And we have significantly increased the Community incentives along with some other!
Now, let’s explore the updates👇
Firstly lets do a quick refersh on the demand drivers, rewards and utility of $PTB!
Our incentives, rewards and emissions for LPs, Validators and Litenodes remain the same.
Demand Drivers
Portal’s model balances emissions with built-in demand:
- Validator bidding wars keep $PTB in active use monthly
- Buyback & Burn: 100% of swap fees are used to purchase $PTB on the open market and burn it.
- $PTB used as gas on the Portal Notary Chain
The goal: burn more than we emit as network usage grows.

Now lets cover the updates!
Airdrop is now part of the Community tranche and will be done at original vesting with 33% of the airdrop at TGE.
This does not mean the entire community tranche will be an airdrop.
But we can say the final airdrop amount will be a pleasant surprise!

The idea of increasing this will allow us to provide a number of incentives for the community to fuel our growth post launch.
Trading competitions like you have never seen before! Refferal programs, rewards for high volume users and a community LP program are ideas we are exploring for our post launch phase!

These tokens as well as the Ecosystem Development tranche are technically unlocked but will only be sold as top tier opportunites present themselves that can help us to accelerate the growth of Portal and $PTB
They are to be distibuted over a 10 year period.
In terms of the difference between Ecosystem and Community tranches you can think of it like this.....

Community tokens are of a more growth focus with regards to incentivising those who can support growing traction and usage.
Ecosystem Development is to incentivising building on Bitscaler as a whole so think of things like developers adding things like perps, tokenised stocks and other RWAs as examples.
And we now have over 21% of our supply as a war chest we can use to drive Portal forward!
