Токеномика Avalanche (AVAX)

The Avalanche (AVAX) token economics are designed to balance network security, long-term sustainability, and ecosystem growth. The system utilizes a capped supply model with unique deflationary mechanisms and tiered incentive structures.

Issuance Mechanism

Avalanche has a hard-capped maximum supply of 720 million AVAX. The issuance of new tokens is primarily driven by staking rewards, which are distributed to validators and delegators who secure the network.

• Initial Supply: At genesis, 360 million AVAX (50% of the total supply) were minted.
• Staking Rewards: The remaining 360 million tokens are allocated for distribution as staking rewards over a period intended to span at least ten years.
• Minting Function: The rate of token emission is subject to governance. Stakers are incentivized to lock their tokens for longer periods; staking for the maximum duration of one year can result in an additional 11.11% of tokens minted compared to staking for the minimum two-week period.
• Deflationary Pressure: Unlike many other Layer 1 protocols, Avalanche does not distribute transaction fees to validators. Instead, 100% of all network transaction fees are burned, permanently removing them from the circulating supply and increasing the scarcity of the remaining tokens.

Allocation Mechanism

The initial 360 million AVAX minted at genesis were distributed across several key stakeholder groups to ensure a diversified ecosystem:

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The AVAX token serves as the primary utility and governance asset within the Avalanche ecosystem.

Network Utility

• Security (Staking): To participate in consensus, validators must self-stake a minimum of 2,000 AVAX. Users who do not meet this threshold can delegate a minimum of 25 AVAX to existing validators.
• Transaction Fees: All operations on the Primary Network (P-Chain, X-Chain, and C-Chain) require fees paid in AVAX.
• Governance: Token holders will eventually be able to vote on critical network parameters, such as the rate of token emissions, minimum staking amounts, and fee structures.

Ecosystem Incentives

The Avalanche Foundation has launched several high-profile incentive programs to bootstrap liquidity and development:

• Avalanche Rush: A $180 million liquidity mining program launched in 2021 to attract DeFi applications like Aave and Curve.
• Avalanche Multiverse: A program focused on accelerating the adoption of "Subnets" (app-specific blockchains), with allocations such as $3 million for the Dexalot Subnet.
• Memecoin Rush: A $1 million initiative launched in 2024 to promote participation in the community coin ecosystem.
• Retro9000: A $40 million retroactive funding program supporting developers building on the Avalanche9000 upgrade.

Locking and Unlocking Mechanism

Avalanche employs various vesting schedules and locking requirements to align the interests of long-term participants.

Staking Locks

• Minimum Duration: 2 weeks.
• Maximum Duration: 1 year.
• Once staked, tokens are locked and cannot be moved until the chosen staking period concludes.

Vesting Schedules

• Project Team: Subject to a four-year vesting period.
• Foundation: Subject to a ten-year vesting schedule.
• Strategic Partners & Airdrops: Subject to four-year vesting schedules.
• Public Sale (Option A1): One-year vesting with quarterly unlocks.
• Public Sale (Option A2): Eighteen-month vesting with quarterly unlocks.
