zeekayandHanzo Dev 094da6a285 docs: canonical LUX tokenomics + Genesis NFT ETH→C-Chain migration record
Single source of truth for LUX tokenomics (2T fixed, deflationary) and the
full Genesis NFT history: original Ethereum lux.town mint (Media/Drop/App,
Zora-fork) -> 1:1 C-Chain re-mint to the same 28 holders -> 68 treasury
validators completing the authorized 100.

- SUPPLY.md: 2T distribution, vesting, void private sale, burn, price/FDV
- NFT-COLLECTION.md: coins/validators/card/pass tiers, bonds, pricing
- ethereum/, cchain/: original + migration-target contracts
- migration/: ETH->today timeline + token-by-token map (generated, verified)
- RECONCILIATION.md: on-chain (~1.99T DAO) vs target (1.00T); every gap + ⚠️
- data/gen_migration_map.py: verifier/generator, fails loudly on any mismatch
  (owner equality all 50, coin tier<->bond, validator serials exactly #1-#100)

LUX Supply & Distribution

Canonical, owner-provided tokenomics for the LUX token. This document is the authoritative statement of the 2T supply, its distribution, vesting, the voided private sale, the burn mechanism, and price / FDV.


1. The headline numbers

Property Value
Total supply 2,000,000,000,000 LUX (2 trillion)
Supply policy Fixed and final — no minting function beyond genesis; no more LUX can ever be created
Decimals 18 (EVM native)
Deflationary mechanism 50% of every transaction fee is burned → supply is monotonically non-increasing
Genesis price $0.0001 / LUX
FDV (owner-stated) $220,000,000 — ⚠️ see Price & FDV

Because supply is fixed and half of all fees are burned, LUX is deflationary by construction: the only supply change possible after genesis is downward, via the fee burn.


2. Distribution — percentage view

The 2,000,000,000,000 LUX is allocated across eight buckets (one of which — the Private Sale — is void):

# Bucket % LUX Lock status Vesting / purpose
1 Lux DAO 50% 1,000,000,000,000 Locked Controlled by the DAO
2 Public Sale 20% 400,000,000,000 Not-Locked Sold via 369 daily auctions
3 Lux Team 5% 100,000,000,000 Locked 366-day cliff, then 10% / month
4 Lux Developers 5% 100,000,000,000 Locked 366-day cliff, then 10% / month
5 Network Treasury 5% 100,000,000,000 Locked Market-making liquidity
6 Network Rewards 5% 100,000,000,000 Locked Customer acquisition
7 Network Partners 5% 100,000,000,000 Locked Partner incentives
8 Private Sale 5% 100,000,000,000 — VOID — never happened
Total 100% 2,000,000,000,000

Arithmetic check: 1,000B + 400B + 6 × 100B = 1,000B + 400B + 600B = 2,000B. ✓


3. Distribution — allocation view

The same 2T, regrouped as it is actually held and issued. The voided Private Sale (100B) is folded into the NFT collection bucket, and the Public Sale (400B) funds the NFT collection as well — together the 500B "Lux NFTs" allocation:

Allocation LUX Derivation
Lux DAO 1,000,000,000,000 50%
Lux NFTs 500,000,000,000 Public Sale 400B + void Private Sale 100B
Lux Team 100,000,000,000 5%
Lux Developers 100,000,000,000 5%
Network Treasury 100,000,000,000 5%
Network Rewards 100,000,000,000 5%
Network Partners 100,000,000,000 5%
Total 2,000,000,000,000

Arithmetic check: 1,000B + 500B + 5 × 100B = 1,000B + 500B + 500B = 2,000B. ✓

The 500B Lux NFTs bucket is broken down tier-by-tier in NFT-COLLECTION.md.


4. The void Private Sale

A private sale was planned (5% / 100,000,000,000 LUX) but never happened. No private-sale tokens were ever sold to anyone.

Documented treatment:

  • The 100B is not distributed to any private investor — there are none.
  • It is retained by the DAO / unallocated, pending an explicit owner reallocation decision.
  • In the allocation view it is folded into the 500B Lux NFTs bucket (so 400B Public Sale + 100B void = 500B), which keeps the collection's design math whole without inventing a private-investor cap table.
  • ⚠️ Owner decision pending: whether the 100B ultimately (a) stays with the DAO, (b) enlarges the public NFT allocation, or (c) is redirected to another program. Until decided, treat it as DAO-retained. See RECONCILIATION.md.

There is no private-sale contract, no vesting schedule, and no allocation recipient to document, because the event did not occur.


5. Vesting & lock mechanics

Bucket Lock Cliff Post-cliff release
Lux DAO Locked — Governed by the DAO
Public Sale Not-Locked — Liquid on auction settlement
Lux Team Locked 366 days 10% per month thereafter (→ fully vested ~month 10 after cliff)
Lux Developers Locked 366 days 10% per month thereafter
Network Treasury Locked — Released as market-making liquidity is deployed
Network Rewards Locked — Released for customer-acquisition programs
Network Partners Locked — Released per partner-incentive agreements

"Locked" buckets are carved out of the DAO holdings notionally; the physical on-chain move of these balances out of the treasury wallet is a pending reconciliation step — see RECONCILIATION.md. The 366-day cliff (a full year + 1 day) applies to Team and Developers.


6. Burn — the deflation engine

  • 50% of every transaction fee is burned. The other 50% flows to the network (validators / treasury per protocol policy).
  • Because total supply is fixed at genesis and the burn only removes LUX, the effective supply curve is flat-then-declining — LUX can never inflate.
  • ⚠️ TO CONFIRM — burn rate parameter. The tokenomics sheet lists a burn-rate figure that is cut off at "1.1" (e.g. 1.1% or 1.1× of some base). The 50%-of-fees burn is the confirmed mechanism; the additional "1.1" parameter needs the full sheet value to document precisely.

7. Staking & liquidity rewards

Owner-provided reward schedule (per annum), from the tokenomics sheet:

Liquidity-provider (LP) rewards, p.a.:

Lock term APR
1 month 5%
3 months 20%
6 months 50%
12 months 111%

Single-sided staking, p.a.:

Lock term APR
1 month 1%
3 months 4%
6 months 10%
12 months 25%

Longer lock terms earn strictly higher APR in both programs. LP rewards are far richer than single-sided staking (reflecting impermanent-loss compensation and the priority on bootstrapping liquidity).


Price & FDV

Genesis price $0.0001 / LUX
Total supply 2,000,000,000,000 LUX
Implied FDV price × supply $0.0001 × 2,000,000,000,000 = $200,000,000
Owner-stated FDV $220,000,000

⚠️ TO CONFIRM — price ↔ FDV discrepancy. The genesis price of $0.0001 multiplied by the 2T supply yields $200M, but the owner states FDV $220M — a 10% delta ($20M). Either (a) the effective genesis price is ~$0.00011, or (b) the $220M FDV is measured on a different basis (e.g. a premium round, or a different supply denominator). Both figures are recorded verbatim; the owner should confirm which is canonical.

At the genesis price, tier valuations follow directly (e.g. a Genesis Validator's 1,000,000,000 LUX bond ≈ $100,000 at $0.0001, or the "$1M list" figure at a ~$0.001 reference price used in some card-tier pricing — see NFT-COLLECTION.md for the per-tier price context and its own ⚠️ flags).


Provenance

  • The 2T supply, bucket percentages, vesting, burn, price and FDV are owner-provided canonical tokenomics (captured for this repo).
  • Reward APRs are transcribed from the tokenomics sheet.
  • On-chain figures (the ~1.99T currently in the DAO wallet, NFT bonds) are in RECONCILIATION.md and data/.
