Tidecoin Tokenomics

Tidecoin has a maximum supply of approximately 21 million TDC — comparable to Bitcoin's supply limit. There was no premine, no ICO, and no developer allocation. Every coin in circulation was earned through CPU proof-of-work mining since the genesis block on December 27, 2020. The emission schedule uses doubling intervals with quartering rewards, front-loading distribution while the total supply converges asymptotically toward ~21M TDC.

// emission schedule

How does Tidecoin's emission schedule work?

Tidecoin uses a doubling-interval quartering schedule: each halving interval is twice the length of the previous one, and the block reward is quartered (divided by 4) at each step.

Tokenomics FAQ

All FAQ

What is Tidecoin's maximum supply?

Approximately 21 million TDC. The quartering-with-doubling-interval emission schedule converges to ~21,024,000 TDC. The MAX_MONEY consensus constant is set to 21,000,000 TDC as a per-transaction validation ceiling — comparable to Bitcoin's supply model.

Was there a premine?

No. Tidecoin had no premine, no ICO, no developer allocation, and no foundation reserves. All coins were earned through CPU proof-of-work mining from the genesis block on December 27, 2020.

What is the current block reward?

0.62500 TDC per block (Era 4). The reward quartering with doubling intervals means the block reward decreases slowly over time.

How much TDC is currently in circulation?

18,946,200 TDC out of the approximately 21 million maximum supply (90.2%).
