Magic Eden has introduced the ME tokenomics
Total supply: 1 billion ME
Initial ME Claim at TGE: 12.5%
- This claim will reward users across Bitcoin, Solana, and EVM ecosystems who will be an integral part of ME DAO.
- This allocation will be fully unlocked at TGE and distributed to users via Magic Eden’s mobile dApp.
- Any amounts that are left unclaimed will go back to ME stakers as future rewards as part of the Community allocation.
Community & Ecosystem: 37.7%
- The majority (22.5%) has been reserved to reward active users of ME protocols, to be released primarily via Magic Eden’s rewards program.
- The remaining (15.2%) of this allocation will go towards ecosystem development, including passionate advocates and creators who want to grow and support the protocols. These grants will be structured as long-term agreements to align long term stakeholders in the ecosystem.
- Also, 5% of ecosystem development is allocated to the ME Foundation Treasury for protocol support, including amounts for liquidity provision.
Contributors: 26.2%
- This allocation includes contractors and advisors supporting the protocols and Magic Eden employees. To signal long term commitment, core contributors representing >60% of the Contributor token bucket will lock their tokens for a minimum of 18 months post-TGE.
Strategic Participants: 23.6%
- All strategic participants who have provided critical guidance in the development of the ME Foundation protocols will have a minimum lockup period of 12 months post-TGE and follow the Token Emissions Schedule for gradual unlocking.
ME will be distributed over 4 years, at which point all ME will be fully circulating with the majority allocated to the community.
