This blog article will present the DUA allocation pools, vesting schedules, timing, token releases and how the supply will change over time.

Introduction

At Brillion, our goal is to ensure everyone can easily send, receive, and manage their funds. That’s why we created the Brillion Smart Wallet. With the Brillion Smart Wallet we aim to simplify money management and movement and are making financial tasks as straightforward and accessible as possible.

The Brillion Foundation and Smart Wallet are powered by the $DUA token, an ERC-20 utility token that plays a central role in all Brillion stakeholder activity:

$DUA Token Utility

This article aims to give you all insights into the tokenomics underneath DUA. We go in-depth into the allocations & vesting schedules to give you all you need to know about the token in one convenient place. Let’s dive in!

Token Allocation & Vesting

The total supply of 1B DUA is distributed to the following allocations.

Vesting contracts can be found under this link.

Ecosystem & Treasury: 300,000,000 DUA (30%)

Ecosystem & Treasury will be at the community’s and foundation’s disposal to decide how they will be used to advance our protocol and community. The uses of the proceeds fall within these categories but are not limited to:

  • Staking on different networks and via Brillion Smart Wallet
  • In-App earning campaigns
  • Referrals/Invite Friends/Airdrop
  • Community Grants
  • Cashbacks on transactions
  • External parties that we will implement partnership goals with
  • External outsourcing events, e.g., running our suite on L2 chains.
  • Fund gas fees for running and updating the Oracles and our contract set

The Governance & LP pool subsidize holders who lock their tokens in the governance pool, and those who pool provide liquidity for the selected DEX pools. The foundation will deploy a reward-yielding smart contract, which will allow for the staking of LP tokens to receive rewards from the pool.

The other smart contract that the foundation will deploy is governance staking. It will allow the locking of DUA tokens in the governance pool. The smart contract will accept DUA tokens from holders with specific terms and provide them with a governance-staked token that can be used to participate in governance and claim rewards later on.
