Pharos releases PROS token economic model: initial supply of 1 billion tokens, zero inflation for the first 6 months

Odaily Planet Daily News: Pharos has released the economic model framework for its native token PROS, with a total initial supply of 1 billion tokens. It is positioned as a core asset for a high-performance PoS public chain targeting real-world finance (RWA).

Per the design, PROS is mainly used to pay transaction fees, provide staking-based protection to ensure network security, enable validator participation, support governance voting, and deliver ecosystem incentives, and may expand to RWA scenarios such as stablecoin collateralization.

In terms of the issuance mechanism, Pharos adopts a phased release and inflation model: after the mainnet goes live, the staking inflation rate is 0% for the first 6 months; starting from the 7th month, it is set to an annualized 5%. After that, it can be dynamically adjusted according to network conditions. Meanwhile, both the team and private placement portions are subject to a 12-month lockup plus a 36-month linear vesting. Some incentives and treasury allocations may extend for release up to 48–60 months.

Pharos states that this design is intended to reduce early sell-off pressure, strengthen alignment of long-term incentives, and build a sustainable network economy through transparent distribution and a gradual inflation mechanism.
