Economics of the Coin ​
The Xian blockchain introduces a unique economic model centered around its native coin, with a maximum supply of 111 ,111 ,111 $XIAN minted at genesis.
What follows is a fixed snapshot (17 Jun 2025) of how that supply is currently allocated; it will not be updated further in this document.
The ≈ 937.258 $XIAN difference between the maximum supply and the table below has already been permanently burned by the protocol’s 1 % gas-burn mechanic.
Current Supply Allocation ​
| Allocation | Tokens | % of Max* |
|---|---|---|
| Validator DAO Treasury | 48 409 053.545 | 43.57 % |
| Validator DAO Vesting | 38 022 158.645 | 34.22 % |
| Team Locker | 5 364 311.556 | 4.83 % |
| Team Vesting | 4 243 545.003 | 3.82 % |
| Circulating (Live) | 15 071 104.993 | 13.56 % |
| Total in Existence | 111 110 173.742 | 99.16 % |
| Burned so far | ≈ 937.258 | 0.84 % |
| Maximum Supply | 111 111 111 | 100 % |
*Percentages rounded to two decimals.
Notes on Allocation ​
- Validator DAO (Treasury + Vesting) controls ≈ 77.8 % of supply to fund governance and ecosystem growth.
- Team tokens are split between a locked tranche and a vesting schedule, aligning incentives with network success.
- Circulating supply starts at ~13.6 % and will decrease gradually as ongoing burns outpace fresh unlocks.
Transaction Fees (Stamps) ​
Every transaction pays a stamp fee that is automatically divided:
- 68 % → Contract developer
- 30 % → Validators
- 1 % → Burn (deflationary)
- 1 % → Foundation wallet
All ratios can be modified through on-chain validator governance.
Incentive Alignment ​
- Developers earn recurring revenue, encouraging innovative, high-quality dApps.
- Validators secure the chain and are compensated in native $XIAN.
- Burns create long-term deflationary pressure as network usage grows.
- Foundation funding supports tooling, marketing, and grants—fueling further adoption.
