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

Conceptual snapshot — values go live once genesis and allocations are executed.

Metric	Value (PXN)
Total cap	1,000,000,000
Minted total	0
Treasury balance	0
Circulating outside treasury	0

When genesis mint is executed, this snapshot will reflect:
1B PXN minted once, then split between system treasury and the portion released through the pre-offer and future allocations.

2. PXN pre-offer band

Early access range, carved out of the 1B cap — never on top of it.

PXN has a defined pre-offer working band:

Pre-offer pool: 20–25 million PXN, always a subset of the 1B cap.
Final pre-offer size will be fixed inside this band (e.g. “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”.

Hard cap · One genesis mint

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

PXN uses USD as a pricing yardstick — not as a redemption guarantee.

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.
Going forward, this page can be wired to live PXN supply metrics so partners can reconcile pre-offer and circulating supply at a glance.
