Canton Network (CC) discloses dynamic supply model, denying fixed maximum supply cap

Canton Network recently issued a statement to clarify the market's misunderstanding regarding its native token, Canton Coin (CC), which has a "supply cap" of 100 billion, and to explain its dynamic supply model.

The official statement indicated that CC adopts a supply mechanism similar to Ethereum and Solana, with an infinite cap but a stable actual supply. CC does not have a fixed cap, but each transaction burns CC, offsetting new issuance. The higher the network usage, the more is burned, resulting in lower net issuance, ultimately forming a mint-burn equilibrium (BME).

The official emphasized that the value of CC should be measured by market capitalization rather than theoretical supply cap.

Supply outlook and key milestones:

• After entering BME, the total supply will fluctuate stably around network demand. According to the current model, if balance is achieved by 2026, the total supply may be below 50 billion by 2034.

• On January 1, 2026, a "double halving" will occur: the total block issuance will be halved, and the Super Validator (SV) share will decrease from 48% to 20%.

• Three years later, another "double halving" will occur, further reducing the SV issuance share to 10%, making it the only major source of inflation that gradually shrinks.

Canton Network stated that it has burned over 1 billion CC to date, with a daily burn value of approximately 900,000 USD. As issuance decreases, it is expected that by the early 2030s, the inflation rate of CC will become one of the lowest among mainstream Layer-1s.
