📘 Helix (HLIX) Tokenomics
🔢 Core Parameters
- Ticker: HLIX
- Total Initial Supply: 500,000,000 HLIX
- Initial Distribution:
- Premine: 1% = 5,000,000 HLIX
- Proof of Work (PoW): 2% = 10,000,000 HLIX
- Proof of Stake (PoS): 97% = 485,000,000 HLIX
⛓️ Consensus Model
- Hybrid PoW/PoS: HLIX uses a dual consensus mechanism combining Proof of Work and Proof of Stake.
- Purpose of PoW:
- Ensures reliable and consistent block production.
- Acts as a safeguard for network integrity and censorship resistance.
- Ongoing and permanent, not a transitional phase.
- Purpose of PoS:
- Provides the vast majority of initial coin distribution.
- Encourages long-term holding and network participation through staking rewards.
💰 Supply Mechanics
- Max Coin Supply:
- Not capped at 500,000,000 HLIX.
- The initial distribution was capped, but due to the perpetual PoW mining rewards, HLIX is mildly inflationary.
- Inflation Mechanism:
- Driven solely by PoW rewards post-initial distribution.
- Inflation is very slight and designed to:
- Incentivize miners.
- Sustain block production.
- Compensate for lost coins (e.g., lost keys, unclaimed stakes).
- The PoS component does not contribute to inflation beyond the initial 485M HLIX distributed.
- Maturity: 50 confirmations are required for transaction finality or reward maturity.
🚫 ICO and Launch Details
- ICO: None conducted.
- Premine:
- 5,000,000 HLIX (1%)
- Used for development, ecosystem seeding, or exchange listings as appropriate.
- Fair Launch Model: The absence of an ICO and the transparent premine allocation support a fairer and more decentralized launch profile.
🧮 Summary Table
| Aspect | Value |
|---|---|
| Total Initial Supply | 500,000,000 HLIX |
| Max Supply | Unlimited (due to PoW inflation) |
| Premine | 1% = 5,000,000 HLIX |
| PoW Allocation | 2% initial + ongoing minor inflation |
| PoS Allocation | 97% = 485,000,000 HLIX |
| Consensus | Hybrid: Proof of Work + Proof of Stake |
| PoW Status | Permanent, for block production |
| PoS Status | Core mechanism for initial distribution |
| ICO | None |
| Maturity | 50 confirmations |
🧭 Design Rationale
- The slight, controlled inflation via PoW ensures HLIX remains sustainable long-term, incentivizing miners to secure the chain.
- The heavily front-loaded PoS distribution maximizes fairness while encouraging community participation from the start.
- This hybrid design supports both technical robustness and economic fairness.
