CC · earned on-chain only; a one-time SV lock pulled ~14B off market.
Canton has no pre-mine, no VC, no team allocation, no Foundation reserve — every CC was earned on-chain. Last 90 days minted ~2.47B by validator work and burned ~1.40B by Synchronizer traffic; plus a one-time CIP-0105 SV lockup on March 2 pulled ~14.14B more off market. Recurring next-90D run-rate is mildly net inflationary at about +1.2% / 90D.
Gross protocol mint: 10-minute rounds, current 1.5–5y phase (Jan 2026 → Jul 2029) at 10B CC/yr → ~2.466B / 90D. Allocation Apps 62% / SVs 20% / Validators 18%. Whitepaper-deterministic.
No vesting schedule. Canton is fully unlocked by design — no pre-mine, no VC, no team, no Foundation allocation. Every CC was earned on-chain.
Canton Foundation does NOT hold a CC allocation (confirmed by canton.network blog: "no special allocations for founding team, venture capital firms, or even the Canton Foundation"). Structurally 0 — same shape as BTC / DOGE. Reopens as monitored if the CIP-0100 5% Development Fund treasury wallet becomes identifiable on-chain.
No bankruptcy estate. The CIP-0105 SV lockup pulls supply OFF the market (counted in Buy #4), not on.
No programmatic buyback mechanism.
Native Synchronizer traffic burn at ~15M CC/day pace × 90 ≈ 1.40B last 90D, trending toward Foundation-stated mid-2026 burn-mint equilibrium target (~1.65B next 90D). Fees are USD-denominated; settled by burning CC at prevailing rate (asymmetric reflexive — when CC falls, more burned per USD).
Foundation has no CC allocation to buy with — confirmed by Canton tokenomics design.
CIP-0105 SV lockup: one-time activation March 2, 2026 locked ~14.14B SV historical earnings (inside last-90D window). Forward, ~14% of all new SV emissions auto-lock at tier-based rates (70% / 45% / 35%) with 1/365.25 daily vesting → ~0.35B / 90D ongoing.
