TLOS Tokenomics

Encrypted cash that powers Telos

TLOS pays for execution, supports governance, staking, and resource allocation, and moves privately through Telos Privacy. It is the asset that connects everyday users, builders, and network operators.

Telos Privacy adds encrypted transfer rails for TLOS and USDC, giving users and builders confidentiality without leaving Telos EVM.

What TLOS Does

One asset across execution, security, and privacy

The tokenomics story is strongest when it follows real use. TLOS is needed to transact on Telos EVM, allocate resources on Telos Zero, participate in governance, and move value privately through zkWallet.

Gas

Telos EVM uses TLOS as its native gas currency. Users need it to send transactions, interact with smart contracts, and keep app activity economical.

Privacy

zkWallet gives TLOS encrypted transfer rails, with shielded payments, private memos, and batch transfers for real-world workflows.

Governance

TLOS is the primary token for Telos governance, giving holders a direct role in upgrades, elected roles, and network decisions.

Security

Staking, resource allocation, and block producer economics help keep Telos Zero coordinated, performant, and accountable.

Current mechanics

Tokenomics tied to network utility

TLOS is built around live network utility. It pays for gas, supports governance, resource allocation and staking, and can move privately through zkWallet. The supply figures above update from the Telos API, so the numbers reflect the current network picture.

That makes TLOS more than a market ticker. It is the utility layer behind public app execution, private payments, community decision-making, and the infrastructure that keeps the network running.

Monthly fee burn
Privacy-enabled transfers
Fee-burning demand

Telos EVM gas fees are collected into a fees account and burned monthly, so network usage can directly reduce available supply.

Encrypted payment rails

TLOS remains visible when users want transparency, and shielded when they need private value transfer through zkWallet.

Builder ready

Developers can build private payment flows, confidential user experiences, and EVM apps that use TLOS as the native economic layer.

Start using TLOS privately

Launch zkWallet for shielded TLOS and USDC transfers, or open the docs to build on the Telos Privacy layer.
