About Token Economy

To tightly align the network's long-term incentives with real-world computational contributions, the Origins Network adopts a transparent and sustainable token issuance model. Each cycle (Epoch), the protocol mints a fixed quantity of $OR tokens as a base reward, strictly distributed proportionally to the "Proof of Computation" weight provided by each node. This mechanism ingeniously introduces a scarcity-based value dynamic:

• As more nodes join the network with computing power, the $OR reward obtainable per unit of effective computational capability correspondingly decreases.

• This competition for limited rewards, combined with the growth in utility value provided by the network, creates upward economic pressure on the intrinsic value of the $OR token.

• The entire reward issuance follows a predictable exponential decay curve, ensuring higher returns for early contributors while safeguarding long-term token scarcity and network sustainability through decreasing issuance over time.

This design aims to balance early growth with long-term health, ensuring early participants benefit from their higher risk-taking and contribution, while suppressing inflation through a fixed total supply plan and a decreasing issuance schedule to support the long-term stability of network value.
