Metanomics starts in May 2025
The inflation curve should always be interpreted from the Metanomics go-live point, not from an arbitrary free-floating date.
Performance Graph
Summary
Scenario simulator, not forecast engine
Use this page to stress-test outcomes for delegators and node runners under different price paths, fee choices, and participation assumptions.
Fixed + variable rewards
Delegators combine fixed 3% rewards on delegated DAG with a variable share of inflationary emissions, adjusted by validator fee.
Model Inputs
The simulator uses these core assumptions from the Metanomics design.
i(t) = itarget + (iinitial - itarget) × e(-λ × (Ycurrent - Yinitial)) × (Pinitial / Pcurrent)iimpact
iinitial6% initial inflation
itarget0.5% target inflation
λ0.1 decay constant
iimpact0.35 price sensitivity
YinitialMetanomics start year: May 2025
PcurrentCurrent DAG price for the selected scenario
- Protocol ramps from 0% to 30% in 6% quarterly steps.
- Foundation receives the residual variable share during the ramp-up period.
- Delegators also receive fixed 3% on delegated DAG.
- Snapshot fees and network adoption affect the macro picture but are not modeled precisely here.
Inflation Model Explorer
Documentation-aligned view of annual inflation from the Metanomics May 2025 start under the published scenario framing: stable price, decreasing price, increasing price, and up-and-down prices.
Emissions Split Over Time
Documentation-aligned emissions split across protocol, foundation, validators, and delegators over time.
Note: this chart is aligned to the published documentation graphic. Without the original source dataset, it should be treated as a documentation-faithful visual reference rather than an official raw data export.
Participant Lens
What this means for different network participants.
Delegators
Fixed 3% plus variable emissions. Outcome depends heavily on delegated share of supply, DAG price path, and validator fee.
Mainnet Validators
Base validator emissions plus delegation fee income. Attracting delegated DAG improves total earnings materially.
IntegrationNet / TestNet
Best treated as network-participation incentive scenarios rather than ROI projections, since the economics differ from delegation-driven mainnet incentives.
