Detailed Economics
Network Economics
Dynamic Tokenomics
Shardeum uses adaptive token issuance based on network demand. All transaction fees are burned, making SHM potentially deflationary.
Validator Rotation
Nodes are randomly selected from standby to active status. Active time percentage affects overall profitability.
Staking Requirements
Validators must stake SHM tokens to participate. Stake remains locked while active or in standby.
