PXN supply · protocol guarantees
PXN supply, pre-offer and hard 1B limit
PXN has a fixed 1 billion cap. The full supply is created once, then only redistributed by deterministic transfers. No hidden mints, no admin shortcuts, and per-coin DNA to prove it.
1. PXN supply snapshot
| Metric | Value (PXN) |
|---|---|
| Total cap | 1,000,000,000 |
| Minted total | 1,000,000,000 |
| Pre-offer active | 25,000,000 |
| Operations bucket | 50,000,000 |
| Treasury bucket | 200,000,000 |
| Release reserve | 700,000,000 |
PXN genesis is committed once at the 1B cap. Distribution then follows the fixed pre-offer allocation and later system-managed releases.
2. PXN pre-offer band
PXN has a fixed pre-offer allocation:
- Pre-offer pool: 25,000,000 PXN, always a subset of the 1B cap.
- The pre-offer figure is fixed at 25M PXN within the 1B total cap.
- Once the pre-offer pool is fully allocated, any further PXN distribution is handled by the engine according to protocol rules, never by arbitrary “top-ups”.
There is no way to mint even 1 PXN above the original supply.
Genesis creates the full 1B once, the minting capability is shut off,
and all movements afterwards are transfers with per-coin DNA traceability.
3. How the 1B hard limit is enforced
Protocol rules, not manual switches
- Single genesis mint. The full 1,000,000,000 PXN supply is created once in a controlled genesis phase.
- Mint opcode disabled. After genesis, the PXN mint operation is removed from normal engine flow. No operator or partner can re-enable it to “print more”.
- Transfers only. All distribution (pre-offer buyers, partners, future pools) is done via transfers from system treasury vaults, never via fresh minting.
- Per-coin DNA. PXN (like INV and other IW assets) is minted with DNA-style identifiers: each unit is traceable from genesis through every transfer. No burn-and-reissue shortcuts.
- No “admin balance edits”. Balances change only through valid operations executed by the engine. There is no backdoor to arbitrarily overwrite a vault balance.
From a user’s point of view: if your vault doesn’t hold the coins or funds, the transaction simply cannot happen. There is no “soft overdraft”, no “we will fix it later”, and no hidden inflation.
4. 1 PXN ≈ 1 USD as a unit-of-account, not a promise
- Internally, many flows are expressed with “1 PXN = 1 USD” as a unit-of-account.
- Market value can move: PXN may trade above or below 1 USD on secondary markets.
- There is no legal promise that PXN will always be redeemable for 1 USD or any fixed fiat or asset.
This keeps the economic model simple for institutions and integrators (multi-asset settlement rail with a USD-like unit-of-account) while making it clear that PXN is not a synthetic dollar IOU.
5. Where to see live performance
PXN supply is about trust in the numbers. Performance is about trust in the rail.
- Live speed (ops/sec on a 1M-operation window) is always visible on the ProteonX homepage.
- “Numbers & reality” explains how those benchmarks are produced and what they mean in terms of full pipeline settlement.
- This page is wired to live PXN supply metrics so partners can reconcile pre-offer and circulating supply at a glance.
