Long-Term Tokenomics (Through 2039)
By 2039, the XPL ecosystem is projected to have moved past its high-emission growth phase into a "baseline" security model:
Inflation Decay: Validator rewards began at 5% annual inflation and decrease by 0.5% each year. By roughly 2030, the network will reach its permanent baseline inflation rate of 3%.
Burn Mechanism: To counter this 3% inflation, Plasma employs an EIP-1559 model where base transaction fees are permanently burned. The 2039 goal is for network utility (stablecoin transfers) to generate enough burn volume to reach a deflationary or neutral supply state.
Full Circulation: While team and investor tokens (25% each) will be fully unlocked by roughly late 2028, the remaining ecosystem and growth tokens (40%) follow a schedule that concludes three years after the mainnet launch. By 2039, 100% of the initial supply will be in circulation, with only the 3% annual validator rewards adding new tokens. @Plasma $XPL #Plasma
