Every number on this page is a design target published in advance, not a promise of performance. Parameters marked proposed in the whitepaper are validated on the testnet and may change through governance before mainnet. Where a figure can be read directly from a contract, this page links to it so you can check it yourself rather than take our word for it.

1 · Supply

OMC is a BEP-20 token on BNB Chain with a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000. There is no inflation parameter and no mechanism that can raise the cap.

Two mechanisms reduce supply. Nothing increases it:

  • Fee buyback and burn. Every settled job pays a 3% protocol fee; 30% of that fee buys OMC on the market and burns it automatically. That is 0.9% of settled job volume.
  • Slashing burn. 20% of any slashed stake is burned. See section 6.

The remaining 70% of each protocol fee goes to the Reputation Reward Pool held by the Treasury contract, and is distributed to nodes in proportion to reputation-weighted verified work.

2 · Distribution

The full 1,000,000,000 supply is allocated at deployment. Nothing is held back outside these seven categories.

The community airdrop is listed separately from the investor allocations on purpose: it is free, it requires no purchase, and it is the only allocation a participant can earn without entering a sale.

3 · Circulating supply at TGE

About 65,500,000 OMC — 6.55% of maximum supply — enters circulation on day one (2027 Q1, January 1):

No team or core-contributor tokens unlock at TGE. That allocation is subject to a 12-month cliff and then vests monthly over 24 months, so it cannot reach the market before 2028. Node rewards likewise start at zero and are released only against verified work (section 5).

A public vesting dashboard is planned to show locked and unlocked balances for every category against the contract balance.

Compute mining and node rewards0%—Emission schedule, section 5

5 · Emission schedule for node rewards

The 500,000,000 OMC node-reward pool is released in equal annual instalments over ten years — 50,000,000 OMC per year, 10% of the pool each year, released linearly by day within the year. There is no halving step and no epoch structure: a provider joining in year 7 mines against the same annual ceiling as one that joined in year 1.

The schedule is deliberately flat. A halving curve front-loads roughly three quarters of the pool into the first four years and leaves late-joining providers with a fraction of the early rate. A flat curve keeps the reward for a given unit of verified work legible across the whole decade, which is what an operator buying hardware to run for several years actually needs in order to underwrite the decision.

Emission is a ceiling, not an entitlement. Rewards are paid only against verified work, and daily emission is scaled by network utilisation — the proposed function is daily emission = ceiling × min(1, U / Utarget), where U is paid GPU-hours divided by online available GPU-hours and Utarget is 60%. Emission that is not distributed goes to an Emission Reserve, and only a DAO vote can burn it or release it again. New supply therefore tracks real usage rather than the calendar.

6 · Staking ladder and slashing

Nodes stake OMC before they may accept jobs. The required amount is a published five-rung ladder with a fixed OMC figure per rung. The same ladder is used on the testnet and at mainnet, so a node registered on the testnet is already positioned for the tier it will hold at launch.

TierHardware classMinimum stake (OMC)
1Consumer GPU, up to 24 GB VRAM (RTX 3090 / 4090 class)20
2Workstation / professional GPU (RTX A6000, L40S class)100
3Data-centre GPU, 80 GB class (A100 / H100 single card)500
4Multi-GPU data-centre node (2–8 accelerators)1,000
5Cluster-scale deployment (multi-node)5,000

The steps are non-linear by design. Tier 1 is priced at one airdrop entry (20 OMC) and tier 2 at one full airdrop (5 × 20 = 100 OMC), so a wallet that maxes out the community airdrop reaches tier 2 without buying anything. Tiers 3–5 escalate hard, because a node at those levels is underwriting data-centre and cluster-scale capacity and carries a proportionally larger slashing exposure. The ladder fixes the OMC amount, not a dollar amount.

Slashing penalties, as a percentage of the stake:

OffencePenalty
Job timeout2%
Unexpected offline during an active job5%
Incorrect output (failed verification)30%
Proven fraud or fake heartbeat100%

Slashed tokens are split 50% to compensate affected requesters, 30% to the DAO Treasury and 20% burned. The whole split is applied by the staking contract itself; the compute-market contract does not pay any of it a second time.

7 · The staking reward ceiling

Node rewards are emitted at a rate per second, and a fixed rate pays the same absolute amount however little is staked — which, over a nearly empty pool, would imply a meaningless annualised figure. The scope of that problem is bounded by arithmetic, not by policy: the staking contract clamps the rate it actually pays to a ceiling derived from the total amount staked, and both the ceiling and the rate in force are readable from the contract at any time.

Three properties matter, and all three are enforced on-chain:

  • It is a maximum, not a promise. It bounds what a staker can be paid per unit of stake. It never raises that bound, and it never guarantees a payout.
  • It needs no price oracle. Rewards and stake are denominated in the same token, so the bound is pure arithmetic and cannot be dodged by moving a price.
  • It releases itself. While total stake is small the ceiling binds and the emission schedule is irrelevant; as stake grows the ceiling stops binding on its own and the schedule in section 5 takes over.

This site publishes no advertised rate of return, because none exists. Staking on OMC is a security deposit that can be partially or fully slashed, not a yield product. The live rate in force is shown on the Staking page, read from the contract.

8 · Contracts

The live contracts are on BNB Smart Chain Testnet (chainId 97). They are published here so that everything above can be checked against the chain rather than against this page.

These are testnet contracts and tOMC has no monetary value. It is not sold anywhere, it is not listed on any exchange, and it will not carry over to mainnet. Never send real funds to these addresses.

9 · Where to verify all of this

  • Whitepaper section 7 — the authoritative text for payments, distribution, the emission schedule and slashing, on the Whitepaper page.
  • Testnet page — RPC endpoints, deployment records and the node onboarding guide, at /testnet.
  • Staking page — the ladder, the live emission rate in force and the exit procedure, at /stake.
  • Repository — contract sources, deployment manifests and the automated security-testing evidence, at github.com/CBTdao/omc-network. The contracts have been through automated security testing. That is not an audit, and we do not describe it as one — see SECURITY.md.
