized, high-throughput blockchain ecosystem. The tokenomics are designed to balance network security, scalability, and long-term sustainability through a combination of inflationary rewards and deflationary burn mechanisms.

Issuance Mechanism

Toncoin was launched with an initial total supply of 5 billion tokens. The network currently employs a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus model where new tokens are progressively minted to reward validators for securing the network.

• Annual Inflation Rate: The network has a fixed annual inflation rate of 0.60%.
• Block Subsidies: New tokens are sourced from this inflation to subsidize block creation. The subsidy is 1.7 TON for each masterchain block and 1 TON for each basechain block.
• Total Supply: As of November 22, 2023, the total supply increased to approximately 5.09 billion TON due to these emissions.
• Reward Pool: The total reward pool for validators per validation cycle (which lasts approximately 18 hours) is roughly 40,000 TON.

Allocation Mechanism

The distribution of Toncoin has transitioned from a unique mining phase to a predominantly staked and circulating supply.

• Initial Distribution (POW Givers): Approximately 96.66% of the total supply (4.92 billion TON) was originally pre-mined and placed into "Proof-of-Work (POW) Giver" smart contracts. Users acquired these tokens by solving computational puzzles. These pools were fully depleted by June 2022.
• Current Distribution: As of late 2023, the circulating supply was approximately 3.45 billion TON (69% of the total supply).
• Concentration: A significant portion of the supply is held by a small number of wallets. The top ten wallets cumulatively hold approximately 3.14 billion TON (62.80% of the total supply), with the top three wallets each controlling over 10% of the circulating supply.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

Toncoin serves several critical functions within the ecosystem to incentivize participation and manage resources:

Deflationary Mechanism

In mid-2023, a real-time burn mechanism was implemented. The network now burns 50% of all transaction and storage fees. While the newly issued coins from inflation remain constant, this mechanism reduces the circulating supply as network activity increases.

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

The TON ecosystem provides tools for both community-led locking and formal vesting for contributors.

• The Locker: A smart contract that allows users to lock their coins for an extended period. This contract can be configured to provide rewards in exchange for the locking action, encouraging long-term alignment with the protocol.
• Vesting Toolkits: Development teams utilize a specific vesting wallet toolkit to manage the release of tokens over time.
• Staking Requirements:
  • Validators: Must self-stake or receive nominations for a minimum of 300,000 TON.
  • Nominators: Must stake a minimum of 10,000 TON to participate in a validator's pool.
• Slashing: To incentivize honest behavior, validators can be penalized (slashed) 101 TON for idle or malicious activity.
