≈ 500M validator rewards + ≈ 4.5B planned community-agent allocation; not a guaranteed hard cap.
Supply policy
Bounded genesis. Transparent blocks. No insiders.
Approximately 500 million TOS is created for produced blocks and distributed through recurring validator elections over approximately seven years. The remaining community-agent allocation, approximately 4.5 billion TOS of the five-billion total-supply policy, is planned to be created through a separately specified protocol reward mechanism, is not funded at genesis, and is never held by a treasury wallet. None of these figures is a hard consensus guarantee.
100,000 bootstrap + two 500-TOS system reserves.
Actual timing follows finalized block production.
No team, investor, foundation, ecosystem, or treasury allocation.

Effective-stake share
No finalized block means no native creation. Outages create no reward debt, catch-up multiplier, or later backfill. Transaction and service fees transfer existing TOS and continue after block creation is stopped.
How genesis is constrained
The bootstrap wallet is temporary.
Four original validators begin with equal consensus weight. Each controlling wallet may receive 20,000 TOS of stake principal plus no more than 100 TOS of measured bootstrap costs. After two overlapping elected sets succeed, the remaining main-wallet balance must be burned and its spendable balance reduced to zero.
How concentration is constrained
Open elections replace administrative allocation.
Equal bootstrap funding, an initial effective-stake factor of one, submitted-stake limits, recurring elections, operator-control disclosures, and public concentration metrics are designed to reduce single-entry dominance. The four-validator set is only a startup minimum; the public participation target is 64 independent operators and the long-term target is at least 75 eligible validators.
How creation ends
Governance tapers and then sets rewards to zero.
Finalized gross creation must be published continuously. A public taper review begins before projected validator creation reaches 495 million TOS, and governance is expected to set masterchain and basechain creation values to zero near the 500-million validator policy target. Configuration authority means the target is transparent policy, not an immutable cap.
Distribution controls reduce concentration risk; they cannot guarantee dispersed ownership.

Early rewards necessarily go to the validators then elected, and stake-proportional rewards may compound existing holdings. TOS provides no equity, debt, dividend, redemption, fixed yield, liquidity, or price support. Market value can fall, and participation remains subject to technical, custody, governance, concentration, and regulatory risk.
