TechFlow news, October 15 — Sonic Labs released a Litepaper stating that to scale Sonic to new levels, the team is introducing tokenomics based on a successful community governance proposal. Key points include:
- At official launch, S will have a circulating supply of approximately 2.88 billion and a total supply of 3.175 billion, comparable to FTM's supply.
- Six months after launch, the network will allocate 6% of the initial total supply for an airdrop rewarding Opera and Sonic users, with vesting completed within nine months after the airdrop.
- Six months after launch, the network will mint 1.5% of the initial total supply annually over six years to fund growth, and any unused tokens will be burned.
- Starting four years after Sonic's launch, the annual inflation rate will be set at 1.75% to reward validators.
