$MSN

MSN is Meson.Network's incentive and governance token. It has four primary functions:

  • For rewarding miners
  • For staking by miners
  • As payment by users
  • Protocol governance
  • The tokens are distributed to network terminals (miners) as rewards for providing server resources.

Currently, there are no benefits for staking the tokens as the functions of transfer for Meson Test Tokens on Ethereum are locked. Users of the services will pay in MSN to get additional bandwidth. These tokens are then rewarded to miners through the repurchase and destruction of tokens.

Meson allows its Token holders to vote on development or modification of parameters of the protocol.

Token Circulation

Miners will get MSN as a reward while providing an idle server to meson.network. Miners will reach full mining speed only if they stack MSN accordingly. Clients send payments to meson.network while using Meson service. All MSN can be exchanged at CEX or DEX.

Core Team Allocation

“development team members” or “developers” is defined the same as “core team members” which includes sub-teams below:

  1. tech team (developers who contribute code to meson.network)
  2. marketing team
  3. production team
  4. operation team
  5. advisors
  6. advocate

Initially, all tokens are assigned to the tech team, subsequently redistributed to the respective sub-teams.

Important !!!:

  1. The exact vesting schedule of tech team (sub-team 1 ) is already determined.
  2. The exact vesting schedule of 2 ~ 6 sub-teams is not determined currently and Meson.network retains authority over determining the precise vesting schedule for these sub-teams.
  3. Meson.network reserves the right to appoint who belongs to which team.
