15. Tokenomics and Distribution Model
15.1 Overview
The Mondoshawan Protocol implements a 100% fair launch model designed for maximum transparency, decentralization, and community ownership. This model completely eliminates presales, team allocations, and VC tokens—prioritizing community-driven token distribution through mining.
Key Principles:
- 100% Fair Launch: All 10 billion QMON generated exclusively through mining.
- 0% Team Allocation: No tokens reserved for the team—everyone mines equally.
- 0% Presale or Pre-mine: No tokens sold or allocated before or during launch.
- 0% VC Allocation: No tokens allocated to venture capitalists.
- 10 Billion Max Supply: A hard cap ensures scarcity and predictable tokenomics.
- Deflationary Model: Constant emission with decreasing inflation rate over time.
15.2 Token Generation Model
15.2.1 Mining-Based Generation (Fair Launch)
The sole mechanism for token generation is block mining. 95% of the total QMON supply is created as rewards for miners who successfully validate blocks across the three mining streams.
Generation Process:
Block Creation → Token Generation → Reward Distribution
Stream-Specific Generation:
- Stream A (ASIC): 50 QMON per block, 10-second intervals
- Stream B (CPU/GPU): 25 QMON per block, 1-second intervals
- Stream C (ZK Proofs): 0 QMON per block (fee-based only), 100-millisecond intervals
Daily Generation:
- Stream A: ~432,000 QMON/day (50 × 8,640 blocks)
- Stream B: ~2,160,000 QMON/day (25 × 86,400 blocks)
- Stream C: Transaction fees only (no block rewards)
- Total: ~2,592,000 QMON/day from block rewards
Fair Launch Percentage: 100% of the total supply is generated through mining, ensuring the fairest possible distribution.
15.3 Total Supply and Distribution
15.3.1 Max Supply Cap
Total Supply: 10,000,000,000 QMON (10 billion)
Hard Cap Rationale:
- Creates a predictable and finite supply, fostering scarcity.
- Provides a clear value accrual mechanism for long-term holders.
- Builds investor confidence through a transparent supply schedule.
Supply Schedule:
- Year 1: ~946 million QMON (9.5% of cap)
- Year 2: ~1.89 billion QMON (18.9% of cap)
- Year 5: ~4.73 billion QMON (47.3% of cap)
- Year 10: ~9.46 billion QMON (94.6% of cap)
- Post-Cap: No new block rewards; miners are compensated through transaction fees only.
15.3.2 Distribution Breakdown
Total Distribution:
- Mining Rewards: 10,000,000,000 QMON (100%) - Generated via fair launch mining.
- Team Allocation: 0 QMON (0%) - No team tokens.
- Presale: 0 QMON (0%) - No presale.
- VC Allocation: 0 QMON (0%) - No venture capital tokens.
15.4 Fair Launch Model
15.4.1 Fair Launch Principles
The Mondoshawan Protocol implements a 100% fair launch model—the fairest distribution model possible, matching Bitcoin's original vision.
Fair Launch Components:
- ✅ 100% Mining-Based: All 10 billion QMON are generated through mining, accessible to everyone.
- ✅ 0% Presale or Pre-mine: Ensures equal opportunity for all participants from day one.
- ✅ 0% Team Allocation: The team earns tokens the same way as everyone else—by mining.
- ✅ 0% VC Allocation: No venture capital tokens—true decentralization.
- ✅ Equal Opportunity: Anyone with the appropriate hardware can mine and earn tokens.
- ✅ Transparent: All token generation is public and verifiable on-chain.
15.4.2 Fair Launch Comparison
| Project | Pre-mine/Team % | Fair Launch % | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | 0% | 100% | The original fair launch model. |
| Mondoshawan | 0% | 100% | Matching Bitcoin's fair launch standard. |
| Ethereum | ~12% | 88% | Pre-mine for early contributors. |
| Solana | ~50% | ~50% | Heavy VC allocation. |
| Typical L1 | 20-65% | 35-80% | Often includes large VC and team allocations. |
15.5 Development Funding
15.5.1 No Team Allocation
Unlike most blockchain projects, Mondoshawan has zero team allocation. The core team earns tokens the same way as any other participant—through mining. This ensures complete alignment with the community.
Why 0% Team Allocation?
- True Decentralization: No insiders with unfair advantages.
- Community Trust: Demonstrates long-term commitment to fairness.
- Bitcoin Model: Following the most successful fair launch in history.
- Aligned Incentives: Team success depends on protocol success.
15.5.2 Protocol Development
Development is funded through:
- Team Mining: Core developers mine like everyone else.
- Community Contributions: Open-source development model.
- Future Ecosystem Fund: Potential governance-approved treasury.
15.6 Emission Schedule
15.6.1 Block Rewards (Current)
Current Emission Model:
- Stream A: 50 QMON per block (10-second blocks)
- Stream B: 25 QMON per block (1-second blocks)
- Stream C: 0 QMON per block (fee-based only)
- Daily Emission: ~2,592,000 QMON
- Annual Emission: ~946,080,000 QMON
Inflation Model:
Mondoshawan uses a constant emission model with naturally decreasing inflation:
- Year 1: ~100% inflation (946M new / ~0 existing)
- Year 2: ~50% inflation (946M new / ~1.9B existing)
- Year 5: ~20% inflation
- Year 10: ~10% inflation
Future Considerations: Halving mechanisms may be implemented via governance vote.
15.7 Token Utility
15.7.1 Primary Uses
1. Transaction Fees: Pay for blockchain transactions
2. Smart Contract Gas: Execute EVM smart contracts
3. Mining Rewards: Incentivize network security
4. Governance (Future): Vote on protocol changes
5. Staking (Future): Potential staking mechanism
15.7.2 Value Drivers
- Network Security: Mining rewards incentivize participation
- Transaction Demand: Fees create demand for QMON
- Smart Contract Usage: Gas fees drive utility
- Scarcity: Max supply cap and halving create scarcity
- Utility: Essential for using the network
