IO Coin Allocation

Initial $IO Allocation

io.net has an initial supply of 500,000,000 $IO at genesis, split across five categories: Seed Investors, Series A Investors, Core Contributors, R&D and Ecosystem and Community.

This supply increases to 800,000,000 IO over 20 years as $IO is emitted to incentivize network growth and adoption.

Unlocks and Rewards

The initial 500 million supply is subject to the schedules detailed in the sections below. In addition, the circulating supply increases as rewards are issued. Rewards are unlocked upon receipt and are added to the circulating supply.

Circulating Supply is defined as the amount of $IO in general circulation without on-chain transfer restrictions.

Locked Supply is defined as the amount of $IO that is unvested and uncirculated.

Available Supply is defined as the amount of $IO Coins that are either part of the circulating supply or have been issued but remain locked. Rewards that haven't been issued are not included in the available supply.

Max Supply is the maximum amount of $IO Coins that will exist after all tokens have been emitted.

Pro Forma Allocation

As the IOG Network emits Rewards, the share of early backers and Core Contributors will continue to decrease. As such, the Community’s share will grow to ~50% after the distribution of all rewards.
