Purpose: Fun memecoin for experimental network testing via pump.fun mechanism
Requirement: Variable $1DEV tokens burned based on node type
# Dynamic pricing based on network burn progress (exponential decay curve)
Light Node: 1,500-300 $1DEV burned (decreases as total network burn % increases)
Full Node: 1,500-300 $1DEV burned (decreases as total network burn % increases)
Super Node: 1,500-300 $1DEV burned (decreases as total network burn % increases)
# Price reduction mechanism:
# 0% burned: 1,500 $1DEV per node
# 50% burned: ~750 $1DEV per node
# 80-90% burned: 300 $1DEV per node (minimum Phase 1 price)
# At 90% burned or 5 years: Transition to Phase 2 (QNC activation)Performance: 424,411 TPS achieved (verified June 2025) โก
Architecture: Microblock + Macroblock hybrid
Microblocks: 1 second intervals
Macroblocks: 90 second intervals (90 microblocks)
Mechanism: QNC payment to Pool #3 (no burning, redistributed to all active nodes)
Transition: At 90% $1DEV burned OR 5 years from first block creation
# Phase 2: Dynamic QNC pricing based on network size
Light Node: 2,500-15,000 QNC (base: 5,000 QNC)
Full Node: 3,750-22,500 QNC (base: 7,500 QNC)
Super Node: 5,000-30,000 QNC (base: 10,000 QNC)
# Network size multipliers:
# 0-100K nodes: 0.5x (early network discount)
# 100K-300K nodes: 1.0x (standard pricing)
# 300K-1M nodes: 2.0x (high demand)
# 1M+ nodes: 3.0x (mature network premium)
