Proposal Summary

The Telcoin Association Treasury Council submits TANIP-012 to formalize the TEL token rewards allocation for Q2 2026. Following the landmark Telcoin Digital Asset Bank charter approval by the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance and the successful rollout of Telcoin Wallet V4, this framework ensures sustainable incentive distribution across all Telcoin ecosystem stakeholders.

The proposed allocation retains the Phase 1 staker issuance parameters (3,205,128.205 TEL/week to stakers) established in TANIP-001 while expanding the developer grant pool by 5% to support the maturing TAN (Telcoin Application Network) developer ecosystem. TELx liquidity mining rewards reflect updated Polygon DeFi market conditions.

All reward distributions operate via deployed staking contracts on the Polygon Network. Rewards are distributed pro-rata based on referred users' fees paid and personal fees paid, subject to per-staker caps tied to the lowest stake held within each weekly period and the Maximum Issuance Rule.

A referral code from an eligible participating staker must be entered at registration to link your account to the referral reward graph used for pro-rata distribution.
3
Use a Registered TAN Application
