Genesis tokenomics

A total of 80,000,000 Session Tokens will be circulating at TGE

Last updated 29 days ago

Although Session Token has a maximum supply of 240,000,000, a maximum of 80 million Session Tokens are unlocked at TGE.

  • 6 million for Project Treasury (7.5% TGE supply)

  • 14 million for the Ecosystem and Community Fund (17.5% TGE supply)

  • 60 million from (75% TGE supply)


The remaining 160,000,000 are subject to varying lockup conditions. The following lockup conditions may apply:

Lockup A: Staked

Tokens are time-locked using a smart contract for 24 months following TGE. Tokens in this smart contract can be staked for participation in the Session Node Network. Rewards earnt through active staking are, as per usual, immediately accessible.

Lockup B: Linear

Tokens are time-locked using a smart contract for 24 months following TGE. Tokens in this smart contract cannot be staked. 12 months following TGE, a 12 month linear unlock begins at a rate of 8.33% claimable per month.

Lockup C: Unlocked

Tokens are distributed at TGE with no associated lockups or restrictions.

Lockup D: Long term commit

Tokens are time-locked using a smart contract for 3 years following TGE. Tokens in this smart contract cannot be staked. 12 months following TGE, a 24 month linear unlock begins (at a rate of 4.16% claimable per month). When these tokens are allocated to any team member, there are performance and operational requirements which must be met before tokens are received.

Lockup E: Staking Reward Pool

Tokens are locked in a smart contract and released at a rate of 14% per year (recalculated per block). The rate of 14% is calculated relative to the total amount of Session Tokens in the Staking Reward Pool, and new Session Tokens may be added to the pool.

The following table describes which tokens (total 240,000,000) are subject to which lockup condition:
