Information about Wormhole Token W
Specifically, the token W will have a total supply of 10 billion and an initial circulation of 1.8 billion, allocated across 5 blockchains: Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. Among these, 617.3 million W will be airdropped to 397,704 eligible cryptocurrency wallets belonging to the community of bridge users in the past, Discord group members, NFT community members, and top stakers of PYTH.
This constitutes a portion of the 11% of the total W supply that Wormhole has committed to allocate to the community. The remaining tokens will be unlocked 4 months after the TGE event.
Token W will be an integral part contributing to the formation of a decentralized governance mechanism for Wormhole. W holders can delegate tokens to facilitate voting on important decisions for the protocol such as supporting additional blockchains, upgrading smart contracts, changing transaction fee structures, etc.
Wormhole raised $225 million from several major funds in November 2023 after announcing its separation from Jump Crypto.
