POLYX Tokenomics

POLYX is used for paying transaction fees as well as a whole range of other functions related to the network’s operations, such as signalling on governance proposals or staking on node operators. With these functions tied together, an ecosystem emerges on Polymesh with the network protocol token POLYX at the centre.

POLYX Supply

The POLYX supply approaches an asymptotic limit, with new POLYX tokens created based on an algorithmic supply schedule. To learn more, see the Polymesh whitepaper.

Newly Minted POLYX

Newly minted POLYX will be created for block rewards with a maximum of 14% of the total supply minted annually. To prevent continuous acceleration of inflation, the amount of newly minted POLYX used for rewards will be fixed at 140 million annually once the supply reaches 1 billion POLYX.
