Sonic said the first ecosystem-growth allocation had originally been set for June 18, 2025, but the mint was not carried out this year as the team works to prevent further supply increases.

Summary

Sonic said its tokenomics had called for minting 47.625 million S each year to fund growth, with the first allocation originally scheduled for June 18, 2025. The team said it did not carry out the mint this year and is now working to stop further increases in token supply. The remaining unresolved issue is validator rewards, as Sonic studies how to fund network security without continuing S token inflation.
