SOVR Tokenomics

1,000,000,000 SOVR.
Hard cap. Closed loop.

SOVR is the sole unit of account on Sovren Network. One billion tokens. Five states. A non-terminal burn that recycles supply back into node rewards. The economics are public, on-chain, and they don't change.

Supply architecture

Five states. One closed loop.

Every SOVR token sits in exactly one state. The total across states stays at 1B for all time, enforced by the supply module on every transition.

State 01

Latent

Not issued. Fuel for future emissions. Replenished by burns and forfeits.

State 02

Locked

Operator-earned, awaiting claim initiation. Not transferable.

State 03

Vesting

Claim initiated. 30-day linear release. Originating node idle during the window.

State 04

Claimed

Fully liquid. Transferable and spendable on services.

State 05

Burned-to-Latent

Not a distinct state. Burns return Claimed tokens to Latent for re-emission.

Genesis allocation

60M minted at launch. 940M unminted reserves.

Only 6% of the cap is in circulation at genesis. Every other allocation stays unminted until protocol mechanics or program rules trigger issuance.

Latent / Protocol Emission Reserve

730M

Long-term protocol fuel: node reward capacity, future Track B usage emissions, all work-based issuance. Unminted at genesis.

Bootstrap Rewards Reserve

150M

Track A bootstrap rewards for early-network node owners. Work-contingent. 150M lifetime cap. Unminted at genesis.

Liquidity Pool Reserve

50M

Minted upfront at genesis. Held in company-controlled multisig.

OPT Exchange Reserve

50M

Reserved for future protocol-level OPT-to-SOVR exchange. Unminted until exchange opens.

Service Liquidity Reserve

10M

Minted upfront at genesis. Operational liquidity for service modules.

Node Revenue Match Reserve

10M

Cold-start revenue matching for early node owners. 2.5× match concept. Unminted at genesis.

Settlement flow

Every SOVR settled.
Split 50 / 25 / 25.

Atomic on every fee, hard-coded on-chain. The same split runs for every service module across the network.

50%

Burn-and-Recycle

Returned to Latent. The supply machine recycles tokens back into emission capacity. Non-terminal.

25%

Operator Pool

Fleet-wide pool. Drains pro-rata by attestation score at the daily flush. Operators are paid for being part of the working fleet.

25%

Company Sub-Split

Hard-coded 40/40/10/10: Infrastructure / Ecosystem / DAO Treasury / Validator Pool.

Node licensing

10,000 licenses. 10 sequential tranches.

An NFT-backed node license is the right to participate in infrastructure on Sovren Network. Sales sequence through ten tranches of 1,000 licenses each.

Reward architecture

Two tracks. Both work-contingent.

Operators earn through Track A bootstrap rewards and Track B usage rewards. Neither is a debt instrument, yield product, or guaranteed return.

Track A

Bootstrap Rewards

Early-network node owner support funded by the 150M Bootstrap Rewards Reserve. Work-contingent: requires activation, attested work, and module participation. Not a debt instrument, not a yield product, not a guaranteed return.

150,000,000 SOVR

Lifetime cap

Track B

Usage Rewards

Ongoing usage-linked emissions tied to verified service delivery. Gated by a burn-parity capacity rule so issuance can never exceed what's been recycled. Both tracks are work-contingent.

Capacity-gated

From Latent reserve

Lock-claim & node idle

30 days to vest. The node idles while you claim.

When a node owner initiates a claim, the originating node idles for the duration of the 30-day linear vest. Emergency claim forfeits unvested rewards back to Latent.
