Coin Economics
The ION token’s economic structure is designed to support long-term stability and responsible growth, outlining how supply is allocated, how funds are structured, and how lock periods align incentives over time.
Designed for Sustainable Ecosystem Growth
The ION token supply is structured across multiple allocation pools, each designed to support a specific function within the ecosystem. This structure ensures that development, operations, community participation, and long-term growth are all sustainably supported.
Each allocation follows clearly defined rules and purposes, with lock periods and vesting schedules applied where necessary to align incentives and protect the long-term stability of the network.
Community Pool
The community allocation represents 28% of the total ION token supply, equivalent to 5,842,127,776.35 ION, distributed to community members based on mining activity and participation during the initial phase of the project. This allocation was designed to reward early supporters who contributed to the growth and security of the network before mainnet launch.
Community tokens are not subject to a lock period and were made immediately available upon distribution. These tokens can be freely held, transferred, staked, or used in governance processes, enabling active participation in the ecosystem from day one. This structure ensures broad token distribution, early liquidity, and strong community ownership within the Ice Open Network.
