EKUBO token
Information about the EKUBO token
The EKUBO token is an L1 Ethereum token bridged to Starknet, developed for the purpose of decentralizing ownership of Ekubo Protocol.
Initial distribution
The total supply of the EKUBO token is 10 million (10,000,000). The total supply was split into 3 equal parts of 3,333,333 tokens. The 3 categories of distribution for the EKUBO token generation event were:
Airdrop: 1/3rd of the total supply was distributed to users via airdrop
Team: 1/3rd of the total supply is held by the company Ekubo, Inc.
Sale: 1/3rd of the total supply was sold by the DAO for ETH, USDC and STRK via Ekubo's DCA order feature
Airdrop
Each user's allocation of EKUBO was calculated based on their share of total points on the leaderboard, with a few adjustments: we exponentiated each user's points (i.e. p^x) based on their role in the ecosystem, and accounts that earned less than 1,000 points were excluded. As a result, users who used fewer accounts received slightly more EKUBO tokens from the airdrop.

The following pools were used: EKUBO/ETH 5%, EKUBO/STRK 5%, and EKUBO/USDC 5%.
Approximately 3,269,920 EKUBO was sold for 343.675 ETH, 1,204,770 USDC, and 1,549,920 STRK.
Team
The company Ekubo, Inc., a service provider to the DAO, holds one-third of the total supply. There is no vesting schedule for these tokens. The team has come to an agreement with the DAO to hold these tokens indefinitely via governance proposal to fund the company's provision of services.

Disclaimer
The EKUBO token serves only to decentralize the ownership role of the on-chain instance of the core Ekubo Protocol.
Ekubo, Inc., is not in any way obligated to provide service, maintenance, or development for Ekubo Protocol and related tools or services except as explicitly agreed via governance proposal.
The governance infrastructure is necessary security infrastructure: it protects users of Ekubo Protocol from malicious upgrades by requiring a decentralized and interested majority of stakeholders to come to consensus on the validity and safety of the changes.
