## Visual breakdown

### Allocation (1B total)

```mermaid theme={null}
pie showData
    title BINI Allocation
    "Rewards" : 600
    "Team & Founders" : 150
    "Marketing" : 100
    "Ecosystem Reserve" : 100
    "DEX Liquidity" : 50
```

### Rewards emission (600M over 4 years)

```mermaid theme={null}
pie showData
    title Rewards Emission by Year (millions)
    "Year 1" : 210
    "Year 2" : 180
    "Year 3" : 120
    "Year 4" : 90
```

## Pool-by-pool details

### Rewards (60% / 600M)

The largest pool, dedicated to user-facing incentives:

* Bini App claims (mining, daily calendar, lessons)
* Bridge B redemptions (off-chain BINI → native)
* Agent Hive Worker incentives
* Lottery jackpots
* DEX LP incentives

Released monthly per the [emission schedule](/bini-token/emission). After Year 4, the Rewards pool is fully drained — no more new BINI from this pool.

### Team & Founders (15% / 150M)

```
Cliff:   12 months from TGE  (zero unlocked)
Vesting: 36 months linear    (4.17M BINI/month)
End:     Month 48
```

Designed for long-term alignment. The team has zero ability to dump for the first year and a smooth release profile thereafter.

### Marketing (10% / 100M)

```
TGE:        5% unlocked at TGE  (5,000,000 BINI)
Milestones: 95M unlocks tied to listings, partnerships, growth KPIs
```

Marketing unlocks are **milestone-driven, not time-driven**. Each significant milestone (new exchange listing, key partnership, growth target) triggers a defined chunk of BINI to unlock.

This keeps marketing budget tied to outcomes rather than calendar days, but does mean marketing emission is less predictable than time-vested pools.

### Ecosystem Reserve (10% / 100M)

```
Cliff:   6 months from TGE
Vesting: 48 months linear
End:     Month 54
```

A flexible pool for future grants, bounties, partnerships, and unforeseen ecosystem needs (e.g., supplementing DEX liquidity, funding audits, sponsoring builders). Allocated case-by-case by the team with on-chain transparency.

### DEX Liquidity (5% / 50M)

```
TGE: 100% unlocked
```

Used as the **wBINI side of initial BaiDEX pools** — primarily the wBINI/USBI anchor pool. Available immediately at TGE so the DEX has working liquidity from day one.

The 50M cap × $0.12 reference price = **$6,000,000 wBINI side value\*\*, which combined with the matched USBI side creates a \$12M pool TVL ceiling. See [wBINI Cap Rule](/tokenomics/wbini-cap).

## Total cumulative supply over time

|   Month |                                            Cumulative unlocked |               |
| ------: | -------------------------------------------------------------: | ------------- |
| 0 (TGE) |                 DEX 50M + Marketing 5M + first Rewards = \~73M |               |
|       6 |    + 6 mo Rewards + Ecosystem cliff ends, Marketing milestones | varies        |
|      12 |        + 12 mo Rewards + Team cliff ends, Marketing milestones | varies        |
|      48 | All time-vested pools fully unlocked, Year 4 emission complete | varies (high) |
|      54 |                               Ecosystem Reserve fully unlocked | varies (high) |

Total max cumulative supply caps at 1,000,000,000 BINI by month 54 (assuming all Marketing milestones are met).

## Anti-dump considerations

* **Team has 1 year cliff**: zero team-side selling for 12 months
* **Ecosystem has 6 month cliff**: no flood of grant-related selling early
* **Rewards taper**: Year 1 is the highest emission; Year 4 is half. Sell pressure decreases over time
* **Marketing tied to milestones**: cannot front-load if no milestones hit
