"AlstraNet's token distribution model is designed to align incentives between validators, developers, and users while ensuring long-term sustainability of the network."

Token Mechanics & Economy

AlstraNet employs a sophisticated Hybrid Elastic Proof-of-Stake model to balance network security, validator incentives, and long-term economic sustainability.

AlstraNet Token Flow

Key Token Mechanisms

Elastic Supply

Controlled minting for validator rewards, with a burn mechanism to counteract inflation.

Transaction Fee Burning

A portion of gas fees is burned to control inflation and maintain long-term value.

Reward Decay Model

New ALSTRA minting follows a decay model similar to Ethereum's EIP-1559.

Secondary Mintable Token

Game-specific tokens can be minted by developers to support in-game economies without inflating ALSTRA.

Validator Reward Formula

AlstraNet uses a transparent formula to calculate validator rewards, balancing newly minted tokens with transaction fees and strategic burning.

R = M + F - B

R

Total Rewards per Block

The total rewards distributed to validators per block

M

Minted ALSTRA

New ALSTRA minted per block (decreases over time)

F

Transaction Fees

Total transaction fees per block

B

Burned ALSTRA

50% of gas fees are burned

Reward Decay Model

R(t) = R₀ × e^(-λt)
R(t)

Reward at time t

The reward amount at a specific point in time.

R₀

Initial Reward

The starting reward value at network launch.

λ

Decay Rate

The rate at which rewards decrease over time.

t

Time Period

The number of months since network launch.

This chart visualizes how the block rewards decrease over time according to the exponential decay model.

Why This Matters

Network Security

Sustainable rewards ensure long-term validator participation and network security.

Value Preservation

Burning mechanism and decay model counteract inflation, preserving long-term value.

Economic Balance

Hybrid system provides flexibility to adapt to network growth and changing requirements.

Validator Economics

AlstraNet's validators are the backbone of the network, securing transactions and earning rewards through a sustainable economic model that balances incentives with long-term stability.

50%

New Token Emissions

Validators receive newly minted ALSTRA tokens as rewards for block production and consensus participation.

50%

Transaction Fees

Half of all transaction fees collected on the network are distributed to validators, creating a sustainable revenue model.

Long-term Economic Balance

AlstraNet's Hybrid Elastic PoS model is designed to achieve long-term economic balance through a gradual transition from reliance on new token emissions to a fee-based system.

Emission vs. Utility Balance

As network utility and transaction volume grow, the need for new token emissions decreases, creating a sustainable economic equilibrium.

Strategic Burning

The 50% fee burn mechanism ensures that increased network activity counteracts any inflation, preserving token value as the network grows.

Growth-Adjusted Economics

The model automatically adjusts to network growth patterns, maintaining security incentives while preventing excessive inflation or reward scarcity.
