Aborean Tokenomics
What is ABX?
ABX is the governance and utility token of the Aborean protocol. It powers liquidity incentives, governance, and long-term alignment across the Abstract ecosystem.
What is veABX?
When ABX is locked in the vote-escrow contract, it becomes veABX (vote-escrowed ABX).
veABX holders control governance, direct weekly emissions to liquidity pools, and earn fees and bribes.
The longer ABX is locked, the more veABX is received, strengthening long-term alignment.
At launch, the majority of supply is distributed as auto-max-locked veABX, ensuring governance power begins in the hands of committed ecosystem participants.
Inital Distribution of Supply
Total Supply: 500,000,000 ABX
This section covers the initial distribution of supply at launch.
1. Airdrop — 40% (200,000,000 ABX)
Distributed to early Abstract users and aligned communities. Auto-max-locked as veABX to give recipients governance rights and emissions power from genesis. Establishes broad community ownership from the start.
2. Seed Liquidity — 5% (25,000,000 ABX)
Used to create deep initial trading markets in ABX/ETH and ABX/USDC. Ensures stability and accessibility for early participants.
3. Voting Incentives — 5% (25,000,000 ABX)
Held as liquid ABX to fund early bribes and gauge incentives. Encourages veABX holders to direct emissions toward strategic pools. Provides the spark for the protocol’s liquidity flywheel.
4. Public Goods Fund — 20% (100,000,000 ABX)
Auto-max-locked as veABX. Votes permanently allocated to ecosystem pairs (e.g. WETH/USDC, ABX/USDC, staked ETH/ETH). Fees generated from these pools are recycled into the Public Goods Fund treasury. Treasury funds support Abstract ecosystem infrastructure, tooling, and builders.
5. Aborean Foundation — 20% (100,000,000 ABX)
Auto-max-locked as veABX. 25% of Foundation voting power is permanently directed to ecosystem pairs, guaranteeing deep liquidity for core assets. Remaining 75% is deployed flexibly to bootstrap partner liquidity, match bribes, and strategically grow Abstract’s economy. Serves as the protocol’s steward in early phases, with influence progressively decentralizing to veABX governance.
6. Ascendance Program — 10% (50,000,000 ABX)
Auto-max-locked as veABX. Long-term alignment program. Rewards committed users who lock, participate, and contribute over multiple epochs. Functions as Aborean’s loyalty engine, cultivating a sustainable governance base.
