Alchemy Chain has introduced a new supply framework for its native token, ACH, as it advances its vision of building a stablecoin payment-native Layer-1 blockchain. The move comes as the network expands its global payment operations and shifts toward a more protocol-driven infrastructure model.
The framework is designed to align token economics with network growth, security, and long-term sustainability. As part of the adjustment, the total ACH supply will increase from 10 billion to 10.8 billion tokens in 2026, representing an approximate 6% rise in both total and circulating supply upon execution.
According to the announcement, the updated structure follows a phased approach. In the early stage, supply growth is intended to incentivize validator participation, infrastructure deployment, and ecosystem development. This strategy aims to establish liquidity, network security, and developer momentum as Alchemy Chain scales its on-chain payment capabilities.
Over time, the framework is set to reduce supply growth, beginning at around 8% with an estimated 15% disinflation rate. The model gradually shifts away from token-based incentives toward revenue-backed sustainability, with a projected total supply of approximately 15.35 billion ACH by 2037. Governance processes will guide key parameters based on network performance and adoption levels.
A central component of the framework is a buyback mechanism. As Alchemy Chain generates revenue through transaction processing, settlement services, and merchant payments, a portion of that income will be used to acquire ACH on the open market.
The approach aims to moderate effective supply growth while linking token value more closely to real economic activity on the network. Allocations from the new supply will support validators, developers, merchant integrations, and ecosystem expansion.
Alchemy Chain said the updated framework is intended to create a sustainable economic foundation as it positions itself as a global stablecoin settlement network.
The organization has now unveiled Alchemy Chain, a dedicated Layer-1 blockchain engineered to support fast, low-cost, and predictable stablecoin transactions on a global scale.
