I was going through the $GENIUS tokenomics documentation last night and one number stopped me.
At TGE on April 13, 2026, only 335 million tokens entered circulation out of a fixed 1 billion total supply.
According to official documentation at docs.tradegenius, the Shuttle Labs team and private investor allocations, combined 32.5% of total supply, are locked for a minimum of one year.
That means 325 million tokens cannot participate in governance right now.
This is why it matters and why nobody is talking about it. Every governance vote happening today on protocol upgrades, new blockchain integrations, Foundation fund allocation, is being decided while the largest token holders are locked out.
Retail is the dominant governance voice on this protocol right now.
That is not a permanent condition. It is a temporary window.
This is my own estimate and I have not seen this framed publicly..
April 2027 brings 325 million additional tokens into the governance equation roughly equal to the entire current circulating supply.
One cliff date effectively doubles the voting weight in play.
What I cannot find anywhere in official documentation is how voting weight gets calculated.
One token one vote? Lockup requirement to participate? The governance page explains what holders vote on. It does not explain how power gets distributed.
That gap bothers me more than the unlock schedule itself.
Is retail shaping this protocol right now in ways that will matter or will April 2027 quietly reset everything decided before it?
