Genius (GENIUS)

Tokenomics & Utility

Supply and distribution

GENIUS has a stated maximum supply of one billion tokens. The project’s published allocation divides that supply among four groups: 21% for community airdrops, 27.44% for the foundation, 34.21% for strategic investors, and 17.35% for the team. The community share is organized into three reward seasons of 7% each. Foundation tokens are intended to support ecosystem development and other long-term project needs. (tradegenius.com)

The distribution design includes time-based conditions. The foundation described minimum one-year lockups for team and investor allocations. For an airdrop allocation, the project offered a choice between claiming a reduced amount early and waiting through a one-year lock to receive the full allocation. Under that arrangement, tokens forfeited through an early claim are burned, meaning they are removed from circulation. (globenewswire.com)

What the token does

Genius describes GENIUS as a way to reduce trading fees on the terminal. Its published rewards page sets out a planned system in which locking different amounts of tokens for set periods unlocks different discount levels. Trading activity also affects the platform’s fee tiers, giving frequent users another route to lower fees. These features connect the token’s usefulness to how people use the trading product.

GENIUS does not need to be on every blockchain supported by the terminal. The token is issued on BNB Smart Chain, while the software can route trades involving assets on other networks. That distinction helps explain the project’s design: one token supports the ecosystem, and the terminal connects a wider range of markets. (xtsupport.zendesk.com)
