トンコイン (TON) トケノミクス

The Open Network (TON) utilizes Toncoin as its native utility token. Originally launched with a fixed supply, the network has transitioned through various phases of distribution and now operates under a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus model with specific inflationary and deflationary characteristics.

Issuance Mechanism

Toncoin was initially launched with a total supply of 5 billion tokens. The issuance history is divided into two distinct phases:

• Initial Distribution (Historical): Approximately 4.92 billion TON (96.66% of the supply) were pre-mined and placed into "Proof-of-Work (POW) Givers" smart contracts. Users "mined" these tokens by solving computational puzzles. This initial mining phase concluded in June 2022 when the last of these pools were depleted.
• Current Emission: The network now employs an annual inflation rate of 0.60%. New tokens are progressively minted as block creation subsidies to reward validators. As of November 22, 2023, the total supply had increased to approximately 5.09 billion TON.
• Subsidies: The network subsidizes block creation by adding 1.7 TON for each masterchain block and 1 TON for each basechain block to the reward pool.

Allocation Mechanism

As of March 2026, the distribution of the 5.15 billion Toncoin supply is categorized across several ecosystem stakeholders and funds:

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

Toncoin serves as the primary medium of exchange and security instrument within the ecosystem:

• Transaction Fees: Users pay gas fees in TON for all network operations, including computation, storage, and message importing.
• Staking Rewards: Validators earn rewards from two sources: the 0.60% annual inflation (block subsidies) and a portion of the transaction fees. The total reward pool per validation cycle (~18 hours) is approximately 40,000 TON.
• Governance: Tokenholders can vote on configuration changes (such as fee adjustments) via the Governance Portal. Voting power is typically "weighted balance," where power is proportional to the TON held.
• Deflationary Mechanism: In June 2023, a real-time burn mechanism was implemented. 50% of all network fees (transaction and storage fees) are permanently burned, which acts as a counter-inflationary force as network activity increases.

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

The TON ecosystem utilizes several tools to manage token liquidity and long-term alignment:

• The Locker: A smart contract that allows users to lock their coins for an extended period. This mechanism can be configured to provide rewards in exchange for the locking action.
• Vesting Toolkits: Developed for working teams to manage the linear release of tokens over time.
• Frozen Early Miners: A significant portion of the supply (20.9%) is currently categorized as "Frozen," representing tokens from the early mining era that are subject to specific restriction schedules.
• Validator Requirements: To participate in network security, a validator must have a minimum of 300,000 TON (self-staked or nominated). Nominators must stake a minimum of 10,000 TON to participate in a pool.
• Slashing: Validators can be penalized for malicious or idle behavior with a "standard fine" of 101 TON, which acts as a negative incentive against network disruption.
