Token Distribution & Emissions

​
Max Supply: 1,000,000,000 HDROME

200,000,000 HDROME is reserved for the presale, at a fixed rate of 25,000 HDROME per HYPE for a 8,000 HYPE raise. See HDROME Presale for full details.
50,000,000 HDROME is reserved for team and contributor alignment. The intended use is vesting, long-term locks, or veHDROME-based alignment rather than immediate circulating sell pressure.
100,000,000 HDROME is reserved for launch liquidity and the bribe budget. Deploying the token and protocol contracts does not add liquidity; liquidity is added only when the launch plan is finalized.
650,000,000 HDROME is reserved for the Minter. These emissions are capped by the 1,000,000,000 HDROME hard cap and distributed over four years through the ve(3,3) system.
The initial mint is 350,000,000 HDROME. It covers the presale allocation, team allocation, and launch liquidity budget. The remaining 650,000,000 HDROME is reserved for capped protocol emissions.

​
Supply & Inflation Curve

HDROME has a fixed 1,000,000,000 token hard cap. The protocol starts from a 350,000,000 HDROME initial mint, then moves toward the cap through weekly emissions. There is no infinite tail inflation: once the 4-year emission curve is complete, the Minter returns zero scheduled emissions.

​
Epoch Cycle

Each epoch runs from Thursday 00:00 UTC to the next Thursday:
1

Epoch Flip

Previous votes are tallied. The Minter calculates the new emission amount based on the 4-year decay formula and the remaining supply under the hard cap.
2

Emission Distribution

The Minter mints HDROME. The Voter contract distributes the gauge portion according to vote weights. The RewardsDistributor sends rebases to veHDROME holders when applicable.
3

Voting Period

veHDROME holders allocate votes across pools. Each veNFT can vote once per epoch.
4

Reward Accrual

Trading fees and bribes accumulate for voters. LP emissions stream continuously to gauge stakers.

​
Protocol Activation

Deploying the contracts does not start emissions by itself. Emissions remain inactive until the Minter is initialized. The deployer can set the first emission epoch before activation, then initialize the Minter only after the presale, liquidity plan, gauges, and launch timing are ready.
