Canton Network (CC) unveils dynamic supply model, denies fixed maximum supply cap

ChainCatcher News, Canton Network recently issued an announcement to clarify the market's misunderstanding that its native token Canton Coin (CC) has a "supply cap" of 100 billions, and explained its dynamic supply model.

The official statement said that CC adopts a supply mechanism similar to Ethereum and Solana, with an unlimited cap but actually stable supply. CC has no fixed cap, but every transaction burns CC, offsetting new issuance. The higher the network usage, the more is burned, resulting in lower net issuance and ultimately forming a mint-burn equilibrium (BME).

The official emphasized that the value of CC should be measured by market capitalization rather than the theoretical supply cap.

Supply outlook and key milestones:

• After entering BME, the total supply will fluctuate stably around network demand. According to the current model, if equilibrium is achieved in 2026, the total supply in 2034 may be less than 50 billions.

• January 1, 2026 will see a "double halving": total block issuance will be halved, and the Super Validator (SV) share will drop from 48% to 20%.

• Another "double halving" will occur three years later, with the SV issuance share further reduced to 10%, making it the only major source of inflation that gradually shrinks.

Canton Network stated that more than 1 billion CC have been cumulatively burned, with the current daily burn value at about $900,000. As issuance decreases, it is expected that by the early 2030s, the inflation rate of CC will become one of the lowest among mainstream Layer-1s.
