LODE Token

ChainEthereum
There is no pre-minted supply. All LODE enters circulation through user minting, except:
  • 100 billion LODE minted as initial Uniswap V3 liquidity (paired with 17 WETH)
  • 1 billion LODE reserved for cross-chain PRELODE burn claims

​
Inflationary Forces

  • User minting creates new LODE (time-locked, requires ETH payment)
  • Genesis wallet receives 8% of every mint claim
  • Proof-of-Burn 2.0 rebates: up to 8% minted to users/builders during project burns

​
Deflationary Forces

  • Buy-and-burn: 62% of protocol fees buy LODE on Uniswap V3 and burn it permanently
  • User burns: direct burns via liquid LODE, stakes, or mints
  • Project burns: third-party Proof-of-Burn 2.0 integrations
  • Penalties: late mint claims and early stake endings reduce minted tokens
