Dear Beldians,
It’s time for an update on BDX tokenomics and the coins released during the first three quarters of 2022. This is in fact overdue and we would like our community to be updated on the current status of BDX allocated for ecosystem development and other purposes.
The total supply (excluding the coins that are minted as rewards for validators since POS went live on Dec 10, 2021) is classified into eight different categories and allotted to various multisig wallets. Each of these allocations has a purpose such as ecosystem development, marketing, seed and VC allocation, legal operations, early adopter rewards, team allocation, and exchange liquidity.
BDX allocated for various purposes (as of Dec 10, 2021)
For every quarter, coins are released according to their vesting schedule and utilized for various purposes respectively. In the past three quarters, Beldex has undergone many new developments, dApp releases, exchange listings, etc. For each of these developments, an allocation of BDX that was released was spent. Below is the detailed explanation of how Beldex makes use of the allocated funds and its percentage with respect to the total supply.
