PowLayer is designed as a decentralized Proof-of-Work Layer 1 blockchain with a fixed supply, transparent emission, and no hidden fees. XPL is the native currency of the PowLayer blockchain. The tokenomics are simple yet sustainable, ensuring both miners and the ecosystem are incentivized for long-term growth.
Tokenomics
- Ticker: XPL
- Max Supply: 10,000,000 XPL
- Premine: 2,000,000 XPL (20%)
- Mineable: 8,000,000 XPL (80%)
- Block Time: ~12.5s
- Dev Fees: None
- Uncle Rewards: None
Emission Schedule
- Block 1 → 500,000: 1.0 XPL per block (500,000 XPL total)
- Block 500,001 → 1,500,000: 0.5 XPL per block (500,000 XPL total)
- Block 1,500,001 → 71,500,000: 0.1 XPL per block (7,000,000 XPL total)
➡️ Total mineable supply: 8,000,000 XPL
Why a Premine?
A common question is: “Why does PowLayer need a 20% premine?”
The answer is simple: a project cannot survive without proper funding.
Unlike meme coins or VC-backed chains, PowLayer is community-driven, transparent, and fair-launched (no dev fees, no hidden allocations). But building and growing a blockchain requires resources — from development and security audits, to exchange listings, liquidity, marketing, and ecosystem support.
Donations alone are not reliable enough to sustain such a network. A fair premine ensures the project has the necessary foundation to survive, expand, and thrive.
Premine Allocation (2,000,000 XPL)
- 25% (500,000 XPL): Staking Rewards
Incentives for users who hold and secure XPL through staking programs. - 25% (500,000 XPL): Development, Marketing & Growth
Funding for ongoing development, audits, exchange listings, liquidity provision, marketing campaigns, bounties, and community programs. - 50% (1,000,000 XPL): Future Budget (Vested)
Reserved for the long-term needs of the PowLayer ecosystem — including future development, infrastructure, partnerships, and ecosystem expansion. This allocation will be locked and vested over 1 year via a transparent smart contract (under development) to ensure accountability and sustainability.
✅ With this structure, the premine isn’t just for the team — it fuels ecosystem expansion, user incentives, and the network’s sustainability.
