How Solstice links Filecoin block rewards to real demand

About this simulator

Solstice (FIP-0118) redesigns how Filecoin block rewards are allocated. Instead of rewards flowing entirely to storage mining, Solstice splits them across three streams: Consensus (Miners), Service Orchestrators (registered parties responsible for driving paying demand to Filecoin), and Burn. This simulator models how that split could evolve over the first three years after activation under different Filecoin Pay demand scenarios.

How it works: The Consensus (Miners) share declines on a fixed schedule, while the Service Orchestrator share increases only when quarterly Filecoin Pay volume clears predefined demand targets; any remaining share is burned. Consensus funding follows the same path in every scenario – demand only determines how the rest splits between Service Orchestrators and Burn.

iFIL allocated to Consensus (Miners), whose share of each block reward decreases from 95% to 50% on a fixed schedule.

Consensus (Miners)

39M FIL

65% of new issuance over 3 years

iFIL allocated to Service Orchestrators — registered parties responsible for driving paying demand to Filecoin — with a larger share earned as demand targets are reached.

Service Orchestrators

11M FIL

18% of new issuance over 3 years

iFIL permanently removed from supply when demand does not qualify for a higher Service Orchestrator share.

Burn

10M FIL

17% of new issuance over 3 years

The takeaway

Early in year 3, the orchestrator share reaches 25%, while another 25% of each block reward is burned. Steady demand growth increases service funding, but part of each block reward remains unearned and is removed from FIL supply instead.

Modeling notes. The 12-quarter window is the FIP's published 9-quarter consensus ramp shown through its terminal state. FIL amounts assume ~20M FIL/yr issuance (FIP Fig. 1, indicative). Weights are shown at quarterly resolution (quarter-end values); the FIP applies them per epoch, so ramp-period bars and cumulative figures are approximate. Q1's 5%→10% bootstrap ramp appears as a single 10% quarter. Reflects FIP-0118 as accepted, as of Sep 2026; the proposal is not yet activated on the network.
