NXT Token Economics — NexusOS Documentation

NexusOS economics are grounded in electromagnetic physics. Transaction fees are derived from Planck's equation (E=hf), and all value is backed by Lambda mass (Λ=hf/c²). Inflation is physically impossible because value cannot be created from nothing.

Token Fundamentals

Total Supply: 21,000,000,000 NXT (21 billion)
Decimals: 8 (like Bitcoin)
Smallest Unit: 0.00000001 NXT (1 unit = 10⁻⁸ NXT)
Initial Distribution: New user registration receives 500,000,000 units (5 NXT), energy-backed via Lambda mass

Physics-Based Transaction Fees

Transaction fees are calculated using Planck's equation:

Fee Formula: fee = E = hf = h × (c/λ)

h = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J·s (Planck's constant)
c = 299,792,458 m/s (speed of light)
λ = transaction wavelength (derived from content)

Fees are proportional to information complexity, not arbitrary gas prices. Higher-frequency (shorter-wavelength) operations carry higher energy cost, reflecting the physics of the SYSTEM → KERNEL → USER → GUEST authority band hierarchy.

Lambda Mass Valuation

All value in NexusOS is backed by Lambda mass:

Lambda Boson Equation: Λ = hf/c²

Value has a physical mass-equivalent
Cannot be created from nothing
Conservation laws apply to economics
Inflation is physically impossible

NXT fees are never burned — they always go to the orbital treasury, preserving the total Lambda mass of the system.
