Understanding the Power of @G: Inside Graphite’s Revolutionary Tokenomics

Blockchain technology has come a long way, and with it, the need for networks that aren’t just scalable but also innovative, inclusive, trustworthy, and rewarding. That’s where Graphite Network comes in. We’re building a reputation-based blockchain powered by our native token, @G, backing key operations, driving this decentralized system, and serving a purpose for different categories of stakeholders – users, developers, integrators, and investors.

In December 2024, we blew past our internal projections and closed the @G private presale in just three days. Rather than pushing a big ad campaign, we focused on attracting long-term holders, ensuring stability and avoiding short-lived hype. This not only validated our approach but also confirmed that our vision for Graphite Network is on the right track and resonates with investors.

In the upcoming section, we’ll unpack @G’s use-cases and tokenomics for a clearer picture and give the inside scoop of two exciting initiatives in the pipeline: Bank Integration Demo and a Market Staking Program.

@G, Explained

@G is the lifeblood of Graphite Network, backing our entire ecosystem, and playing a part in the following operations:

• Paying for Transaction Fees: @G is used for covering transaction fees, helping ensure that all actions on the blockchain are processed smoothly and efficiently.
• Account Activation: To keep the network clean and fair, we implemented the ‘One User, One Account’ policy that incentivizes each user to a single verified account. A small @G fee activates the account and helps us decrease fraud before it even starts.
• KYC Verification: At Graphite Network, KYC is optional, but completing it brings a better experience. The verification fee is paid in @G, and by opting in, you contribute positively to your reputation score.
• Node Operator Rewards: Both transport and authorized nodes earn a share of transaction fees paid in @G. Transport (also known as “entry-point”) nodes receive 50% of the transaction fees for facilitating transactions into the network while authorized nodes, which validate and seal blocks, earn 100% of the fees for transactions without an originating transport node and 50% of the fee for transactions involving a transport node.
• Support for Developers: @G is the main way our foundation gets its funding, which is then used to support developers with grants and projects.

You’ve probably already noticed the @ symbol used for token verification on Graphite Network. This simple symbol helps us keep things clear by immediately showing which network a token belongs to. For example, stablecoins like USD@G clearly indicate they’re part of Graphite Network. It reduces the chance of slip-ups and makes navigating across different networks easier for users.

Bank Integration Demo: Merging Blockchain with Banks

It’s hard to imagine that any Web3 technology can attract masses without being seamlessly integrated with conventional financial products and entities. By moving closer to meeting the needs of banks and other businesses, Graphite Network brings blockchain adoption to the forefront, providing compatible infrastructure for banks and other financial entities to engage with blockchain technology. To support this vision, we’re offering a Bank Integration Demo as a solution.

What Exactly is the Bank Integration Demo?

• Infrastructure Development: Building a blockchain ecosystem that government watchdogs and other entities would consider to be consistent with traditional banking standards while positioned for secure, scalable, and efficient operations.
• Partnerships and Contracts: Create strategic relationships with banks and financial institutions to drive adoption.
• Banking Integration Demonstrations: Bridging blockchain to life with real-world demos that don’t just complement traditional banking, they show how it can make the entire system faster and smarter.
• KYC Innovations: Building trust through KYC systems and reputation scores that meet institutional standards but also give users more control and flexibility.

We’re not only aiming to bring blockchain to traditional banks, but building the infrastructure to make it seamless. Also, our goal is to be the go-to blockchain for banks and institutions. Success means creating a world where bank accounts and blockchain wallets work together without users even thinking about it. That’s the vision behind the Bank Integration Demo. Sure, it’s ambitious, and the next two years require a full team effort, but we are ready to deliver.

Market Staking Program: A New Era for Active Traders

Passive staking is great and we all love it, but this area of the market is saturated and we wanted to do something different. That’s why we’re launching the Market Staking Program on March 1, 2025. It’s designed for active traders who like to keep things moving, and they’ll be rewarded weekly for their trading activity.

How Will the Market Staking Program Work?

• High-Volume Rewards: Traders with high weekly transaction volumes will earn rewards in @G.
• Incentivizing Engagement: Unlike passive staking models, this program rewards active participation which drives liquidity and engagement within the ecosystem.
• 10% Allocation: We’ve set aside 10% of the total @G token supply to fuel this program, because we’re not just thinking about rewards today. Rather, we’re building for the long term.

If this doesn’t make you want to keep the trades flowing, nothing else will. Stay tuned for all the details!

Inside @G Tokenomics

@G fuels Bank Integration Demo and the Market Staking Program. Now, let’s break down the rest of the tokenomics and show you how every piece supports the bigger picture:

• KYC Support Fees: 10%
• Community and Media Support: 8% (5% media, 3% community)
• Infrastructure and Maintenance: 5%
• Developer Grants and Hackathons: 5%
• Presale and Market Liquidity: 4%
• Miscellaneous (Charity, Team Bonuses, Legal, Offline Nodes, etc.): 28%

The Road Ahead

Graphite Network isn’t another blockchain project, it is the result of a vision. We’re redefining how crypto enthusiasts and traditional finance users can interact with money.

As the March 1 launch of the Market Staking Program approaches, excitement grows by the day. Meanwhile, the groundwork laid by Bank Integration Demo continues to pave the way for a blockchain future integrated with banks and institutions.

Graphite Network’s mission is one that the broader crypto community can get behind: to create a blockchain ecosystem that is secure, scalable, and inclusive. With @G as the lifeline, Graphite Network is on path to transform this vision into reality.

We’re building something special here at Graphite Network, and we’d love for you to be part of it. Follow us on X and join our Discord and Telegram channels to stay up-to-date on new features and all the cool things happening in our world!
