Hybrid Elastic Proof-of-Stake

AlstraNet's innovative consensus mechanism balances network security, validator incentives, and economic sustainability through a carefully designed token emission and burn model.

How It Works

Proof-of-Stake Foundation

Validators stake ALSTRA tokens to participate in block production and validation, with higher stakes receiving proportionally more validation opportunities.

Elastic Token Supply

New ALSTRA tokens are minted as validator rewards, following a decay model that gradually reduces emission over time (similar to Ethereum's EIP-1559).

Transaction Fee Burning

50% of all gas fees are burned, creating deflationary pressure that counteracts token emissions and maintains long-term value.

Reward Distribution

Validators earn from two sources: newly minted ALSTRA (decreasing over time) and the remaining 50% of transaction fees (increasing with network activity).

Why This Makes AlstraNet Fast & Affordable

2-Second Blocks

Our optimized validator selection process and state management enable ~2 second blocks with near-instant finality for responsive applications.

Affordable Fees

Fee burning creates a unique economic balance where transaction costs remain low while still providing sustainable rewards for validators.

Security At Scale

The dual-incentive structure ensures network security is maintained even as block rewards decrease, by aligning validator incentives with network growth.

How the Dual Token System Works

ALSTRA - The Network Token

ALSTRA serves as AlstraNet's native utility token for gas fees, staking, validator rewards, and governance. It has a fixed initial supply with controlled inflation.

Game Tokens - Flexible Economy

Game developers can create game-specific tokens for their in-game economies. These tokens are mintable according to each game's needs without affecting ALSTRA's value.

Conversion Mechanisms

AlstraNet provides built-in mechanisms for converting between ALSTRA and game tokens, enabling value exchange while maintaining economic separation.

Benefits for Stakeholders

Players

True ownership of in-game assets and currencies
Affordable transactions with minimal gas fees
Ability to trade game tokens for ALSTRA and vice versa
Participate across multiple game economies seamlessly

Developers

Complete control over in-game economy design
Ability to mint tokens according to gameplay needs
Protection from network-wide token value fluctuations
Simplified monetization and tokenomics implementation

Validators

Earn rewards from both network activity and block production
Benefit from increased adoption through game-specific tokens
Sustainable economics independent of individual game success

Real-World Use Cases
