ETHGas Foundation Unveils GWEI Token Allocation Strategy

2 min read
Key Points:
  • ETHGas Foundation outlines governance token allocation plan.
  • GWEI features structured unlock periods over 10 years.
  • Community and investor interests align with linear unlocks.

ETHGas Foundation has unveiled its GWEI token allocation plan, involving a gradual release of the 10 billion tokens to ensure community governance participation.

This strategic allocation supports Ethereum’s scalability goals, potentially revolutionizing how institutional players access and trade block space.

ETHGas Distributes 10 Billion GWEI Tokens Strategically

The ETHGas Foundation’s newly announced governance token, GWEI, includes a total supply of 10 billion tokens intended to be distributed among ecosystem, investors, team, community, foundation, and advisors. Major allocations include 31% for the ecosystem and 27% for investors, each with specified unlock periods. This approach aims for stable governance dynamics by incorporating both long-term and immediate commitments.

Changes from this event include strategic token locks to facilitate decentralized governance and incentivize participation through airdrops automatically staked at launch. Investors and team members are bound by lock-up periods, underscoring ETHGas’s commitment to a structured governance framework.

Ethereum Market Evolves Amid GWEI Token Framework
