Tellor Token
Tellor Tributes (TRB) are the native token of the Tellor. They are used to incentivize miners to provide data through base rewards and tips via user requests. They are used for governing valid data through disputes, and for system upgrades proposed and voted on by token holders.
In the Tellor system, 50% of tips go to miners (⅕ to each selected miner) and 50% of the tips are burned each block.
The total supply of Tellor is determined by usage and mining rates. For the maximum supply, Tellor’s supply will grow at the rate of the base reward * 288 queries per day. The graph below shows the Tellor supply and the growth rate assuming full utilization:
