QNET Tokenomics @AIQnetLab
Phase 1: 1DEV on Solana
Token: 1DEV (SPL Token)
• Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 1DEV
• Contract: 4R3DPW4BY97kJRfv8J5wgTtbDpoXpRv92W957tXMpump
Burn-to-Activate Model:
• Initial cost: 1,500 1DEV per node activation
• Cost decreases as more 1DEV is burned
• 300 1DEV minimum activation cost
• The same activation model applies to Light and Super nodes
Developer Holdings:
• 20% locked in vesting contracts
• Verifiable on Streamflow
• Transparent and publicly auditable
Phase 2 Transition Triggers
Activation occurs when:
• 90% of 1DEV supply is burned, OR
• 5 years pass from genesis
• (Whichever comes first)
What happens:
• Native QNC blockchain launches
• Phase 1 activated nodes retain their status
• New node activations require QNC payment
Phase 2: QNC Native Token
• Max Supply: 4,294,967,296 QNC (2^32)
• Initial Supply: 0 (no premine)
• Generation: Emission only through mining rewards
Node Activation
Two node types:
Light Nodes:
• Base activation cost: 10,000 QNC
Super Nodes:
• Base activation cost: 7,500 QNC
Activation costs change according to the number of registered nodes:
• Under 100,000 nodes: 0.5×
• 100,000-300,000 nodes: 1×
• 300,000-1,000,000 nodes: 2×
• 1,000,000+ nodes: 3×
Therefore:
Light Node:
• 5,000 QNC at 0.5×
• 10,000 QNC at 1×
• 20,000 QNC at 2×
• 30,000 QNC at 3×
Super Node:
• 3,750 QNC at 0.5×
• 7,500 QNC at 1×
• 15,000 QNC at 2×
• 22,500 QNC at 3×
Reward Distribution
One Emission Pool:
• 75% goes to Light Nodes
• 25% goes to Super Nodes and Genesis operators
• Rewards are distributed equally among eligible nodes in each category
• Rewards are generated through the scheduled emission system
Mining Rewards
Base Emission:
• 251,432.34 QNC every 4 hours
• Emission halves every 4 years
• Year 20: additional 10× reduction
• Continues with further halvings after Year 20
Example:
Years 0-4:
• 75% of emission → Light Nodes
• 25% of emission → Super Nodes / Genesis operators
The amount each node receives depends on the number of eligible nodes sharing its allocation.
Consensus Participation
For Super Nodes:
• Required to meet the network’s eligibility requirements
• Participate in block production and consensus
For Light Nodes:
• Designed for accessible participation, including mobile devices
• No server-level computing power required
• Rewards are based on network participation and eligibility
Transaction Fees
• Transaction fees are separate from mining emissions
• Fees go to the block producer
• Light Nodes do not receive transaction fees
Total Supply Evolution
Emission Schedule:
• Years 0-4: ~2.203B QNC
• Years 4-8: ~1.101B QNC
• Years 8-12: ~550.6M QNC
• Years 12-16: ~275.3M QNC
• Years 16-20: ~137.7M QNC
• Year 20: “Sharp Drop” (÷10)
• Years 20-24: ~13.8M QNC
• Years 24-28: ~6.9M QNC
• Years 28-32: ~3.4M QNC
• Years 32-36: ~1.7M QNC
• Continues with ÷2 every 4 years after Year 20
• Emission never reaches zero
• Total supply approaches the 4,294,967,296 QNC maximum
