TAUMine Tokenomics

Overview

TAUMine implements a comprehensive tokenomics model designed for long-term sustainability, early adopter rewards, ecosystem growth, and social mining value creation.

Token Supply & Distribution

Total Supply

TAUMine derived from the mathematical constant TAU (τ = 6.28...) multiplied by 10^12. This fixed supply ensures scarcity and prevents inflation.

Distribution Allocation

Category	Percentage	Purpose
User Mining Rewards	65%	Distributed to users through mining activities
Ecosystem Development	15%	Funding for ecosystem growth, partnerships, and development
Core Team & Development	10%	Team allocation with 4-year vesting schedule
Marketing & Partnerships	5%	Promotion, user acquisition, and strategic partnerships
Reserve Fund	5%	Emergency fund and future opportunities

Mining Mechanics

Pioneer Tier System

TAUMine implements a four-tier Pioneer system that rewards early adopters with significant first-year bonuses:

Pioneer Tier	Qualification	First-Year Mining Bonus
Genesis Pioneer	First 10,000 users	+50% base mining rate
Elite Pioneer	First 100,000 users	+25% base mining rate
Early Pioneer	First 1,000,000 users	+15% base mining rate
Pioneer	After first 1,000,000 users	No bonus

Mining Session Structure

• Session Duration: 4 hours per active session

• Daily Maximum: Up to 3 sessions per day (12 hours total)

• Activation Requirement: Opening the app and confirming mining start

Network Contribution Mining

Contribution Types

TAUMine rewards users for network contributions beyond simple app engagement:

• Content Creation: Rewards for creating educational content

• Community Support: Rewards for helping other users

• Bug Reporting: Rewards for identifying and reporting bugs

• Feature Suggestions: Rewards for suggesting implemented features

Social Media Engagement Rewards

During the Genesis Phase (first 10,000 users), TAU Network offers one-time rewards for social media engagement:

Social Action	Reward (TAU)
Twitter Follow & Verification	10,000 TAU
Telegram Join & Verification	8,000 TAU
Twitter Post with #TAUNetwork	6,000 TAU
First Referral	10,000 TAU

Dynamic Adjustment System

Formula

Mining Rate = Base Rate × (User Factor × Time Factor × Network Health Factor)

Where:

• User Factor = Based on user's Pioneer tier

• Time Factor = Decreases slightly over time

• Network Health Factor = Dynamic variable based on economic indicators

Emission Schedule

Year	Percentage of Total Mining Supply
Year 1	~15% of mining allocation
Year 2	~12% of mining allocation
Year 3	~9.5% of mining allocation
Year 4	~7.5% of mining allocation
Year 5	~6% of mining allocation
Years 6-10	~31% of mining allocation
Years 11+	~20% of mining allocation

Network Difficulty Adjustment

To ensure sustainable token distribution as the network grows, TAUMine implements a dynamic difficulty adjustment:

Network Difficulty = 1 / (1 + log(Active Users ÷ 100,000) × 0.1)

Utility Development Roadmap

Phase 1 (Months 1-6)

• In-app achievements and status

• Community governance voting weight

• Educational content access

• Social reputation system

Phase 2 (Months 7-12)

• Marketplace for digital goods

• P2P transfers between users

• Enhanced governance capabilities

• Social graph visualization tools

Phase 3 (Year 2)

• DeFi functionality (staking, liquidity)

• Expanded marketplace with physical goods

• Developer platform access

• Fee reductions for services

Technical Implementation

Token Standard and Blockchain

TAUMine will initially operate as an off-chain token during the development phase, with a planned migration to a Layer 1 or Layer 2 blockchain solution.

Smart Contract Architecture

TAUMine's token will be implemented using a modular smart contract architecture:

• Core Token Contract: EVM compatible implementation

• Social Mining Module: Tracks and rewards social interactions

• Governance Module: Manages proposal creation and voting

• Team Management Module: Handles team formation and rewards

• Treasury Management: Controls token distribution and ecosystem funding
