Network economics

Parano1d ties issuance to Live State capacity and prices persistent State growth separately from ordinary transaction work.

Unit

text
1 NOID = 1,000,000 μNOID

NOID is the currency ticker; the wallet uses ① as its interface symbol. All consensus amounts are integers in μNOID.

Block reward

The starting subsidy is 50 NOID. It halves whenever the State domain expands and never falls below 1 NOID:

log_slots Capacity Block reward
24 16,777,216 slots 50.000000 NOID
25 33,554,432 slots 25.000000 NOID
26 67,108,864 slots 12.500000 NOID
27 134,217,728 slots 6.250000 NOID
28 268,435,456 slots 3.125000 NOID
29 536,870,912 slots 1.562500 NOID
30–32 Up to 4,294,967,296 slots 1.000000 NOID

Expansion requires sustained 75% occupancy in a hard-finalized window. The network therefore moves to a lower inflation tier only after materially using the current State capacity.

Launch development allocation

For the first three target-time years, each block subsidy is divided:

  • 90% to the miner;
  • 5% to the O(1) Network Fund;
  • 5% to Parano1d Lab.

There is no premine. After height 6,307,200, the complete block subsidy goes to the miner.

To avoid creating two extra live UTXOs in every block, the two development shares are paid in one mandatory two-output system record every 5,760 target blocks. The amount uses the reward tier active at that payout boundary. If the State expands during the interval, the resulting difference remains unissued.

The payout schedule, recipients and amounts are derived statelessly from height and log_slots and are proved inside HistoryStep. A miner cannot omit, redirect or defer a due payout.

Fees

The minimum transaction fee consists of:

  • 5,000 μNOID per logical transaction;
  • 100 μNOID per live input;
  • 700 μNOID per live output;
  • 2,500 μNOID times occupancy pressure for each net-new live slot.

Pressure multipliers are:

Parent-State occupancy Multiplier
Below 50%
50% to below 75%
75% to below 90%
90% and above

The State-growth component is burned. Base, input, output and voluntary tip components are claimable by the miner.

A consolidation that turns several inputs into one output shrinks State and pays no growth burn.

Dynamic relay floor

The default mempool relays a transaction only when its fee satisfies both consensus minimum and current relay policy. The dynamic floor is the greater of 5,000 μNOID and 90% of the median fee among the last 50 transactions admitted to that node's mempool.

This relay floor is local policy. Consensus fee accounting remains deterministic from the transaction shape and parent-State occupancy.
