XDC · masternode emission, offset by fees and locks.
XDC is the native coin of XDC Network, a trade-finance Layer 1 (XDPoS) — ~19.9B circulating of a ~38B total, no cap.
Sell pressure. Masternodes mint 5.5 XDC a block — about 21.7M over 90 days. No scheduled unlock landed in this window.
Buy pressure. 20% of transaction fees are burned — small, scaling with usage; there is no buyback.
Net. Roughly flat — block-reward emission is offset by the fee burn and by XDC locked into new masternodes.
Masternodes mint 5.5 XDC per block at ~2-second blocks — about 21.7M XDC over 90 days (~0.43%/yr), the network's only source of new supply.
No scheduled unlock landed in this window. The most recent cliff released 841M XDC on Feb 5 2026 — before the window — so vesting flow here is zero.
Tracked overhang: ~18B XDC sits non-circulating (total ~38B minus ~20B circulating) across treasury, foundation and locked allocations, released on a partial schedule (the Feb 5 2026 unlock is the recent precedent). No in-window discretionary release — monitored.
No bankruptcy estate. Masternode collateral (10M XDC each) locks supply for validators rather than adding it.
No protocol buyback on XDC.
20% of transaction fees are permanently burned, scaling with on-chain activity. XDC fees are tiny, so the absolute pace is small and not cleanly quantifiable this window — monitored, booked zero.
No Foundation accumulation programme.
Masternode collateral locking is counted as a removed overhang, not a buy. No new lockup programme with an announced quantum.
