TechFlow news, on December 24, Sonic Labs posted on X stating that it is upgrading the tokenomics based on the successful governance proposals from Fantom, including an airdrop of approximately 200 million S tokens.
At launch, S will have a circulating supply of about 2.88 billion and an initial total supply of 31.75 billion, allowing migration at a 1:1 ratio;
Six months after launch, the network will utilize a unique 9-month linear burn mechanism to mint 6% of the initial total supply to extend the airdrop program, rewarding users and developers;
In addition, six months after launch, the network will begin minting 1.5% of the initial total supply annually over a 6-year period to fund growth, with unused S tokens burned each year to ensure efficient utilization; starting four years after launch, the network will annually mint 1.75% to permanently reward validators.
All unused ecosystem growth tokens will be audited and burned annually. By 2031, the maximum expansion cap for S will be 15% (excluding block reward emissions), during which various burn mechanisms are expected to significantly reduce the expansion rate.
