Orderly Network is thrilled to share more details of our upcoming airdrop, which as previously announced, will occur in August. More details on our token – including the exact launch date, emissions, process for claiming and more – will be shared soon.

Token Distribution

One billion $ORDER will be created at genesis. Fifty five percent will be reserved for ecosystem development (including the airdrop), 20% for the Orderly team & advisors, 15% to strategic investors, and 10% retained in the Orderly Foundation treasury to foster exchange liquidity and related endeavors. Out of total supply, 13.3 percent is allocated for the airdrop.

Not only are we committed to growing the network for the long haul, truth be told – (alpha alert!) trading perpetuals is only the first step in a far larger plan for what Orderly can do.

Note: The entirety of the airdrop will be unlocked immediately at TGE.

Any unclaimed token allocation after 60 days will be returned to the Orderly treasury.

Staking

Once the Orderly Network token is launched, tokenholders will be able to stake the Orderly token, and in return, will cumulatively receive 60% of our net trading fees in return. To date, Orderly has generated more than $8 million in net fees (even after accounting for our frontend builders’ share) – after TGE, 60 percent of those new net fees will continually accrue to Orderly stakers. Staking rewards will be paid out in USDC when redeemed.

Note: Orderly team and investor tokens do not earn staking rewards during vesting.

Staking the Orderly token will also provide extra rewards for any traders utilizing an Orderly Network-integrated DEX, as well as being a key factor in the calculation of both trading and market making rewards moving forward. There is also the possibility to increase the percentage of net trading fees cumulatively accrued to stakers in the future. Additional information on new trading & market-making rewards will be published soon after the token launch.

Staking will go live soon after TGE; more details on the exact date and time will be shared in the near future.

Governance

Similar to many other decentralized projects, Orderly Network plans to split into a developer entity, and a foundation overseeing the protocol. We’re committed to fostering the Orderly ecosystem in an impartial manner that grows the pie for all.

$ORDER will play a key role in these plans, the details of which we will outline in the near future, but in general, $ORDER’s utility will be deeply integrated into the platform to create a flywheel effect, driving platform adoption and aligning the interests of stakeholders through:

• Governance Rights: $ORDER staking will empower token holders to partake in decentralized governance regarding key aspects of Orderly Network as the governance process is formalized.
• Earning Valor: Valor is our method of determining each individual user's taking position in terms of amount and duration, entitling users to a corresponding share of the protocol treasury. More details on Valor will be forthcoming.
• Boosting Trading & Market-Making Rewards: As mentioned above, by staking $ORDER, traders receive a higher share of the trading rewards; staking $ORDER also enables market makers to receive a higher share of the market making rewards.
• Other Utilities: Additional $ORDER token utilities will be introduced in Orderly Network's upcoming products, as well as integrated third-party DeFi protocols.
