Distribution
The initial 1,000,000,000 NOTA supply is distributed across stakeholders, ecosystem development, and long-term treasury. The distribution reflects Notareum’s priorities: user adoption, validator participation, and sustainable protocol growth.Initial distribution
Vesting schedules
- Team: 4-year linear vest with a 1-year cliff. No tokens unlock in year one. Tokens vest monthly thereafter.
- Investors: 3-year linear vest with a 6-month cliff. Monthly unlocks after cliff.
- Community/Users, Validator Rewards, Ecosystem Grants: distributed over time based on protocol activity and governance approval. No static vest schedule; distribution reacts to real usage.
Retroactive public goods funding
Following the proven model pioneered by Optimism’s RetroPGF, Notareum reserves 6% of the Ecosystem Grants allocation for retroactive funding of public goods. Contributors who build open-source tooling, research, or documentation that benefits the Notareum ecosystem are eligible for funding awarded by governance vote after their work has demonstrated value.Long-term supply
Post-launch, supply changes follow the tokenomics design:- Inflationary pressure: KPI-driven minting, validator rewards, ecosystem grants.
- Deflationary pressure: fee burns, slashing burns, failed dispute burns, alias burns.
