Tokenomics & Economics
Axion DAO has undergone a full tokenomic transformation designed for long-term sustainability, transparent mechanics, and meaningful utility. This section explains the new AXND token, its max supply structure, how minting and staking work, and the roles of the Accelerator and Collider.
The AXND Token
Ticker: AXND
Blockchain: BASE (Ethereum Layer 2)
Type: ERC-20
Total maxSupply: 250,000,000 AXND
Launch Date on BASE: Mid-August, 2025
AXND replaces the legacy AXN token from the Polygon network, following a DAO-approved reverse split and contract overhaul. No airdrop will be conducted; holders must claim their AXND once we have relaunched on BASE. Once the dashboard has been built, members will be able to walk through the process easily.
Reverse Split Overview
Ratio: 4,500 AXN = 1 AXND
Rounding: Rounded up per wallet
Stakes: Preserved and recalculated proportionally at their matured value
Claiming: Required via official dApp – yet to be released
This change dramatically reduced the token supply to improve long-term value, remove bloated token inflation, and reset the foundation for new staking mechanics.
Token Allocation Breakdown
Claim Pool
35%
Allocated to previous AXN holders for claim (not all will be claimed)
Rewards Pool
15%
Interest payouts for matured stakes (minted on maturity only)
Accelerator Pool
15%
Staking bonus disbursements (minted per stake from Accelerator)
Strategic Reserve
15%
Protocol-controlled liquidity for trading and V3 position management
Foundation Fund
10%
DAO initiatives, growth, and strategic expansion (approved by DAO vote)
Treasury Fund
10%
Operational costs, staffing, legal, infrastructure (approved by DAO vote)
Total: 100% of 250M maxSupply Minting is strictly controlled and limited to staking-related activity and DAO-authorized programs.
Deflationary Mechanics
Axion DAO is transitioning to a deflationary tokenomic model. Unlike the prior AXN system, no inflationary minting occurs unless tied to:
Active stakes through the Accelerator
Staking interest paid from the Rewards Pool (upon maturity)
DAO-approved disbursements from Foundation or Treasury funds
There is no inflation schedule, and no tokens are minted without a direct user or DAO action.
The Accelerator
The Accelerator is the DAO’s primary staking mechanism and token distribution engine.
Key Functions:
Users send USDC (or other approved purchasing tokens) to stake AXND
60% of the stake value is used to buy AXND on the open market
40% of stake value is minted from the Accelerator Pool and added to the user’s stake
Bonuses will be applied based on stake duration & NFTs
Accelerator proceeds are allocated:
20% → Foundation Fund
20% → Treasury Fund
60% → Market Buyback and Stake
This model ensures value is continually circulated back into the ecosystem while preserving the maxSupply cap.
The Collider (As A Promotional Tool)
The Collider is a gamified promotional tool that converts NFTs into potential bonus stakes. It was retained by community vote for future marketing and engagement.
Collider Mechanics (on BASE):
Users receive Collider NFTs through promotions or dApp interactions
NFTs can be used to attempt a “collision”
Success rate: 20%
Rewards: 1x, 3x, or 5x stake multiplier (minimum 1-year stake)
Rewards are minted from the Accelerator Pool
The Collider will be sunset once 80% of the Accelerator Pool has been exhausted
Polygon Collider NFTs will not carry over to BASE and must be used before migration.
Staking & Interest
Staking Token: AXND
Minimum Stake Length: 1 year
Interest Source: Rewards Pool (15% of maxSupply)
Interest Minting: Interest can be withdrawn every 30 days with DAO Membership
Compound Options: DAO may later vote to add compounding incentives or NFT wrappers
Staking Length Determines Interest Earned
Stakes That Are One Year or Longer Earn - 4% interest
Stakes That Are Two Years or Longer Earn - 5% interest
Stakes That Are Three Years or Longer Earn - 6% interest
Stakes That Are Four Year or Longer Earn - 7% interest
Stakes That Are Five Year or Longer Earn - 8% interest
Interest rates will vary based on stake length, available Rewards Pool tokens, and optional DAO parameters introduced via future proposals.
Future Adjustments
All tokenomics changes are ratified through a DAO vote. Axion DAO reserves the right to:
Adjust staking bonuses or durations
Expand reward mechanisms
Retool the Accelerator (via smart contract upgrade)
Launch additional utility-based tokens or NFT staking options
Any changes must be approved through a verified governance process.
