Ten billion $BONN exist and no more can ever be made. The mint authority is revoked at launch — not promised, revoked, and you can check it.

9 billion, 90%, to the community vault. This is what pays everyone's weekly standing. It isn't a treasury we spend; it's the pot the whole economy draws from.

1 billion, 10%, to the founder. Terms below, in full.

Out of the vault's 9 billion, 250 million goes to the bonding curve and 250 million to the second person on the team — so the vault keeps 8.5 billion, 85% of everything.

What the founder's 10% actually does

Not a billion tokens sitting liquid. Three parts:

200 million staked, vesting over six months. Locked capital earning standing the same way anyone's stake does — and slashed the same way if a jury rules against them.

1 million $BONN a month, liquid — 48 million over four years. The salary. Nothing is drawn from the community vault as a wage; this is instead of one.

752 million frozen for a year, then vesting over three. Nothing moves in year one.

Why these numbers and not others

Why 20% staked, not 30%. A 30% stake settles at 688 standing — about seven times the bar for an audit seat, which reads as standing bought rather than earned. 20% lands at 560. The square root does the work: four times the allocation buys twice the score.

Why a 36-month tail, not 24. A freeze doesn't remove overhang, it concentrates it into a date the market can trade against. Over 24 months the 752 million tail would release 31.3 million a month; over 36 it's 20.9 million.

Why year one is the part that matters. Before month twelve the only liquid tokens are the salaries — 2 million a month across both people, about 0.8% of the launch float. An earlier draft had a flat 24-month liquid vest of the whole billion: 41.7 million a month from day one. This is twenty times less.

The bonding curve — 250 million, 2.5%

This is the only $BONN ever sold. After the curve, none is sold again — not to a fund, not to a treasury, not quietly. It's a hard rule, not an intention.

That has a consequence we'd rather state than have you find: every fee and flow in this system is $BONN, every on-chain cost is SOL, and with no sale permitted the two never meet. The platform has no SOL income at all except what's charged in SOL directly.

So the split is simple. Value flows in $BONN. Footprint costs are charged in SOL.

What the vault does with 8.5 billion

It pays out weekly against everyone's standing. That is its job and very nearly all it does.

Anything else leaving it is a multisig transaction — visible, with a signature you can check. There's no discretionary spend, no marketing budget drawn from it, and no company account behind it.

Today that multisig is one person. We'd rather say so than let you assume otherwise. At 10,000 people holding 100 or more standing, it becomes a DAO — the vault's controls move to an on-chain vote weighted by standing rather than by how much of the token you hold.
