Tokenomics
Simple, fixed, and impossible to mess with after launch.
Supply
| Max supply | 21,000,000 (PROMETHIUM and $PROM share one cap) |
| Pre-mine / insiders | None — fair launch from block 1 |
| Coin issuance | mined block by block, Bitcoin-style halvings |
| Token issuance | 21M $PROM minted once on Solana, locked, released only by mining + stabilizing — released only through the Stabilization Plant |
The coin side — Promethium Chain
- SHA-256 Proof-of-Work, ~10 min blocks, halving every 210,000 blocks (~4 years).
- New PROMETHIUM only ever comes from mining. Nobody holds any at launch.
The token side — Solana
- All 21M $PROM minted once into a locked reserve.
- Mint authority revoked — no more can ever exist.
- No freeze / no blacklist — nobody can touch your $PROM.
- $PROM is released from the reserve only through the Stabilization Plant, as promethium is mined and stabilized.
Supply is conserved, not burned
Promethium that decays before stabilizing isn't destroyed — it settles into the Relief Fund and is paid out to depositors as $PROM interest. The 21M cap holds; coins simply change hands from the slow to the diligent. Decay is redistribution, not a burn.
Fees
- 2% per stabilization, in $PROM -> Syndicate fee address on Solana.
- 1 USDC via x402 per stabilization / stake / unstake -> same address.
Why trust it
- Hard cap, immutable on both sides.
- No mint, freeze, or seize after launch.
- Every $PROM traces back to real Proof-of-Work.
