# Tokenomics

### **$BLUAI Tokenomics Explained**

**Ticker:** BLUAI | **Max Supply:** 10,000,000,000 tokens

Bluwhale’s tokenomics are designed to incentivize decentralization, fund long-term development, and ensure sustainable liquidity — all while protecting the token’s scarcity.

***

#### **1. Supply Overview**

* **Total Supply at Genesis:** **1,228,000,000 BLUAI** (12.28% of max supply)
* **Max Supply (8 Years):** 10,000,000,000 BLUAI
* **Monetary Policy:** Fixed supply — no minting beyond the cap.

This fixed-supply model makes BLUAI inherently deflationary relative to demand. As adoption grows, scarcity can support long-term value appreciation.

\
The two largest allocations are **Nodes (25%)** for network security and **Foundation (21%)** for governance, grants, and long-term development.

#### **3. Vesting & Release Schedule**

Tokens are unlocked gradually to protect price stability:

* **Genesis Circulating Supply:** 12.28% of total
* **Key Unlocks:**
  * **T+3M:** Marketing and ecosystem push
  * **T+6M, T+9M, T+12M:** Additional liquidity and growth releases
* **From T+13M onwards:** Steady 1.2–1.6% monthly emissions

**Educational Takeaway:**\
This staggered release model prevents “pump-and-dump” volatility and aligns incentives for long-term holders.

#### **4. Price & Valuation Milestones**

| Round     | Price ($) | Amount Raised ($) | Valuation ($) |
| --------- | --------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| Pre-Seed  | 0.0020    | 855,000           | 20,000,000    |
| Seed      | 0.0045    | 4,119,750         | 45,000,000    |
| Private A | 0.0100    | 6,570,000         | 100,000,000   |
| KOL Round | 0.0060    | 600,000           | 60,000,000    |

**Educational Takeaway:**\
Early rounds are priced at a discount to reward high-risk early participation, with later rounds closer to projected market value.
