The XPL tokenomics framework outlines a comprehensive economic strategy for the Plasma network, managing a total supply of 10,000,000,000 tokens. The largest allocation of 40% (4 billion XPL) is dedicated to Ecosystem and Growth, aimed at expanding utility and institutional adoption. The Team and Investors both hold 25% (2.5 billion XPL each), ensuring long-term project support from high-caliber backers like Founder's Fund and Bitfinex. The final 10% (1 billion XPL) was allocated to the Public Sale participants.
Unlock schedules are carefully staggered to prevent sudden market pressure and ensure long-term alignment. While non-US Public Sale participants receive immediate access at launch, US purchasers are subject to a 12-month lockup until July 28, 2026. The Ecosystem fund releases 8% immediately for DeFi incentives and liquidity, with the remaining 32% vesting monthly over a three-year period. Team and Investor tokens are even more restricted, featuring a one-year cliff followed by a two-year monthly vesting period, totaling a three-year release cycle. This structured approach is designed to attract top-tier talent and provide service providers with sustainable long-term incentives.$XPL
