Based released full tokenomics and airdrop details.
Total supply: 1,000,000,000 BASED.
Community allocation: 36% total, split across three categories; S1 + S2 + NFT + partners get 23.5%, Ethena community 7.5% (locked 18 months), and Season 3 receives 5%.
Genesis airdrop: 23.5% of supply designated as a Genesis airdrop with no vesting, available immediately at TGE.
TGE timing: Targeted for March (no exact date yet). A pre‑TGE checker will be released ahead of the event.
Farming / schedule: Season 3 farming ends on May 5.
Anti‑Sybil measures: Project will run checks for wash trading, self‑referrals, and multi‑accounts.
Utilities listed: on‑platform payments, future AI features, governance, launchpool access, and Visa cashback up to 8%.
Market context: The team criticized small supply / large FDV launches. Polymarket currently estimates project FDV at roughly $100M, which implies the airdrop allocation could be worth about $26M at that FDV (simple proportion calculation).
Community notes: Team emphasizes "Community first"; a separate pool is allocated for first‑season participants. A checker and anti‑sybil controls indicate steps to protect the distribution.
