Tokenomics

Token allocation, release schedule, and market demand modelled interactively. Click a phase or category in the timeline to see how each slice evolves across the distribution. Below we summarize how supply fits into the wider economic design and ARCO layer.

LNGXis the network’s unit of value. The economic stack is described as FIAT Replacement Technology (FReT)—pairing the phased allocation you explore in the chart with the ARCO layer’s ability to adjust effective supply over time. The full specification is in Lineage: The Living Economy on Zenodo.

Lineage tokenomics are not only a fixed release calendar: the protocol is designed so that effective supply and circulation can be adjusted over time in response to demand and on-chain state. That coordination runs through the same ARCO (adaptive resource-coordinated) loop you see on the Technology page—sensor, relay, compute, actuator—so economic parameters, where the rules allow, are part of the closed loop instead of a separate, manual governance afterthought.

The design goals for that approach are set out in the working paper Peer-to-peer electronic cash revisited (Andrew Kessler, 2025-05-02, Zenodo), which revisits peer-to-peer electronic cash to aim for low volatility without relying on external collateral or game-theoretic levers. Lineage encodes that stance in on-chain policy and ARCO-driven adjustment rather than off-chain promise alone.

The chart below is still the place to explore allocation phasesand how each category's share moves through the schedule; the paper and ARCO layer describe the macro model in which that schedule operates.
