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.
Key Parameters¶
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Head supply | ~46.875 billion SOQ (no hard cap; perpetual tail) |
| Block time | 60 seconds |
| Launch reward | 100,000 SOQ/block |
| Halving interval | 250,000 blocks (~174 days) |
| Number of halvings | 4 (then perpetual tail emission) |
| Tail emission | 2,500 SOQ/block (forever) |
| Smallest unit | 1 shor (= 0.00000001 SOQ) |
| Consensus | Scrypt Proof-of-Work |
| Merge mining | AuxPoW with LTC/DOGE (active from genesis) |
pSOQ (Solana)¶
pSOQ is the Solana-based representation of SOQ, pegged 1:1 through the SOQ-TEC Gateway. One pSOQ is always redeemable for exactly one SOQ on the Soqucoin L1.
pSOQ exists to provide liquidity and DeFi composability on Solana while the L1 matures. It's not a separate token. It's a wrapped representation of mined SOQ.
USDSOQ (Stablecoin)¶
USDSOQ is a native L1 stablecoin built into the Soqucoin consensus layer. Unlike ERC-20 stablecoins that inherit the quantum vulnerabilities of their host chain, USDSOQ transactions are secured by ML-DSA-44 signatures natively.
