Sentrix Chain Tokenomics

At a glance

Premine allocation — 63M SRX (20%)

Four genesis wallets, set in genesis/mainnet.toml and immutable. Sub-allocation policies below are governance intent; each top-level address is publicly auditable on SentrixScan.

• Founder

  21,000,000 SRX

  0x5b5b06688dcdbe532353ac610aaff41af825279d

  Vesting commitment: 12-month cliff + 48-month linear (60 mo total) from mainnet launch (2026-04-25). Currently a social commitment — vesting contract deploys Q3 2026 to enforce on-chain.

• Ecosystem Fund

  21,000,000 SRX

  0xeb70fdefd00fdb768dec06c478f450c351499f14

  Multi-sig governed (1-of-1 today → 3-of-5 Q3 2026). Sub-targets: Dev Grants 8M · Hackathon 3M · Marketing 5M · Mainnet Faucet 1M · Reserve 4M.

• Validator Incentive Pool

  10,500,000 SRX

  0x328d56b8174697ef6c9e40e19b7663797e16fa47

  Distributed over ~24 months post external-validator onboarding. Sub-targets: Bootstrap 5M · Self-Stake Match 3M · Slashing Insurance 2.5M.

• Strategic Reserve

  10,500,000 SRX

  0x2578cad17e3e56c2970a5b5eab45952439f5ba97

  Multi-sig governed. Sub-targets: Airdrops 5M · CEX Listings 3M · DEX Liquidity 1.5M · Emergency 1M.

Halving schedule — BTC-parity, 4 years

Every 126 million blocks (~4 years), the block reward halves. Mining ends asymptotically near year 108 once the integer reward truncates to zero (halving 27).

Geometric series total: 1 × 126M × Σ(2⁻ᵏ) = 252M SRX (with ~1.88 SRX integer-truncation residue never minted, so the cap is reached asymptotically). Verifiable in source at crates/sentrix-core/src/blockchain.rs (constants MAX_SUPPLY_V2, HALVING_INTERVAL_V2, BLOCK_REWARD; halving math in get_block_reward()).

Burn mechanism

Native flat fee is 0.0001 SRX (10,000 sentri). Every fee splits 50/50 between the block validator and a burn — the burn share uses ceiling-division so odd-fee rounding never under-shoots burn. Algebraic invariant: burn + validator == fee, no sentri lost.

Live cumulative burn (h≈760k): ~15 SRX. Burn rate scales with EVM dApp adoption — the chain becomes net-deflationary post halving 1 (~year 4) at typical growth assumptions.

Reward escrow & protocol sentinels

Three addresses on Sentrix Chain hold balances but have no private key— they're protocol-reserved sentinels, mutated only by consensus-level operations. If you spot them in the explorer's top accounts and wonder where the funds came from, this is the explainer.

• Protocol Treasury (Reward Escrow)

  0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002

  Active since the V4 reward-v2 fork at VOYAGER_REWARD_V2_HEIGHT=590100(2026-04-25). Every block's 1 SRX coinbase mints into this address instead of going directly to the proposer. The staking registry tracks each validator's + delegator's pro-rata share as accumulators (pending_rewards, delegator_rewards) and they drain the escrow via StakingOp::ClaimRewards. Balance ≈ unclaimed rewards owed by protocol to participants — not a foundation/operator-controlled treasury.

• Token Op sentinel

  0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

  Routing marker for native SRC-20 token operations (the to field of TokenOp::Deploy / Transfer / Burn txs) and EVM CREATE deploys. Holds zero balance under normal operation — token-burn ops have it as the destination, but the burned supply is accounted in total_burnednot in this address's balance.

• Staking sentinel (reserved)

  0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000100

  Reserved for the staking-op routing convention. Not currently used as a tx to field — staking ops route via PROTOCOL_TREASURYin the V4 reward-v2 era. Reserved so dApps don't accidentally claim it as their own EOA address.

On-chain verification: query each address via /accounts/top or scan address page. The Protocol Treasury balance changes block- by-block (1 SRX in per block, draining whenever a validator/ delegator claims) — it's a real-time mirror of unclaimed rewards owed by the protocol.

Vesting & governance

• ·Founder 21M: 12-mo cliff + 48-mo linear (social commitment; on-chain vesting contract Q3 2026).
• ·Ecosystem Fund 21M: Multi-sig governance, transparent disbursement.

SentrixSafe at 0x6272dC0C842F05542f9fF7B5443E93C0642a3b26 (mainnet) is currently 1-of-1 with the authority signer. Migration to 3-of-5 multi-sig is scheduled Q3 2026.

Airdrop strategy — 5M SRX

Phased rollout from the Strategic Reserve. Each phase has its own snapshot height + criteria; distribution via Merkle-claim.

• ·Phase 1 — Testnet Heroes (Q2 2026): 1,000,000 SRX to active testnet validators + power users.
• ·Phase 2 — Quest Campaign (Q3 2026): 1,000,000 SRX via Galxe/Zealy-style task completion.
• ·Phase 3 — Activity Rewards (Q3 2026): 800,000 SRX to active mainnet wallets.
• ·Phase 4 — Validator Delegators (Q4 2026): 700,000 SRX pro-rata to delegators.
• ·Phase 5 — Retroactive Builders (Q4 2026 / Q1 2027): 1,500,000 SRX committee-reviewed for dApp deployers, audit contributors, ecosystem PRs.
