Mint

• Back to bostrom tokenomics

A neuron burns $H through mint to create $V or $A. The $H is sent to the x/resources module, burned immediately and permanently. $V or $A are created in return and delivered to the neuron in the same block.

The Price

The cost to mint 1 unit of $V or $A in $H:

price = baseAmount / supplyDecay

baseAmount is fixed per token (1B H for $V, 100M H for $A). supplyDecay falls with every mint ever made. The price can only go up.

Supply Decay

Every mint call computes a decay factor from the total cumulative supply of the resource (including burned units):

supplyDecay = 0.5 ^ (totalSupply / halfLife)

halfLife(V) = 4,000,000,000
halfLife(A) = 32,000,000,000

Each unit of $V or $A ever minted — including $V burned by cyberlinks — permanently raises the cumulative supply floor and reduces the output of every subsequent mint.

The $A half-life (32B) is 8x larger than $V (4B). $V gets expensive 8x faster — writing to the graph ($V) is scarcer than influencing focus ($A).

$A is not burned — it remains in the neuron account and continuously weights their cyberlinks in the relevance machine via diffusion.

No oracle, governance vote, or external trigger required. scarcity increases automatically and continuously as the network is used.
