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.
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.
