Node-Based Distribution
Operator-Driven Distribution
EXPL tokens only enter circulation when a Node operator initiates a mint. Each mint triggers automated allocation across all designated escrows at fixed, contract-enforced ratios.
Daily Minting Permission
Each EXPL Node generates a daily minting permission of 574.30 EXPL (or 591.40 EXPL if purchased via referral code). This includes 10 EXPL designated as Founding Contributors Royalty.
Operators can mint daily or accumulate permissions and mint later. Until minted, the tokens do not exist in the ecosystem.
Distribution Breakdown
When an operator mints, the 574.30 EXPL distributes automatically:
| Destination | Amount | Share |
|---|---|---|
| ONE venture escrow | 171 EXPL | 29.77% |
| ONE care escrow | 171 EXPL | 29.77% |
| Node operator reward | 171 EXPL | 29.77% |
| Community Grants escrow | 34.2 EXPL | 5.96% |
| Developer Incentives escrow | 17.1 EXPL | 2.98% |
| Founding Contributors Royalty | 10 EXPL | 1.74% |
The two largest escrows -- ONE venture and ONE care -- each receive 171 EXPL, matching the operator reward. Community Grants and Developer Incentives receive smaller allocations directed at ecosystem growth.
Founding Contributors Royalty
Each Node generates an additional +10 EXPL daily as royalty for founding contributors. This allocation replaces the former TNO Cards program and distributes the same 1.38% of total supply (771,000,000 EXPL) gradually through Nodes over 731 days across all 100,000 Nodes.
This gradual distribution model:
- Eliminates large one-time mints that create sell pressure
- Aligns founder incentives with long-term ecosystem health
- Maintains predictable token economics
- Ensures daily-paced release instead of lump-sum distribution
Referral Bonus
If a Node was purchased via referral code, daily minting increases to 591.40 EXPL (574.30 + 17.1). The extra 17.1 EXPL goes directly to the referrer's address.

Design Principles
-
Flexible Minting
Operators mint daily or accumulate permissions with no expiration. No time pressure to claim.
-
Non-Custodial Escrows
All escrow allocations are automated and transparent. No intermediary holds funds.
-
Referral Rewards
Nodes purchased via referral generate an additional 17.1 EXPL/day, paid directly to the referrer.
-
Immutable Ratios
Allocation percentages are fixed in the smart contract. No admin can change them post-deployment.
