Why 1 Trillion Coins?
Circular's ecosystem features 1 trillion CIRX tokens, tailored to its unique multi-chain infrastructure. As new blockchains are added (both public and private), a portion of these tokens is allocated for their operation.
The decision to have 1 trillion CIRX tokens was driven by practical considerations. This quantity ensures ample supply for diverse blockchain operations without resorting to excessively fractional values (with more than 18 decimal numbers). This simplifies transactions and aids in clear calculations within the network.
Moreover, this supply balances coin quantity with the cost of blockchain provisioning, allowing users to transact with larger, more manageable numbers.
Designed for long-term sustainability, this fixed supply of 1 trillion CIRX is projected to support network growth over the next 30 years, aligning with anticipated blockchain additions. Importantly, Circular maintains a fixed CIRX supply, with no future issuance planned.
Coin Utility & Use Cases
CIRX will be used as the native coin on the Circular platform, to pay for transactions and rewards.
CIRX will be required to vote on development/improvements and settings of the network (excludinf fees pricing).
CIRX will be used to reward nodes and users.
Economics
A halving schedule will be implemented, reducing the reward for certain actions on the platform (such as staking or minting) by half at set intervals. This will create a predictable reduction in the rate of coin issuance over time, increasing the perceived value of each coin.
The more CIRX coins a user holds, the greater their voting power will be in governance decisions.
Vesting Schedule
