Tokenomics Deep Dive: Understanding MNE’s Supply Dynamics

Tokenomics documents tend to be dense, technical, and (let’s be honest) designed to be glanced at rather than read. Here’s MNE’s supply dynamics made accessible.

The 4% launch

280M MNE (4.0%) at TGE. Liquidity pools: 140M. Market makers: 84M. Foundation reserves: 21M. Community: 35M. Zero insider liquidity. Team and investor tokens are fully locked.

Immutable vs. adjustable

47% of supply follows immutable vesting in non-upgradeable contracts. No one can change these. The remaining 53% is adjustable, with the DAO controlling deployment within annual emission ceilings. Predictability where stakeholders need certainty. Flexibility where the protocol needs adaptability.

The unlock timeline

Month 6: ~609M (8.7%), Series A cliff ends. Month 9: ~821M (11.7%), Seed cliff ends. Month 12: ~1.03B (14.8%), Protocol Operations vesting begins. Month 48: ~4.23B (60.4%), Protocol Operations complete. Month 60+: ~4.95B (70.7%), stabilized.

Market operations controls

14% of supply designated for Foundation Market Operations. Controls include: 20% max per counterparty, collateral requirements, recall rights, performance metrics, quarterly reporting.

Conservative launch. Immutable vesting. DAO-governed flexibility. Full transparency.
