Token Supply Breakdown

Previous$NDEX Token UtilityNextVesting Schedule

Last updated 9 hours ago

Hard Cap:

1 Billion NDEX (fixed, non-inflationary)

  • The total supply is capped at 1 billion NDEX tokens, ensuring that no new tokens will be created beyond this limit. This ensures a deflationary structure, where the value of the token may increase over time due to scarcity.


Token Distribution Breakdown:

20% – Staking & Rewards

200 million NDEX allocated for staking and rewards. This portion will be used to incentivize token holders to lock up their NDEX tokens, participate in staking, and earn rewards. This encourages long-term investment and reduces token circulation, which can positively impact the token's price. Rewards may be distributed through:

  • Staking incentives: Stakers earn NDEX based on the number of tokens they lock.

  • Liquidity mining: Rewards for liquidity providers on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and other platforms.

  • Participation bonuses: Rewards for active involvement in the ecosystem (e.g., voting in governance, participating in protocol upgrades).


20% – Founders & Core Team (2-year vesting, 6-month cliff)

200 million NDEX allocated for the founding members, the development team, and early employees.

  • The vesting schedule is designed to ensure that the team remains aligned with the long-term success of nodex. This means that the tokens allocated to the team will gradually become available over a 2-year period, with a 6-month cliff (the first release will only happen after 6 months).

  • This allocation ensures that the team is incentivized to work towards the project's success over time, aligning their interests with the health and growth of the token.

15% – Ecosystem Growth

150 million NDEX allocated to growing and expanding the nodex ecosystem. This can include initiatives such as:

  • Partnerships and collaborations with other blockchain projects, DeFi protocols, or enterprise-level institutions.

  • Incentive programs aimed at encouraging developers to build on the nodex platform, including grants, hackathons, and bounties.

  • Marketing and outreach to expand the community, raise awareness, and increase adoption of NDEX. This includes influencer partnerships, community events, and PR campaigns.

  1. 10% – Governance & DAO Incentives 100 million NDEX allocated for the governance mechanism and DAO incentives.

    • This allocation is designed to ensure that the NDEX holders have control over key decisions in the protocol, such as upgrades, changes in tokenomics, or the direction of the project.

    • DAO treasury: A portion of these tokens may be used for the DAO treasury, to fund decentralized proposals and community-driven initiatives.

    • Governance rewards: Token holders who participate in governance (voting on proposals, decisions) are rewarded with NDEX to incentivize active participation.

10% – Treasury & Reserves.

100 million NDEX set aside for future treasury and reserves.

  • This fund will serve as a buffer for any unforeseen expenses, market fluctuations, or liquidity needs.

  • Strategic partnerships and acquisitions: The reserve fund can be utilized for future M&A activities, strategic investments, or purchasing external assets that benefit the growth of the nodex ecosystem.

  • Risk management: These tokens can also be used as a hedge against market volatility or to maintain the stability of the project during bear markets or other challenging times.

  1. 5% – Public Token Sale 50 million NDEX allocated for public sale.

    • This allocation will be made available to the general public during an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), Initial DEX Offering (IDO), or other fundraising mechanisms.

    • This is typically designed to allow the public and retail investors to buy into the token, contributing to liquidity and creating a broader base of token holders.

    • The funds raised through this sale can go towards product development, marketing, and building out the ecosystem.
