# Tokenomics
## π NEXU Tokenomics
**Max Supply:** `1,111,111,111 NEXU` (1.1B)\
**Starting Supply (Genesis):** `250,000,000 NEXU`
***
### πΉ Allocation (% of Max Supply)
1. **Team** β **25%** = `277.8M NEXU`
* Linear vesting over 10 years (\~25M circulating now).
2. **Ecosystem / Treasury / Future OTC Investors** β **13.5%** = `150M NEXU`
* Covers treasury reserves, liquidity programs, grants, marketing, and future OTC investors.
* Treasury wallet currently holds \~170M from the genesis supply to fulfill these obligations and pending distributions.
3. **Nexus Celestial NFTs** β **2.25%** = `25M NEXU`
* \~75% already distributed (\~18.75M).
4. **Investor Group** β **2.7%** = `30M NEXU`
* \~75% already distributed (\~22.5M).
5. **XDC Airdrop** β **0.9%** = `10M NEXU`
* Fully distributed to \~60k addresses.
6. **XRPL EVM Liquidity & Expansion** β **50%** = `555.6M NEXU`
* To be minted and bridged from XDC β XRPL EVM for liquidity, multi-farming, staking, treasury reserve and other future yield mechanims.
* NEXU will become an **Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT)**, likely via LayerZero.
7. **Multi-farm Incentives & Staking Rewards** β **5.65%** = `62.7M NEXU`
* Dedicated to farming rewards, staking incentives, and future protocol feature updates.
***
### πΉ Supply Status
* **Current Circulating (2025):** \~`76M NEXU` (\~6.8% of max supply).
* **Genesis Allocations (250M):**
* \~80M already distributed (Team, NFTs, Investors, Airdrop).
* \~170M held in treasury wallet for pending distributions and ecosystem/OTC allocations.
* **Remaining Max Supply (to be minted):**
* 555.6M for XRPL EVM expansion.
* All remaining unminted NEXU will be distributed through farms, staking, and other yield protocol updates.
***
### πΉ Emissions & Timeline
* **Block Rewards:** `0.33 NEXU/block` β 14,256/day (\~5.2M/year).
* **Projected Circulating by end of 2026:** \~111`M+ NEXU`.
* **Genesis allocations (Team, Investors, NFTs)** expected to be **fully distributed by end of 2026**.
## πNEXU Minting Rate
**Starting at 0.33 NEXU Per Block on XDC (2 second block time) that gradually and exponentially decreases by 0.555% approximately every 200,000 blocks (5-10 days). Making token minting deflationary over time similar to the Bitcoin Halving mechanism. (Minting Rates may be modified in the future.)**
**The NexusGenerator is the main Contract that has the ability to mint $NEXU as rewards for LP Stakers and Multi-Stakers. There is no other way $NEXU can be minted (NEXU may be minted by other smart contracts in future updated versions of the Nexus). An Ownership Slot of the $NEXU Token contract is given to the NexusGenerator Contract. Maximum of 1.1B to ever exist, programmed into the contract.**\
\
**π₯The fees from some trading pairs (like WXDC/NEXU) are used to buy and burn NEXU daily making the supply long term deflationary.**
{% hint style="info" %}
Some NEXU may be minted by other smart contracts in the future, such as Governance/DAO smart contracts, or future versions of Nexus.
