Today, we want to share the updates and highlight the invisible work that was done by the Titan Network team in the past few months.We must honestly admit that as a team focused on technology and a high-quality tokenomic model, resulting a delay on the delivery timeline compared to our original promise.We greatly appreciate our community’s support during such an essential stage of the Titan Network project development.
We are behind on tokenomics finalization. Rather than wait for a grand reveal that we originally focused on, we are now pushing improvements that address both today’s problems and generate real data to finalize the tokenomics design.Moving forward, you will see more consistent testnet updates that are small, measurable, and tied to real usage on the network.
First, we will take immediate steps to address the existing testnets situation.All adjustments in this section will take effect on August 28, 2025.
What changes: The early 120% APR ends on 28 Aug 2025. A temporary 30% APR starts the same day.
Why: 120% served its early-growth purpose but now drives excess emissions and sell pressure. Dropping to 30% slows dilution, stabilizes the market, and gives us clean room to measure the impact of commercial demand, preparing for the mainnet launch.
What changes: When your node serves paying traffic, 80% of that revenue is paid directly to you in USDC (USDT support may follow after testing). The remaining 20% is used to buy back and burn TNT4.
Why: Operators need predictable cash to cover hardware, power, and bandwidth. Paying in stablecoins addresses that directly. The buyback-and-burn connects token supply reduction to real demand, tightening the supply side as the network grows.
What changes: In addition to USDC, providers receive TNT4 equal to 40% of the revenue’s USD value. These tokens are locked and unlock post-mainnet under rules we will publish before launch.
Why: USDC keeps rigs online today; locked TNT4 aligns long-term incentives with network growth. As usage and burns increase, locked allocations create shared upside while avoiding immediate sell pressure.
Immediate fixes net effect: Lower emissions reduce background sell pressure, USDC payouts improve operator sustainability, and buyback & burn link token supply to real revenue. Locked TNT4 keeps long-term alignment intact.
Our approach is simple: balance real demand with realistic participant behavior.The immediate fixes are step one to stabilize emissions and pay operators in USDC while burning TNT4 in proportion to commercial revenue. Over the coming month, we will iterate on parameters (APR cadence, fee splits, burn frequency) using testnet data, simulations, and live traffic to keep two curves in balance: enterprise demand scaling up, and operator selling that naturally occurs.The goal is a model where cash flow, controlled emissions, and demand-driven burns maintain profitability for participants and support long-term value for the network.
Ship small, measure fast: Roll out changes in tight loops; keep what improves sustainability and UX, revert or refine what doesn’t.
Data-backed parameters: Tune APR, fees, and burn cadence with on-chain data and stress tests rather than assumptions.
Security first: Economic contracts undergo reviews, audits, and staged deployments ahead of mainnet.
Clarity before launch: Unlock schedules and allocation rules for locked TNT4 will be published publicly in advance of mainnet launch.
Contribute on GitHub: Open issues, propose improvements, or submit PRs across code, docs, and economic specs. {https://github.com/Titannet-dao/Community/discussions}
For the proposals that truly help the project, we will not only give public credit but will also provide rewards, including TNT and USDC tokens.We will absolutely ensure that true contributors are recognized and rewarded.
We are preparing a separate announcement on the mainnet chain switch — including scope, timelines, and migration steps that would greatly benefit the community and grow our presence in one of the biggest chains!Meanwhile, expect iterative testnet releases that keep dialing in the demand–supply balance and operator experience.
Sincerely,
Titan Network Team 25 August 2025
