Sitting with my morning notes, I considered how holding an asset long-term requires thought about incentives and dilution. Plasma’s $XPL starts with a ten billion supply, allocated across ecosystem, team, and sale portions with gradual vesting. Staking secures the network through proof-of-stake, earning rewards that begin at five percent inflation tapering toward three percent, balanced by fee burns. Delegation will eventually open wider participation. However volatility in token price can erode staking returns, and slower-than-expected adoption might leave inflation as net dilution.
These mechanics invite reflection on patience, as true alignment between usage and rewards tends to reveal itself over seasons rather than overnight.
