NXM tokenomics
NXM has an elastic token supply with no fixed cap. NXM is minted when someone buys and burnt when someone sells. At launch, the Nexus team created an initial supply of 3M tokens. The tokens were distributed as follows: 1M allocated to the Nexus Mutual Foundation, 1.3M to the team, and 700K to seed investors.
How does NXM accrue value?
NXM has intrinsic value given its ownership claim over the protocol's Capital Pool. The token price is directly linked to the performance and financial stability of the platform. NXM uses a bonding curve to determine its price, which means its value rises and falls deterministically based on its Capital Pool and the Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR). The Capital Pool refers to the funding level of the protocol, while the MCR refers to the amount required to cover all claims. If demand for cover increases, then the NXM token price should rise as there is more demand to purchase the token to pay premiums and more capital is need to cover the increased cover demand. Conversely, when claims are paid out, the Capital Pool shrinks which leads to a decrease in token price.
