Name: Zentra Token (ZNT) Max Supply: 21 000 000 ZNT Unit: 1 ZNT ≔ 1 KB of on-chain storage Global State Cap: 21 GB of on-chain “space” available to all dApps, mirroring the 21 million cap of ZNT tokens.By tying total token supply to a fixed amount of on-chain storage, Zentra enforces true scarcity both in currency and in the blockchain’s global state. How “Space” Works:State (Chessboard): Only the current placement of each “piece” (balances, contract data, pointers) lives on-chain.History (Moves): Every past transaction is archived off-chain—no need to bloat the live state.Why 21 GB Is Plenty: Most contracts occupy just bytes-to-kilobytes; heavy assets (files, media) remain off-chain, referenced by hashes.Utility & DemandSpace Allocation (“Buy or Rent”)Deploying a dApp: You must lock (buy or rent) ZNT proportional to your code’s size.Finite Capacity: If you unlock your ZNT, your space frees up and your dApp goes offline, ensuring continuous demand for locked tokens.Transaction Fees & OperationsAll on-chain interactions (transactions, contract calls) require ZNT in your wallet, just as Ethereum uses ETH for gas.Application Growth → State ValueMore dApps on Zentra increase competition for limited storage, driving up both:ZNT locked (sustained demand)Value of the global state (as a scarce, appreciated resource)Incentives for Long-Term HoldingLocking = Commitment: Locking ZNT to power a dApp ties up tokens long-term.App Goes Offline if Unlocked: Discourages short-term speculation and aligns holder incentives with network health.Yield via Utility: Instead of staking rewards, holders gain through the appreciation of ZNT as on-chain space becomes more valuable.
