Token Distribution Categories
ACS tokens will be distributed across six different categories with differing functions and purposes.
The categories are as follows:
Total ACS supply growth
The initial annual inflation rate of ACS starts at 5% of the total supply, this rate is expected to slightly decrease over time. Community governance will be developed to ultimately govern the ACS inflation rate parameter.
A 2% staking fee is in place to be collected by the protocol and then burned on a quarterly basis. Community governance will be developed to govern the ACS inflation rate parameter.
Below is the estimated token distribution after 7 years. By the end of year 5, an estimated ~142 billion ACS tokens will be in circulation.
