Fixed cap. On-chain category limits. Fees on protocol work.
Initial supply 100B. Future mintable supply 20B, released only through per-category lifetime and annual caps enforced in the token contract. Hard cap 120B. No mint can exceed a category's allocation, and future-supply mints require an on-chain reservation first.
| Category | Amount | Share | Release |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ecosystem & Community | 35B | 35% | Demand-driven via treasury epoch caps (2% of pool per epoch); includes a 1.75B usage-rewards reserve earmark |
| Enterprise & Integration | 20B | 20% | Demand-driven via treasury pools (global, regional, bridge programs) |
| Team & Development | 15B | 15% | Core team 9B: 48-month vesting, 12-month cliff, 0% at TGE. Marketing 3.5B and Operations 2.5B: vested, caps enforced on-chain |
| Staking Rewards Pool | 10B | 10% | Seven-year terminal emission schedule; the pool is exhausted at year seven |
| DEX Liquidity | 8B | 8% | 40% (3.2B) deployable to DEX at TGE; 60% (4.8B) held as governance reserve |
| Seed & Private Investors | 6B | 6% | 24-month vesting, 6-month cliff, 0% at TGE |
| Cross-Chain & Bridge | 4B | 4% | 12-month vesting, 3-month cliff, released per chain activation |
| Strategic Reserve | 2B | 2% | 24-month vesting, 6-month cliff, governance-controlled |
Launch is DEX-only, with no public sale. Every category cap is a constant in the contracts, and the vesting contract's caps sum exactly to the balance it is funded with at token generation.
| Category | Lifetime cap |
|---|---|
| APAC regional mining | 2.5B |
| Europe regional mining | 2.0B |
| Americas regional mining | 2.0B |
| MEA regional mining | 1.5B |
| Program integration | 6.0B |
| Staking supplement | 4.0B |
| Future strategic reserve | 2.0B |
Each category also carries an annual cap. A future-supply mint requires an on-chain reservation checked against both caps before it can be executed.
RWLY carries no fee on ordinary transfers at launch. Governance may introduce one later within a hard 5% ceiling written into the constants. Protocol fees apply to protocol work:
Collected fees are split across six on-chain buckets: liquidity 30%, treasury reserve 28%, staking rewards 20%, regional development 10%, protocol maintenance 10%, impact pool 2% — governance-tunable within bounds.
Any holder can burn. Treasury buyback-and-burn is a governed, role-gated path. Burnt supply is tracked on-chain and never re-mintable.
Escrow health is always computed against a price. The price resolves in three tiers — live dual-source oracle, cached last-known price, governance-set floor — so obligations are counted in full during an oracle outage.
Staked RWLY can be locked for 1, 3, 6, 12 or 24 months. Locking produces vote-escrowed weight (veRWLY) for governance and protocol multipliers, capped in the constants, and reduces the staker's protocol fees; a concentration cap limits any single staker's share. Rewards come from the staking share of protocol fees, the fixed terminal staking pool and redistributed early-exit penalties; emission is demand-driven and stops when fee revenue meets the governance-set target. Long-held balances earn fee discounts at tenure thresholds set in the constants. Coalition operators post a slashable bond to run a coalition.
RWLY is pre-issuance. Token generation follows the external review described on the Trust page.
Token generation excludes US persons. The protocol's conversion paths activate in a jurisdiction only when its framework for digital settlement is ready.
