OS

Heleos Native Token

Technical Documentation - Version 1.0 | Effective Date: April 3, 2026

OS is the native token of the Heleos blockchain. It serves as the consensus participation asset, the gas fee denomination, and the foundation of the Stake for Access protocol across all Heleos ecosystem platforms.

Unlike the IO family of tokenized deposit denominations (which represent sovereign currency deposits issued by partner banks), OS is the ecosystem's operational token. It secures the network through validator staking, provides access to platform features through the Stake for Access protocol, and pays transaction fees for on-chain operations.

OS is the only token accepted for validator staking and network consensus participation. It is also the only token subject to the ecosystem transaction fee on transfers, at genesis. These two properties establish OS as the economic backbone of the Heleos blockchain while the IO denominations serve as the tokenized deposit layer for banking operations.

Specifications

Current Ecosystem Fee Model	Ecosystem fee applies to `uos` transfers. Ships disabled by default on testnet; enabled at mainnet launch.

Token Architecture

OS operates across two staking modules, each serving a distinct purpose within the Heleos ecosystem.

Validator Staking (x/staking).

The standard staking module governs validator consensus participation. Validator nodes stake OS through this module to participate in block production and transaction validation. The Heleos validator set is permissioned: only Heleos-authorized nodes participate in consensus. Validator staking secures the network and earns staking rewards funded by transaction fees.

Multi-Beneficiary Staking (x/hstaking).

The custom Heleos staking module enables the Stake for Access protocol and multi-beneficiary reward distribution. OS holders stake through x/hstaking to access platform features across the ecosystem (Superglow, Tilus, StableNow, EquityLayer, Optionality, Optionality, AgentSchool). Staking rewards from x/hstaking are funded by transaction fees generated across all Heleos platforms.

Gas Fees.

All on-chain transactions pay gas fees denominated in uos. Gas fee parameters are governance-configurable and set at launch to support efficient transaction processing while generating sustainable network revenue. IO denomination transfers (USDIO, EURIO, etc.) are currently exempt from the ecosystem fee, though this policy is subject to evolution as the network matures.

Reward Model.

Staking rewards are funded exclusively by transaction fees. There is no inflationary minting for reward distribution. As platform transaction volume grows (StableNow bank operations, Superglow application access, Tilus investor flows, EquityLayer loan origination), the transaction fee pool grows proportionally, increasing staking rewards organically. This creates a direct relationship between ecosystem utility and staking yield.

Circulating Supply at Genesis: 2,244,000,000 OS (6.69% of total supply)

Governance and Control

The Heleos blockchain operates under centralized institutional governance during its formative period.

Validator Set. The validator set is permissioned and operated by Heleos-authorized nodes. No external party can influence block production, modify transaction validation rules, or alter module parameters without Heleos authorization. Token distribution does not affect consensus control. A token holder with any amount of OS has zero ability to insert a validator node into the active set unless explicitly authorized by Heleos.

Governance Authority. Chain parameter changes, module upgrades, and validator set modifications are governed by Heleos, LLC. As the network matures and institutional partners (partner banks, regulated financial institutions) join as validator operators, governance expands in a controlled, permissioned manner.

Economic Control. At genesis, Heleos-controlled wallets (Foundation, platform wallets, network wallets) hold 93.18% of total supply. Circulating supply expands gradually through defined distribution mechanisms tied to real business activity: bank onboarding (StableNow), investor matching (Tilus), application marketplace growth (Superglow), and platform adoption (Optionality, Optionality, EquityLayer).

Stake for Access

The Stake for Access protocol enables OS holders to access platform features across the Heleos ecosystem by staking tokens through the x/hstaking module. Access tiers are determined by stake amount and duration.

Stake for Access is designed to support multi-denomination staking in future protocol versions. The current implementation accepts OS exclusively. As the platform evolves, IO denominations (USDIO, EURIO, JPYIO, and others) may become eligible for Stake for Access participation, enabling tokenized deposit holders to access platform features without converting to OS.

Platforms currently integrated with Stake for Access:

Tilus - Stake OS to participate in real estate syndication investment opportunities
StableNow - Stake OS to access premium bank integration features
EquityLayer - Stake OS to access staking-accelerated lending tiers
