BCC Tokenomics

PreviousBlokista Token (BCC)NextExchanges, Wallets, On-Ramps and DeFi Tools Supporting BCC

Last updated 2 years ago

Currently, the BCC token supply is set to follow a mildly inflationary model.

With each new block created every 5 seconds on Blokista, the validator who creates it, and the delegators who staked with them, receive the block rewards in newly issued BCC tokens. This is designed to secure the network's .

The reward amount per block is currently set such that every year, the BCC total supply increases by approximately 5%.

The main reason for choosing an inflationary model at the early development stage was to ensure a certain predictability of the flow of revenue for network validators and delegators. If they had to exclusively rely on transaction fees as the reward for staking BCC and validating, it would be harder for them to predict their future returns, as transaction activity on the network can fluctuate a lot. The relative predictability of validator revenue is an important assumption behind the blockchain consensus theory on which the Blokista consensus mechanism is based.

Having substantial block rewards also makes it possible to keep transaction fees on the network low, facilitating adoption of Blokista.

Potential inflation reduction

A Blokista Improvement Proposal aimed at reducing the BCC inflation is currently under discussion by the community. If adopted by the validators, it will result in an annual inflation rate of 2% for third year of the network's existence and a fixed amounts of tokens issued in the subsequent years.
