#genius $GENIUS Token Unlocking and Vesting

Detailed public vesting schedules appear limited or not fully disclosed in some sources, which is a noted point of transparency for the project. Key known elements:

At TGE (April 13, 2026): ~335M tokens entered circulation, including community airdrops and other initial distributions.

Airdrop Claim Mechanics (Season 1 example): 70M tokens allocated.

7-day claim window post-TGE.

Immediate claim: 70% permanent burn penalty (receive only 30%).

Default (do nothing): Full 100% locked in a smart contract for 1 year, then claimable. This discourages short-term dumping.

Team/Investors: Reports indicate minimum 1-year lock post-TGE for team and private investors, with structured vesting afterward to promote alignment. Some mentions of deposits to exchanges (e.g., ~66M tokens) raised community concerns about potential selling pressure.

Ongoing distributions from ecosystem/community pools tied to trading activity and future seasons (e.g., via GP system) will gradually increase circulating supply.

Dilution Risk: With ~66% of supply not yet circulating, future unlocks and emissions could create selling pressure unless offset by strong demand from platform usage, fees, and adoption.
