NHBCoin Supply, Distribution & L1 Chain Economics

Fixed supply: 1 billion NHB. No presale. No VC unlocks. Every coin enters circulation through real-world utility, PoTSO staking rewards, or multi-sig governed treasury releases. NHB runs natively on NHBChain - our public Layer-1 built for zero-fee, sub-second settlement.

50% Community & Rewards

Earned by users and node operators for activity across Nehborly, Peeksly, GeoSpur, AlleyAtlas, and future NHB-powered apps - reviews, tipping, staking uptime, and more.

25% Ecosystem & Dev Fund

Grants, bounties, and core engineering to keep NHBChain, SDKs, and open-source tools blazing fast and 100% fee-free.

15% Treasury Reserve

Locked for strategic needs - protocol-owned liquidity, future staking rewards, and emergency network upgrades. Managed via 5-of-8 multi-sig.

7% Partnerships & Liquidity

Incentives for strategic allies, merchant onboarding, and permanent NHB/USDT liquidity pools once compliance gates open.

3% Legal & Compliance

Funds regulatory filings, smart-contract audits, and ongoing KYC/AML tooling across VARA, FinCEN, FCA, MAS, BaFin, ASIC, and CSA jurisdictions.

Emission Schedule & Demand Sinks

PoTSO Inflation

Inflation starts at 6 % APR, paid daily to validators. Each 5× growth in active validators halves the rate - capping at 1 % APR.

  • Epoch 0 – 2 560 validators: 6 %
  • Epoch 1 – 12 800 validators: 3 %
  • Epoch 2 – 64 000 validators: 1.5 %
  • Floor: 1 % once 100 000+ validators
Utility-Driven Sinks
  • Merchant Staking: Businesses lock NHB to unlock 0-fee volume tiers; slashed on fraudulent disputes.
  • veNHB Locks: Up to 4-year time-locks boost voting power & share weekly buy-backs.
  • Terminal Burns: Every POS swipe at an NHBTerminal burns 0.05 % of the transfer.
  • SDK Overages: High-volume devs pay extra API calls in NHB, auto-burned on-chain.
