The Entros utility token. An SPL Token-2022 mint on Solana with the Confidential Balances extension, enabling private balance and transfer amounts while maintaining on-chain verifiability.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Standard | SPL Token-2022 |
| Extension | Confidential Balances (ElGamal + Sigma proofs) |
| Decimals | 6 |
| Supply | Fixed at genesis |
Confidential Balances encrypt token amounts using twisted ElGamal encryption. The network verifies transfers via zero-knowledge range and equality proofs without learning the amounts. Balances remain private to the holder.
Validator staking. Validators stake Entros tokens to join the Anonymity Ring and participate in verification attestations. Stake size determines selection weight in VRF-based validator assignment.
Governance. Entros token holders vote on protocol parameters: minimum stake thresholds, trust score weights, challenge expiry, fee structure. One token, one vote. Staked tokens carry governance weight.
| Allocation | Share | Vesting |
|---|---|---|
| Community | 40% | Unlocked at genesis |
| Ecosystem grants | 20% | 12-month linear |
| Treasury | 15% | Protocol-controlled |
| Team | 15% | 24-month linear, 6-month cliff |
| Initial liquidity | 10% | Unlocked at genesis |
Launch mechanism: MetaDAO or curated community sale. The first airdrop goes to Entros-verified humans only.
Users pay ~0.005 SOL per verification as a protocol fee. Fees accumulate in an on-chain treasury PDA — transparent, auditable. Integrators read on-chain verification state for free. Revenue flows to the treasury, which buys Entros tokens on the open market and distributes them to active validators as staking rewards.
User pays ~0.005 SOL per verification
→ protocol treasury PDA collects fees
→ treasury buys Entros tokens on open market
→ validators earn staking rewards
→ better security → more integrations → more verifications
The token program integrates with two other Entros Protocol programs:
- entros-registry (
protocol-core): Reads validator stake amounts to determine Anonymity Ring eligibility and VRF selection weight. The registry'sregister_validatorinstruction will accept Entros token stakes alongside SOL. - executor-node: Reads validator stake amounts for validation node eligibility. Validators earn protocol fee revenue proportional to stake and performance.

Phase 7 (as of 2026-05-04). The program scaffold is in place. Implementation begins after the external security audit of the core protocol (Phase 6).
