Geno Tokenomics: Extraction, Governance, Velocity Thresholds, and Supply Cessation
Yousef Saleh · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2026
This paper formalizes the tokenomics architecture of the Governance Growth Token (Geno) within the CIC dual-token system. Its central mechanism — a 5% monthly liquidity pool extraction paired with atomic reinjection of newly minted Geno — creates a controlled dilution-value dynamic governed entirely by transaction velocity. The paper derives the critical velocity thresholds at which extraction becomes value-neutral, produces 10% net appreciation, and triggers a 20% floor that permanently fixes Geno supply (ending dilution). Post-cessation dynamics, a three-phase operational life cycle (Active Extraction, Cessation Transition, Mature Operation), and algorithmically enforced governance parameters are derived and analyzed against fixed-supply, inflationary, and algorithmic-stablecoin alternatives, with sensitivity and risk analysis included.
