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.
