Tokenomics của Pharos (PROS)

Prosper is a decentralized protocol that bridges institutional-grade Bitcoin mining power on-chain. Its token economics are designed to create a sustainable "flywheel" effect by tokenizing Bitcoin hashrate as omnichain real-world assets (RWA).

Issuance Mechanism

Prosper utilizes a hashrate-per-token model for its native token, PROS. The protocol's foundation acquires and manages Bitcoin mining hardware (such as the 7,000 ASIC miners acquired from BITMAIN). This underlying hashrate backs the token supply, and the model is designed to ensure that each token represents an increasing share of mining power over time as the protocol expands its capacity.

Allocation Mechanism

While specific percentage breakdowns for the total supply were not detailed in the provided records, the allocation of resources and rewards is structured across several key stakeholders:

• Token Foundation: Owns the mining hardware and manages the hashrate-per-token ratio. It also manages a treasury to increase protocol resilience.
• Community/DAO: Token holders govern the protocol through a DAO structure, influencing decisions and engaging in ecosystem development.
• Strategic Partners: Includes industry leaders like BITMAIN (for hosting and hardware) and ANTPOOL (for mining pool services).
• Investors: Supported by strategic funding from entities such as Metalpha, Waterdrip Capital, BIT Mining, and Animoca Brands.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The PROS token serves multiple utility and incentive functions within the ecosystem:

• Governance: Token holders can vote on protocol decisions, contribute ideas, and shape the future of the ecosystem.
• Bitcoin Rewards: The protocol generates Bitcoin through its mining operations. Since November 2024, Prosper has distributed over 2 BTC in rewards to PROS token holders.
• Liquidity Farming: Prosper has shifted focus toward liquidity farming to enhance execution quality for holders.
• Staking Incentives: Users can participate in specific tasks, such as staking at least 20 PROS tokens on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) via the Prosper DApp to earn rewards or participate in airdrop events.
• Receipt Tokens: When staking PROS, users may receive rePROS tokens, which serve as a receipt for their staked position.

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

Prosper employs specific locking and vesting structures to ensure long-term alignment:

Specific global unlocking schedules or cliff periods for the total PROS supply were not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, though the protocol emphasizes a "built to last" strategy with institutional-grade hashrate intended for long-term sustainability.
