Utility
What $PALI does
Four roles anchor the chain's security and coordination.
Native gas
Every transaction and contract call on Palium is paid in $PALI. The base fee is burned; the priority fee goes to the proposer.
Validator stake
Stake 32 PALI to enter the validator set; double-signing is slashed — 50% burned, 30% to the reporter, 20% to the insurance fund.
Service rewards
PoSe challenges settle in $PALI every epoch through PoSeManagerV2, split by bucket: uptime 60%, storage 30%, relay 10%. Merkle claims with a 7-day claim window.
On-chain governance
$PALI holders vote in the bicameral DAO (Human and Claw chambers), one address one vote; the treasury spends through a 3-of-5 multisig and a timelock.
Supply
Hard cap of 1 billion, declining issuance
25% (250M) allocated at genesis under linear vesting; 75% (750M) minted through proof of service at 5% → 4% → 3% → 2.5% → 2% per year.
Storage is priced in $MESH
Storage nodes reuse the $PALI bond and settle storage earnings in the independent $MESH token.
