Token Distribution Wallets

Total Supply

1,000,000,000 GX — Fixed at genesis. No minting function exists. Supply can only decrease through burning.

Token Allocation

Fair Launch via Spot Pair

GX does not use a traditional presale (no seed, private, or public rounds). Instead, 160M GX (16% of supply) is listed as a GX/USDC spot pair directly on GX Exchange at a starting price of $0.08.

How it works:

• GIP-2 auto-liquidity seeds the order book with 500 price levels at 0.3% increments
• Anyone can buy — no whitelist, no KYC, no rounds
• Price discovers naturally as supply gets bought up
• USDC revenue goes to treasury for marketing and operations
• Target raise: ~$12.8M if fully sold ($0.08 × 160M GX)

This model is fairer and more transparent than traditional presale rounds. Every participant gets equal access at the same market price, and there are no insider discounts or allocation advantages.

Genesis Airdrop Breakdown

All airdrop tokens are distributed 100% at TGE — no vesting, no lockup.

GIP-2 Auto-Liquidity Pricing Curve

The GIP-2 mechanism seeds the GX/USDC order book to ensure smooth price discovery during the fair launch:

• Starting price: $0.08 per GX
• Price levels: 500 levels on the sell side
• Increment: 0.3% between each level
• Top price level: ~$0.36 per GX (at the 500th level)
• Tokens allocated: 100,000 GX (0.01% of supply)

As buyers purchase GX, the lowest ask levels are consumed and the effective price moves up naturally. This creates an organic price discovery mechanism without requiring a traditional AMM or liquidity pool.

Vesting Schedule

The Marketing & Growth Fund (18.80%, 188M GX) is a separate allocation used for: KOL campaigns, CEX listing fees, trading competitions, partnerships, community events, and PR. This fund is not subject to vesting or cliff restrictions.

Foundation Reserve — Emergency Multi-Sig

The Foundation Reserve (6%, 60M GX) is held in a 3-of-5 multi-signature wallet with a 48-hour timelock on all transactions.

Signers: The founder, legal counsel, a technical advisor, a community representative, and a financial advisor. No single entity controls 3 or more keys.

Allowed uses:

• Critical security patches and emergency audits
• Legal defense
• Insurance fund top-up after black swan events
• Protocol rescue operations

NOT allowed: Marketing, salary, operations, CEX listings, trading competitions, or token buybacks. These have their own dedicated funding sources.

All multi-sig transactions are visible on-chain. Monthly balance reports are published. Any fund movement includes a public explanation of the emergency that triggered it.

Fair Launch USDC Budget

All USDC revenue from the fair launch token sale flows to the Operations Treasury. This funds the first 12-18 months of operations until protocol trading fees become self-sustaining.

Fee Distribution — Hybrid Model

GX is the only DEX offering real USDC yield to stakers AND deflationary token burns. Trading fees generated on GX Chain are distributed as follows:

40% of fees go to stakers in USDC. 20% buy GX and burn it forever.

Revenue Projections

Burn Impact

At $1B daily volume, the buy & burn mechanism removes approximately $32.9M worth of GX from circulation per year. Assuming a fully diluted valuation of $500M, this equates to roughly 6.6% of total supply burned per year, creating sustained deflationary pressure that compounds over time. As supply decreases, each subsequent burn removes a larger percentage of the remaining supply.

Staking Tiers

GX has two complementary tier systems that reward holders at different levels.

Display Tiers (Staking Page)

These tiers determine yield weight multipliers and fee discounts for large stakers:

Trading Fee Discount Tiers

These tiers apply trading fee discounts based on GX held, starting at much lower thresholds:

Both tier systems are active simultaneously. Trading fee discount tiers benefit even small holders, while staking page tiers reward larger stakers with yield weight multipliers.

Staking Mechanics

GX staking is a fee-sharing mechanism — not validator staking. Validators operate independently.

Deflationary Mechanism

GX implements two complementary burn mechanisms:

1. Protocol Buy & Burn (Automatic) 20% of all trading fees are used to buy GX on the open market and burn it permanently. This creates automatic, volume-driven deflation. At $1B daily volume, approximately 6.6% of total supply is burned per year.

2. Holder Burns (Manual) GX implements ERC20Burnable, allowing any holder to permanently burn tokens:

• burn(amount) — burn your own tokens
• burnFrom(account, amount) — burn tokens from an approved address

All burns are irreversible and reduce total supply permanently. Burn events are emitted as Transfer events to the zero address.
