# Token allocation & supply This section defines DBT supply, allocations, and the token release schedule ### Supply Overview * **Total Supply at Genesis (minted at TGE):** 4,890,000,000 DBT * **Max Supply:** 10,000,000,000 DBT Genesis supply represents tokens minted at TGE across non-emission allocations. Max supply includes long-term emissions. The relationship is: $$ S\_{max} = S\_{genesis} + S\_{emissions} $$ Where: * S\_genesis = 4,960,031,642 * S\_max = 10,000,000,000 * S\_emissions = 5,039,968,358 *** ### Token Allocation (Max Supply Basis) All allocations below are expressed as a % of **Max Supply**. | Allocation Bucket | Tokens | % of Max Supply | | --------------------------- | -----------------: | --------------: | | Seed Investors | 845,600,000 | 8.456% | | Private presale (investors) | 295,000,000 | 2.950% | | Foundation / Treasury | 1,339,400,000 | 13.394% | | Team | 1,520,000,000 | 15.200% | | Community Genesis | 960,031,642.15 | 9.600% | | Emission Rewards | 5,039,968,358 | 50.396% | | **Max Supply** | **10,000,000,000** | **100.00%** | ### Circulating Supply at TGE Circulating supply at TGE is defined as the subset of genesis-minted tokens that are unlocked and transferable at TGE. * **Circulating Supply at TGE:** 184,689,382 DBT * **Circulating % at TGE (total):** \~ 1.84% of total supply. ## Release Schedule Summary The release schedule is defined in epochs (monthly). Below is a summary of when each bucket begins releasing and when it completes its release within the modeled horizon. > Note: Emission rewards continue beyond the modeled monthly horizon, with a remaining “thereafter” balance. ### Exchange / Airdrop * ``` | SAFT | 24,583,333 | ``` ``` | -------------------- | ----------- | | Foundation | 100,000,000 | | Airdrop | 16,556,500 | | 15 day Genesis bonus | 38,443,500 | | Genesis | 3,462,214 | | EPOCH | 1,643,835 | ``` * One-time unlock ### Foundation / Treasury Unlocked in tranches: * **100,000,000 DBT** at TGE * **200,000,000 DBT** on 2026-08-31 * **300,000,000 DBT** on 2026-12-31 * **250,000,000 DBT** on 2027-12-31 * **304,400,000 DBT** on 2028-12-31 Total: **1154,400,000 DBT** ### Private Sale * **Starts:** AT TGE - 10% Unlock * **Ends:** 2027-10-01 * Cliff: 6 months * **Structure:** 11 monthly unlocks Monthly unlock: $$ \frac{295{,}000{,}000.01}{12} \approx 24{,}583{,}333.33 \text{ DBT/month} $$ ### Community Genesis * **Starts:** AT TGE, Day 1 unlock of 3,308,600 DBT * **Ends:** 2028-04-30 * **Structure:** staged monthly unlocks totalling 840,030,000 DBT This bucket unlocks in phases: 1. **102,000,000 DBT/month** for 4 months 2. **30,000,000 DBT/month** for 14 months 3. Final month: **12,030,000 DBT** ### Seed Investors * **Starts:** 2028-04-30 * **Ends:** 2030-03-31 * **Structure:** 24 monthly unlocks Monthly unlock: $$ \frac{845{,}599{,}999.92}{24} \approx 35{,}233{,}333.33 \text{ DBT/month} $$ ### Team * **Starts:** 2028-04-30 * **Ends:** 2030-03-31 * **Structure:** 24 monthly unlocks Monthly unlock: $$ \frac{1{,}519{,}999{,}999.92}{24} \approx 63{,}333{,}333.33 \text{ DBT/month} $$ ## Emission Rewards and Long-Term Supply Estimated Validator / Emission Rewards are distributed over time and represent the largest share of total supply. * **Total Emission Allocation:** 5,159,970,000 DBT * Emissions follow a **10% annual decay**. Annual decay model: $$ E\_n = E\_0 \times (0.9)^n $$ Within the modeled horizon, a portion of emissions unlocks monthly, and the remaining balance is represented as a “thereafter” allocation to complete the max supply schedule ### Summary DBT supply is designed such that: * Non-emission allocations are fully scheduled within the modeled horizon * Emissions continue over a longer period with 10% annual decay * Circulating supply at TGE is materially lower than total genesis supply due to vesting
