Circulating Supply Curve

The above vesting schedules correspond to the following TUR circulating supply curve

TUR Token Release Schedule

Token Inflation

Inflation is subject to a fixed 5% inflation rate divided into 3 components:

1% is used for Collator rewards

2.5% is used for staking rewards

1.5% is used for subsequent Parachain Slots

This inflationary force will be constant throughout the duration of the network’s life apart from the first 2 months. Additionally, it will be counterbalanced through burning of transaction fees which are expected to result in the token becoming slightly deflationary over time.

Due to OAK Network onboarding collators over the first 2 months, staking and collator rewards will not be granted. Therefore inflation will not be activated for the first 2 months of the TUR launch.

TUR Staking Rate of Return as a Function of Time (assuming 50% staking rate)

Figure 3: TUR Staking rates of return. Staking and collators rewards will not be activated until the network has been running for approximately 3 months and external collators are onboarded.
