6. Tokenomics

The $ISONET token is the economic engine that powers the Isolation Network. Its design prioritizes utility, scarcity, and long-term sustainability, ensuring that the network can grow while maintaining decentralized governance and economic stability.

🪙 Token Overview

  • Token Name: Isolation Network Token

  • Symbol: $ISONET

  • Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 (fixed)

  • Decimals: 18

  • Inflation: None (zero-mint governance locked)

  • Deflation: Yes (burn mechanics active)

  • Consensus Role: Used for staking, node activation, governance

🔥 Burn Mechanisms

$ISONET uses multiple burn mechanisms to create deflationary pressure:

  • 2% of all routing & subscription fees

  • Slashing penalties

  • Expired enterprise credits

  • Failed authentication attempts

  • Governance-triggered burns

All burns are visible on-chain and tracked in the public dashboard.

📈 Reward Model

Base Node Staking APY ranges from 12–45%, depending on:

  • Node tier

  • Uptime

  • Bandwidth routed

  • Geographic multiplier

  • Network-wide usage

Rewards are distributed in real time and can be auto-compounded.

🔄 Circulating Supply Dynamics

At launch: 15% circulating (150M $ISONET)

Over time, circulating supply changes due to:

  • Rewards → increase

  • Burns → decrease

  • Vesting releases → increase

  • Node collateral → temporarily removed from circulation

ISONET balances deflation (burns) with utility-driven token velocity (usage).

🛡 Anti-Whale Protection

  • Max 5% supply per wallet at launch

  • Multi-sig treasury control

  • DAO oversight for liquidity decisions

  • Staking duration multipliers prevent sudden governance dominance

🌐 Liquidity Strategy

Initial liquidity is deployed across:

  • Uniswap v3 deep pool

  • Balancer weighted pool (60/40)

  • Cross-chain bridges (Arbitrum + Base)

Liquidity parameters are DAO-governed.

📊 Long-Term Sustainability

ISONET’s tokenomics model ensures:

  • Sufficient rewards for nodes

  • Adequate funding for development

  • Scarcity through burns

  • Real utility across the ecosystem

  • Reduced sell pressure via staking

The model is engineered for 10+ years of continuous network growth.

🧠 Why This Token Model Works

This structure gives $ISONET:

  • Strong utility demand

  • Continuous burn-based deflation

  • Long-term staking incentives

  • Community-driven governance

  • Global network scaling

TOKEN UTILITY + FEE FLOW + GOVERNANCE POWER = A balanced economic engine.
