Long-Term Supply Growth Rate
This section outlines THAT’s supply dynamics and explains how its fixed issuance model fosters long-term value retention, fairness, and economic sustainability.
Supply Overview
THAT has a maximum supply of 3.3 billion tokens, all minted at the time of the Token Generation Event (TGE). These tokens are released into circulation over a 10-year vesting schedule via smart contracts, with no additional minting or inflation.
While all tokens have already been created, their entry into the market is staggered. This creates an effective supply growth curve over time:
Approximate Supply Growth Rate:
TGE: 20%
Year 1: 20.20%
Year 2: 16.80%
Year 3: 14.39%
Year 4: 12.58%
Year 5: 11.17%
Year 6: 10.31%
Year 7: 9.58%
Year 8: 8.94%
Year 9: 8.38%
Year 10: 7.89%
Year 11+: 0% (all tokens vested)
These are approximate percentages of new token availability relative to prior circulating supply.
Explanation
Because the total supply is fixed and all issuance is governed by transparent smart contracts, THAT is non-inflationary. This disinflationary release schedule ensures stability, scarcity, and predictability for both users and merchants.
Mitigating Wealth Concentration
The long-term vesting schedule encourages responsible growth and reduces the risk of early centralization. By gradually introducing tokens into the market over time—across team, company, and presale allocations—new participants have ongoing opportunities to enter the ecosystem at fair valuations.
Supply Equilibrium
Over time, some tokens may be lost (e.g., forgotten wallets, lost keys). Since no new tokens will ever be minted, this natural loss contributes to a long-term deflationary pressure on the effective supply—potentially increasing scarcity and reinforcing token value over the decades ahead.
