Tokenomics & Emission¶
Soqucoin emits ~46.875 billion SOQ in its head distribution (~1.9 years) followed by a perpetual low-inflation tail. There is no hard cap. The early schedule is aggressively front-loaded to reward first-movers. No premine, no ICO, no team allocation. Every coin is mined.
Supply Schedule¶
| Block Range | Reward per Block | Cumulative Supply | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 – 250,000 | 100,000 SOQ | 25B SOQ | ~174 days |
| 250,001 – 500,000 | 50,000 SOQ | 37.5B SOQ | ~174 days |
| 500,001 – 750,000 | 25,000 SOQ | 43.75B SOQ | ~174 days |
| 750,001 – 1,000,000 | 12,500 SOQ | 46.875B SOQ | ~174 days |
| 1,000,001+ | 2,500 SOQ | +~1.31B/year (tail) | Forever |
Fair Launch
Zero premine. Zero team allocation. Zero insider tokens. Every SOQ is mined through proof-of-work, same as Bitcoin and Dogecoin. The Foundation mines on the same terms as everyone else.
Halving Schedule¶
Block rewards halve every 250,000 blocks (~174 days at 60-second block times) across 4 epochs. After block 1,000,000, a perpetual tail emission of 2,500 SOQ per block runs forever.
The tail emission keeps miners compensated for securing the network long after the initial supply distribution is done. Same model Dogecoin uses. It prevents a fee-market-only security model that could destabilize the network.
