Token Economics

Token Economy

Overview

Dubhe adopts a dual-mechanism of programmable fees and burn: DUBHE is charged per interaction and a portion of revenue is burned to maintain scarcity and network security.

Design Principles

Principle	Description
Contribution-Based	Allocation, inflation, and rewards are distributed based on on-chain contributions from projects, nodes, and users
Elastic Structure	Key metrics (inflation, fee caps) are on-chain parameterized via governance for market and regulatory adaptability
Sustainable Growth	Combines fee burn with ecological reinvestment for long-term deflationary expectations
Simple & Transparent	All models and spending are on-chain and publicly auditable
Data-Driven Optimization	Metrics inform governance proposals to iteratively improve parameters

DUBHE Token Utilities

• Set Fees: Users writing data on Dubhe Engine-based apps pay $DUBHE per set() operation.
• Collateral: Dubhe Channel requires deposits for fraud-proof guarantees and data relay service.
• Staking Security: Token holders can delegate DUBHE to DubheOS nodes and earn block validation rewards.
• Governance Voting: Token holders vote on upgrades, treasury, and parameter changes via DubheOS.

60-Month Unlock Curve Highlights:

• TGE Initial Circulating: ≈ 7% (Launchpad + DEX + Gas LP)
• 12m: ~22% (Labs & team cliffs begin)
• 24m: Linear unlock continues → ~42%
• 36m: Seed/A rounds + community incentives completed → ~60%
• 48m: Foundation, strategic pool mostly unlocked → ~75%
• 60m: Final unlocks → ≈ 76%, pending DAO trigger for Ecosystem/Reserves

The token distribution follows a carefully designed 60-month vesting schedule to ensure long-term alignment and prevent market dumping. Visual representations of the unlock curve and distribution breakdown are referenced in the original documentation with accompanying charts.
