Tokenomics
Total supply
Fixed supply: 1,000,000,000 EGMO (no inflation). Scarcity and predictable economics are preserved by revoking mint authority once initial allocations are deposited into their designated PDAs.
Percentage allocations
Node Operator Rewards — 28%
Incentivizes mobile devices contributing CPU, RAM, and storage.
Ongoing emissions to scale reliably as more devices join.
Note: reduced by 2% (reallocated to Exchange Liquidity) while keeping long‑horizon emissions.
Developer Incentives — 25%
Grants, rewards, and marketplace incentives for models, SDKs, integrations.
Developers drive adoption; generous allocation sustains growth.
Ecosystem Growth Fund — 15%
Partnerships, integrations, community growth programs.
Note: reduced by 5% (reallocated to Exchange Liquidity) to explicitly provision liquidity depth.
Treasury Reserve — 10%
Governance‑controlled runway for grants, research, protocol upgrades, and strategic operations.
Note: reduced by 5% (reallocated to Airdrops) while maintaining a prudent buffer.
Team & Foundation — 10%
Reserved for founders, contributors, and the EdgeMob Foundation.
Vesting: 4‑year schedule with 1‑year cliff to align with long‑term success.
Airdrops (three phases) — 5%
Community and developer‑facing distributions to broaden ownership and bootstrap usage.
Sourced entirely from the prior Treasury allocation.
Exchange Liquidity & Market‑Making — 7%
Liquidity for DEX pools and market‑maker inventory on CEXs; enables healthy price discovery and lower slippage.
Sourced from Ecosystem (5%) and Node rewards (2%).
Airdrops (5%)
Widen holder base, reward early participants, and accelerate usage across the mobile network and developer ecosystem.
Phasing
Phase I (1.5%): app installed users, early operators, testnet contributors, and verified community members.
Phase II (1.5%): developer integrations, partner program participants.
Phase III (2.0%): public expansion with anti‑sybil protections and claim‑based distribution.
Mechanics
Prefer claim‑based distributor with proofs; recipients pay their own claim tx; unclaimed tokens after deadline return to Treasury per policy or are burned.
Recipient ATAs are created lazily or pre‑created for large allocations to control costs.
Publish airdrop addresses, proofs, and summary reports for transparency.
Exchange Liquidity & Market‑Making (7%)
Purpose
Seed and sustain DEX liquidity; provision market‑maker inventory for centralized venues; rebalance as markets evolve.
Policy
Liquidity deployments require multisig approvals and a public rationale (target pools, initial depth, fee tiers).
Disclose pool addresses, seeding tx ids, and any subsequent rebalancing moves.
Avoid surprise withdrawals; changes to liquidity posture are announced ahead of time whenever feasible.
Vesting & emissions
Node Operator Rewards (28%): distributed gradually over 10+ years to ensure sustainability and predictable incentives.
Developer Incentives (25%): released in waves aligned with milestones, SDK adoption, and ecosystem integrations.
Team & Foundation (10%): 12‑month cliff, then linear vesting over the next 36 months via programmatic vesting PDAs.
Ecosystem Growth Fund (15%) and Treasury Reserve (10%): deployed via governance processes; large grants or transfers are announced with addresses and tx references.
Governance, custody, and transparency
All allocations are minted into designated PDAs or multisig‑controlled vaults; human keys cannot directly withdraw from vesting/escrow PDAs.
Mint authority is revoked after allocations are funded; freeze authority set to None unless explicitly required by policy.
Monthly transparency report: balances per bucket, realized emissions, airdrop progress, and active liquidity pool addresses with depth snapshots.
A public JSON registry in docs lists all PDA addresses and purpose statements.
Allocation units
Node Operator Rewards: 280,000,000 EGMO
Developer Incentives: 250,000,000 EGMO
Ecosystem Growth Fund: 150,000,000 EGMO
Treasury Reserve: 100,000,000 EGMO
Team & Foundation: 100,000,000 EGMO
Airdrops: 50,000,000 EGMO

Vesting & Emissions
Node Operator Rewards: Distributed gradually over 10+ years to ensure sustainability.
Developer Incentives: Released in waves aligned with milestones and adoption.
Team Allocation: Locked with vesting to prevent early sell pressure.
Ecosystem/Treasury: Managed dynamically via governance votes.
The tokenomics design ensures that EGMO supports network growth, developer innovation, and long-term resilience, while keeping incentives balanced across all stakeholders.
