# BINI Emission & Vesting

> 1B fixed supply. 60% rewards over 4 years, then zero new emission.

BINI is a **fixed-supply** native token. **No mint after genesis.** All 1,000,000,000 BINI exist from day one and are released according to the schedule below.

## Allocation

| Pool                  |          BINI |    % | Unlock                           |
| --------------------- | ------------: | ---: | -------------------------------- |
| **Rewards**           |   600,000,000 |  60% | 4-year monthly emission          |
| **Team & Founders**   |   150,000,000 |  15% | 1 year cliff + 3 years linear    |
| **Marketing**         |   100,000,000 |  10% | 5% TGE + milestone-based         |
| **Ecosystem Reserve** |   100,000,000 |  10% | 6 month cliff + 48 months linear |
| **DEX Liquidity**     |    50,000,000 |   5% | 100% TGE                         |
| **Total**             | 1,000,000,000 | 100% |                                  |

## Rewards emission schedule

The 600M Rewards pool releases over 4 years, decaying. After year 4, **no more emission**.

| Year | Monthly emission |      Annual |  Cumulative |
| ---- | ---------------: | ----------: | ----------: |
| 1    |       17,500,000 | 210,000,000 |        210M |
| 2    |       15,000,000 | 180,000,000 |        390M |
| 3    |       10,000,000 | 120,000,000 |        510M |
| 4    |        7,500,000 |  90,000,000 |        600M |
| 5+   |                0 |           0 | 600M (done) |

Total Year 1 emission ≈ 21% of total supply. Year 4 is half of Year 1 — the curve is front-loaded to reward early adopters but tapers down to keep year-over-year inflation manageable.

## Where Rewards pool goes

The 600M Rewards pool feeds:

* **Bini App** — claims, lessons, daily calendar, referrals
* **Bridge B** — off-chain BINI rewards becoming on-chain
* **Agent Hive** — Worker incentives, action-log gas reimbursement
* **Lottery** — jackpots
* **DEX LP incentives** — wBINI side seeding new pools

The exact split between these is a per-month policy decision logged on-chain.

## Vesting curves

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

```
Cliff:    12 months from TGE (no unlock)
Vesting:  36 months linear after cliff
End:      Month 48
```

Designed to align team with long-term ecosystem health, not short-term price.

### Marketing (10% / 100M)

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

Marketing unlocks are **milestone-driven**, not time-driven. The team controls the trigger but each unlock is announced in advance.

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

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

Funds future grants, bounties, partnerships, and unforeseen ecosystem needs.

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

```
TGE: 100% unlocked
```

Used as the wBINI side of initial BaiDEX pools. The 50M cap × $0.12 reference price = $6M ceiling on wBINI-side pool TVL — see [wBINI Cap Rule](/tokenomics/wbini-cap).

## What this means in practice

* **No surprise dilution.** All future emission is on the schedule above.
* **Long team alignment.** Team has 1 year cliff before any unlock.
* **Marketing can scale with traction.** Milestone-based marketing keeps unlocks tied to outcomes.
* **Hard ceiling.** After year 4, total circulating supply is capped at 1B.

## Year-over-year inflation

| Year |                        Year-start supply |                             Year-end supply | Inflation |
| ---- | ---------------------------------------: | ------------------------------------------: | --------: |
| 1    | varies (depends on Marketing milestones) | + 210M Rewards + Team/Eco/Marketing unlocks |      High |
| 2    |                           + 180M Rewards |                                             |  Moderate |
| 3    |                           + 120M Rewards |                                             |       Low |
| 4    |                            + 90M Rewards |                       All emission complete |       Low |
| 5+   |                              No new BINI |                                             |        0% |

Year-1 inflation is the most aggressive — Year-1 holders take the brunt. After Year-4 the ecosystem is fully diluted and BINI is a true fixed-supply asset.
