Hippius (SN75) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Hippius (SN75) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence SN75 price performance.
Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.
Tokenomics & Utility
What SN75 represents
SN75 is the alpha token for Hippius (Subnet 75). In Bittensor’s Dynamic TAO design, each active subnet issues its own alpha so that rewards, staking, and governance can be localized to the work that subnet performs. For Hippius, that work centers on storage delivery and chain security. Stakers acquire SN75 when they stake into Hippius; validators’ voting power and reward share are linked to alpha stake within the subnet. (greythorn.com)
Supply and emissions
Bittensor’s documentation describes a standardized emission model for alpha tokens with a halving schedule and per‑block injections of both TAO and alpha into each subnet’s liquidity reserves. At a high level, the network continuously injects liquidity and allocates new alpha to be extracted by participants (miners, validators, and stakers) according to relative stake and performance. Hippius follows this shared framework. Public materials also reference a maximum alpha supply of 21 million within the emission schedule. (docs.bittensor.com)
Marketplace revenue sharing
Beyond emissions, Hippius allocates real usage revenue. Documentation outlines a split of marketplace revenue across the ecosystem: a majority share to miners who provide storage and compute, a significant portion to validators and stakers who keep the chain secure, and a smaller slice to the treasury to fund ongoing development and growth. This coupling of token rewards with cash‑flow from services aims to align incentives around reliable delivery. (docs.hippius.com)
Utility in practice
- Staking and security: Holding and staking SN75 increases a validator’s weight and share of subnet rewards.
- Incentives for providers: Miners earn token rewards based on benchmarks and service delivery recorded on-chain.
- Payment rails: The end‑user console supports paying with fiat or through the Bittensor network. Internally, the platform mints credits (1 credit = $1) on its own blockchain for transparent billing, while alpha staking and rewards remain the backbone of subnet economics. (hippius.com)
Assumptions
- SN75 is a Bittensor subnet alpha token with a hard cap of 21,000,000 units and halving-based emission identical to TAO.
Bittensor Dynamic TAO documentation specifies alpha tokens for each subnet with 21M cap and halving schedule; subnet creators cannot arbitrarily mint.
- Genesis date modeled as 2025-03-11 for Subnet 75 (Hippius).
Official Hippius community post states SN75 launched on 2025-03-11; other third-party pages suggest March 2025 with slightly different dates. We select the official forum date.
- First halving date approximated as 2025-12-10; subsequent halvings assumed every ~4 years (1461 days) for modeling.
Bittensor halving is triggered by supply thresholds and can shift. We used the commonly referenced tracker date and standard 4-year cadence to build monthly-linear unlocks.
- Reserve injections and participant rewards are consolidated into one issuance allocation.
Per Emissions spec, each block emits alpha both to reserves (liquidity) and to alpha outstanding for miners/validators/stakers/owner. Both enter circulation and are modeled together.
- Monthly linearization within each emission period.
Actual emissions are per-block; we aggregate to monthly for charting, as allowed. This does not alter cumulative totals.
- Tail aggregation used to make unlock totals exactly equal the 21,000,000 cap.
Infinite halving series converges; we aggregate the negligible remainder beyond the 32nd halving window into a final long-dated linear tail to ensure exact sum compliance.
- No separate team/investor/TGE allocations for SN75.
Dynamic TAO docs indicate subnet owners do not control minting; emissions are protocol-defined with no premine/ICO; rewards are distributed per protocol to participants and subnet owner share.
