Tokenomics

Supply

• Denom: uire (micro-IRE, 1 IRE = 1,000,000 uire, standard Cosmos SDK convention)
• Max supply: 1,000,000,000,000 IRE (1 trillion) — fixed forever
• Mechanism: the entire supply is minted exactly once, in the genesis block, and allocated per the distribution table below. After genesis, no code path in the chain can create new uire. This is enforced by omitting the x/mint module's periodic inflation logic entirely (see x/ire-mint/README.md) — there's no minting function to call, not even one gated behind governance.

Why this is stronger than "we promise not to inflate it"

Many tokens claim a fixed supply but retain a mint function gated by multisig/governance "just in case." That's a policy promise, not a protocol guarantee — the code can still do it. Ire's Blockchain removes the mint capability from the binary itself. Changing it would require a hard fork that every validator would have to knowingly opt into — the same bar as Bitcoin's 21M cap.

Market cap note (important honesty check)

You mentioned a "max market cap of 1 trillion." That's not something a blockchain can enforce — market cap = circulating supply × market price, and price is set by whoever is willing to buy and sell, not by protocol code. What you can enforce is the supply side (done above). If price rises, market cap rises with it; no contract can cap that without literally halting trading, which defeats the purpose of a tradable asset.

Suggested initial distribution (edit to your actual plan)

This table is a placeholder — the actual split is a product/business decision, not a technical one. The important technical property is that whatever numbers go in the genesis file are the permanent total.
