# NerveNetwork Token (NVT) Economics

***

### 1. Overview

* Token Name: NerveNetwork Token
* Ticker: NVT
* Maximum Supply: 2.1 billion NVT
* Initial Supply: 1.1 billion NVT
* Consensus Mining Allocation: 1.0 billion NVT (released gradually over \~100 years)

***

### 2. Initial Distribution (1.1 Billion NVT)

### 3. Consensus-Based Emission (1.0 Billion NVT)

#### Staking Mechanism

* Main Assets on NerveNetwork — including cross-chain assets like BTC-NVT and BTC-ETHN — can participate in staking.
* Both flexible and time-locked staking are supported.
* Rewards are distributed based on staking amount and weighted contribution.

#### Node Participation

* To become a validator or virtual bank node, users must lock tokens.
* Locked assets are inaccessible during staking and become available upon un-staking.

***

### 4. Weight-Based Reward System

A dynamic weight system determines staking and consensus rewards.

#### Weight Multipliers:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th>Condition</th><th width="343.2890625">Multiplier</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>NVT  Staking</td><td>×2</td></tr><tr><td>Consensus Node </td><td>×3</td></tr><tr><td>Virtual Bank Node</td><td>×4</td></tr><tr><td>NVT Time-Locked Staking:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>– 3 months</td><td>2.4×</td></tr><tr><td>– 6 months</td><td>3×</td></tr><tr><td>– 1 year</td><td>4×</td></tr><tr><td>– 2 years</td><td>5×</td></tr><tr><td>– 3 years</td><td>6×</td></tr><tr><td>– 5 years</td><td>8×</td></tr><tr><td>– 10 years</td><td>10×</td></tr><tr><td>LP Staking (Can change by proposol)：</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>ETHN-BTC_LP</td><td>10x</td></tr><tr><td>USDTN-BTC_LP</td><td>10x</td></tr><tr><td>USDCN-BTC_LP</td><td>10x</td></tr><tr><td>NVT-BTC_LP</td><td>20x</td></tr></tbody></table>

Multipliers are stackable, allowing higher rewards for long-term and high-contribution participants.

### 5. Reward Emission Schedule

| Parameter              | Value                    |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Initial daily reward   | 86,400 NVT               |
| Block reward reduction | Every 100 days           |
| Reduction coefficient  | 0.822% per cycle         |
| Total mining duration  | Approx. 100 years        |
| Emission end           | When 2.1B cap is reached |

Reward Formula:

* Based on account’s staking weight relative to total weight
* Node credit also affects block reward allocation
* Calculation formula of the Staking reward (daily reward)<br>

### 6. Virtual Bank Nodes

* Top 15 nodes by collateral become virtual bank nodes
* Receive 2× block reward than NVT staking
* Secure cross-chain assets using multi-signature custody
