Fixed Cap, Dynamic Supply
Gregory and I attended a Blockscience retreat this weekend. Zargham, the founder of Blockscience, suggested that Regen Network consider shifting to a fixed cap, dynamic supply tokenomic schema. Why fixed cap? We’ve begun hosting a series of gatherings focused on the REGEN token called Ethical Capital Formation. Tokenholders want to understand the economic primitives that govern tokenomics. One of the most iconic numbers in crypto is 21 million: the fixed cap of Bitcoin. To draw an ecological...

Category: Tokenomics Upgrade, Economic Infrastructure
Requested Amount: $55,000 in $REGEN
Purpose: To support research, simulation, community design workshops, and validator coordination for implementing the Fixed Cap + Dynamic Supply model in $REGEN tokenomics.
🌱 Context & Motivation
In collaboration with the Regen Foundation and BlockScience, Regen Network has been exploring a Fixed Cap, Dynamic Supply model for its tokenomics — combining the clarity of a supply cap (à la Bitcoin) with the flexibility of dynamic issuance and burn mechanisms (inspired by Ethereum’s EIP-1559).
This approach has strong narrative, economic, and ecological foundations:
- It reflects carrying capacity in nature — a regenerative metaphor for a sustainable upper bound
- It enables flexible supply adjustment based on network activity, staking, and verified ecological metrics
- It anchors ethical capital formation, offering a clear economic vision for Regen tokenholders, stakers, and ecocredit participants
The initial research and formulae (e.g. Zargham’s regrowth equation S[t+1] = S[t] + r(C - S[t]) - B[t]) show promise, but implementation, simulation, and governance design remain incomplete.
🎯 Proposal Objectives
This proposal funds a 3-month cross-functional initiative to:
- Finalize the Fixed Cap + Dynamic Supply Model
- Parameter calibration (regrowth rate
r, burn functions, ecological data feeds) - Simulations of long-term outcomes and stress testing
- Stakeholder Design Sessions
- Engage validators, token holders, ecocredit issuers, and ReFi partners
- Test and refine incentives, staking mechanisms, and ecological alignment
- Governance Integration Plan
- Develop clear, auditable proposals for on-chain governance upgrades
- Align with
x/stakingand other Cosmos SDK modules - Educational & Comms Materials
- Publish a full explainer ("Ethical Capital Formation: Regen’s New Token Model")
- Produce infographics, forums posts, and validator onboarding guides
🛠️ Use of Funds
Category | Description | Budget |
Modeling & Simulation | Dynamic supply stress-testing; Cosmos integration modeling | $15,000 |
Community Workshops | Design sprints with Regen Foundation, validators, and ecocredit actors | $10,000 |
Governance Proposal & Audit Prep | TokenomicsParams schema, security, and upgrade roadmap | $12,000 |
Comms & Ecosystem Activation | Report, explainer video, dashboards, Commonwealth Q&A | $10,000 |
Reserve & Contingency | Unforeseen dev coordination, ecological data contracts | $8,000 |
Total: $55,000 in $REGEN
(Payment in streaming form or milestone-based preferred)
📈 Expected Outcomes
- Live simulation dashboard modeling
S[t+1] = S[t] + r(C - S[t]) - B[t]and ecological feedback loops - Community consensus on regrowth parameters and staking/ecological multipliers
- Governance proposal draft for adoption in Q4 2025
- Educational materials for validators, tokenholders, and credit market participants
🤝 Strategic Alignment with Regen Mission
Regen Network Goal | Alignment |
Reward Regeneration | Burn mechanisms tied to ecocredit sales, retirements, and registry activity |
Data-Driven Verification | Regrowth rates modulated by ecological metrics (e.g. ΔCO₂, land data) |
Open Economic Infrastructure | Transparent, replicable, and narrative-rich token design |
🗳️ Call to Action
This is a turning point for $REGEN tokenomics. A well-calibrated Fixed Cap + Dynamic Supply system will:
- Attract capital aligned with ecological long-termism
- Create narrative legitimacy (carrying capacity + deflation mechanics)
- Reinforce our commitment to ethical capital formation and regenerative finance
Vote YES to fund the design, simulation, and activation of Regen’s next-generation economic model.
