According to TechFlow, on September 17, the official announcement of the zero-knowledge proof blockchain project Aleo released its mainnet token economics model. Aleo tokens will be used as the network's native asset to pay for services, incentivize validators and provers, pledge, and future governance. 1.5 billion tokens will be issued when the Aleo mainnet is launched, of which 34% will be allocated to early supporters, 25% for grants, ecosystem contributors, and education, 17% to employees and project contributors, 16% to the Aleo Foundation and Provable, and 8% to strategic partners.
After the token is issued, the network will automatically generate new tokens through the consensus algorithm to reward provers and stakers who solve the problem. Validators can receive a fixed reward of 23 tokens per block, and this mechanism will last forever. The Aleo team expects that in the next ten years, the circulating supply of tokens will increase from 1.5 billion to more than 2.6 billion, an increase of about 75%.
