# Tokenomics

### Introduction

Change Chain introduces a unique tokenomics model designed to balance network security, incentivize miners, and ensure a fair distribution of tokens over time. This document provides a detailed explanation of the token issuance schedule, including equations and tables to illustrate the mining rewards and token supply dynamics

***

### Total Token Supply

* **Total Supply (** $$S$$ **)**: 210,000,000,000,000 tokens (210 trillion)
* **Token Allocation**: All tokens are allocated for mining (Proof-of-Work). There is no pre-mine or token reserves allocated for other purposes.

## Mining and Token Issuance Schedule

### Key Parameters

**Initial Mining Period**: 60 days per cycle

**Initial Issuance (** $$M0$$ **​)**: Tokens mined in the first 60-day cycle

**Issuance Reduction Rate**: Decreases by 15% every 60 days&#x20;

**Block Time (** $$Tb$$ **​)**: 800ms

### **Blocks per Cycle (** $$Bc$$ **​)**

$$
B\_c = \frac{60 \times 24 \times 60 \times 60}{T\_b}
$$

### **Blocks per Cycle Calculation**

$$
B\_c = \frac{60 \times 24 \times 60 \times 60}{0.8} = 6,480,000 \text{ blocks}
$$

#### Determining Initial Issuance

Given that the total issuance in the first 60 days is more than 2% of the total supply and the issuance decreases by 15% every 60 days, we need to calculate $$M0$$ such that the cumulative tokens mined over infinite time do not exceed the total supply.

## **Total Tokens Mined Over Time (** $$TminedT$$ **)**

The total tokens mined over all cycles is the sum of a decreasing geometric series:

$$
T\_{\text{mined}} = \sum\_{n=1}^{\infty} M\_n = M\_0 \sum\_{n=1}^{\infty} r^{n-1} = \frac{M\_0}{1 - r}
\
$$

**Setting Total Mined Tokens Equal to Total Supply**

To ensure that the total mined tokens do not exceed the total supply (S):

$$
T\_{\text{mined}} = \frac{M\_0}{1 - r} = S
\
M\_0 = (1 - r) \times S
\
$$

#### Final Token Allocation

* **Mining Allocation**: 28,000,000,000,000 tokens (13.33% of total supply)
* **Other Allocations**: 182,00,000,000,000 tokens (86.67% of total supply)

* $$R0$$​: Initial block reward
* $$r$$: Reduction factor per cycle (r=0.85)
* $$n$$: Cycle number (starting from 1)

#### Tokens Mined per Cycle ( $$Mn$$ ​)$$M\_n = R\_n \times B\_c = R\_0 \times r^{n-1} \times B\_c$$

$$
M\_n = R\_n \times B\_c = R\_0 \times r^{n-1} \times B\_c
$$

#### Total Tokens Mined Over Time ( $$Tmined$$)

$$
T\_{\text{mined}} = \sum\_{n=1}^{\infty} M\_n = \frac{M\_0}{1 - r}
$$

#### Token Issuance Schedule per Cycle

Assuming $$M0$$ =4,200,000,000,000 tokens in the first cycle.

**Calculations:**

* **Block Reward (** $$R0$$ **​)**:&#x20;

$$
R\_0 = \frac{M\_0}{B\_c} = \frac{4.200,000,000,000}{518,400} \approx 8,101,851.85 \text{ tokens per block}
$$

* **Subsequent Block Rewards**:

$$
R\_n = 8,101,851.85 \times 0.85^{n-1}
