Aleph Zero Mainnet 13.4: Max Supply and New Inflation Model Implemented!
Oct 14, 2024

We are thrilled to announce that the Aleph Zero Mainnet has successfully upgraded to version 13.4!
This highly anticipated release brings a first of its kind update to the network’s economic model—voted on and approved by the Aleph Zero community. Following rigorous testing on the Testnet, these changes are now live on Mainnet, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of Aleph Zero’s ecosystem.
What’s New in Mainnet 13.4?
1. 520M Maximum Supply Cap
Aleph Zero now features a maximum supply cap of 520 million AZERO. This change is a critical step toward creating greater predictability and long-term stability within the network’s economy.
2. Exponentially Decreasing Inflation
The new inflation model introduces an exponentially decreasing emission rate, starting with 27 million AZERO minted in the first year after the upgrade. This replaces the previous model, which issued 30 million AZERO annually and is designed to progressively reduce inflationary pressure over time.
This is a runtime-only release, so validator nodes don’t need to be updated.
A historic moment for Aleph Zero
The new economic model is the first to be directly shaped by the community through governance voting. It marks a new era of decentralization and community-driven decision-making. With the introduction of a supply cap and a more sustainable inflation model, Aleph Zero is now more appealing to long-term holders, developers, and institutional participants.
We’d like to extend a special thank you to the Aleph Zero community for their participation and governance in shaping the network. We are excited to continue building a more decentralized and secure future together!
Stay tuned for more updates, and welcome to the new chapter of Aleph Zero!
