Tokenomics
1,000,000,000 KNX. Fixed supply. The largest share is earned by the network.
KNX secures Konnex — the settlement layer for verified physical work. Every token sits in one of four buckets. The biggest allocation goes to miners and validators who run the network, and is released only as the network operates.

Utility — what KNX does
KNX is staked by validators and slashed on misbehavior, pays protocol fees, and governs the network. Task settlement runs in stablecoins; KNX is the security behind every block.
