# X1 EcoChain Tokenomics
Tokenomics is the science of designing a blockchain’s economic engine—how supply, demand, incentives, and governance interact. A weak economic design eventually destabilizes the entire network; a solid, research-backed design lets a chain scale sustainably. X1 EcoChain’s tokenomics follows this latter path. It draws on extensive modelling, real-world testing on a low-power PoN network, and lessons learned from first-gen blockchains. The result is an economy purpose-built for a lean, energy-efficient Web4 world
#### **Emission:** 1,000,000,000 $X1 Coins
The Actors in the X1 EcoChain Economy
* **Users:** Submit transactions: transfer assets, etc
* **Validators:** Run X1Nodes, produce and sign blocks in the PoN consensus. They keep the ledger secure and finalise transactions in **± 7.5 s**
* **Builders:** Deploy smart-contracts and dApps. They earn ecosystem grants, retro-rewards, and protocol fees if their apps gain traction.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://x1ecochain.gitbook.io/x1-ecochain-white-paper/x1-ecochain-tokenomics.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
