Polymesh Token POLYX Secures Regulated Asset Blockchain Through Staking
POLYX is the native utility token of Polymesh, a publicly permissioned Layer 1 blockchain built for regulated assets. It's used to pay transaction and protocol fees, secure the chain through staking, carry governance weight for holders, and align incentives between operators and users.
Polymesh does not have a fixed maximum supply and is minted through block rewards under proof-of-stake consensus. New tokens are created every era and go to operators and stakers as compensation.
POLYX staking runs on a nominated proof-of-stake model, split between two roles: Node Operators and Nominators. Node Operators run the infrastructure, while Nominators stake POLYX behind trusted operators and share in rewards earned.
The network's governance is facilitated through Polymesh Improvement Proposals (PIPs), which are formal, on-chain proposals for changing something about the network. Any POLYX holder can submit a PIP by detailing the change and bonding POLYX behind it.
