GalaChain’s node operator community has voted to approve a transition to a disinflationary emission model, replacing the network’s previous gap-based system. The approved proposal introduces a new emission schedule, gas fee distribution to node operators, and a permanent burn mechanism. Implementation details and milestone updates are expected to follow as the network moves toward deployment of the new model.
What Changed
- The previous gap-based emission model is being replaced with a disinflationary emission schedule.
- Every token burned under the new model is permanently removed from circulation, ending the previous reflexive minting behavior.
- Node operators will receive 50% of all gas fees collected on the network.
- The remaining 50% of gas fees will be permanently burned, reducing total token supply over time.
- A permanent emission floor of 1.5% is established to ensure ongoing rewards for node operators long term.
- Day one rewards for node operators are expected to increase based on current assumptions, alongside continuous fee-sharing.
Dates and Rollout
- The community vote concluded and the result was announced on April 30, 2026.
- Following the vote approval, the network will begin moving toward implementation, with updates shared as milestones are reached.
Numbers and Rules
- The disinflationary emission schedule starts at 15% with a 15% annual decay rate.
- A permanent emission floor is set at 1.5%, below which emissions will not fall.
- Gas fees are split evenly, with 50% going to node operators and 50% permanently burned.
