Every genesis allocation on EmpoorioChain has a purpose stated in the canonical tokenomics. The liquidity allocation is the one most often confused with the treasury — the mainnet gate itself once conflated them — so this post separates it out.
The allocation
| Allocation | DMS | Share | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founder | 300 M | 30 % | Multisig; 12-month cliff, linear to year 4; excluded from staking rewards (to be enforced in code) |
| Ailoos AI rewards | 300 M | 30 % | Multi-year compute budget |
| Public sale | 150 M | 15 % | Single round at $0.65 |
| Treasury | 150 M | 15 % | Spend capped at 10 % per year |
| Liquidity | 100 M | 10 % | Multisig not yet constituted |
A test in the node's chain-spec module asserts these sum to exactly 1,000,000,000.
What liquidity means here
The allocation exists to seed markets where DMS can be exchanged — first on the chain's own DEX, later wherever else. The mainnet gate lists as a recommended (not blocking) condition a DMS/USDC pool seeded with at least 500,000 DMS and the equivalent in USDC. That is the concrete first use.
It does not mean paid market makers, exchange listing fees, or price support. No exchange lists DMS; no market-making agreement exists; and the tokenomics document is explicit that the allocation's purpose is depth, not price: selling less does not raise the price — it reduces the initial liquidity, which is what makes a new token move violently.
The placeholder
In the genesis chain spec the liquidity account is a marker without a key. The multisig that will control it — its signers and its threshold (3-of-5 or otherwise) — has not been constituted. Until it is, the allocation is reserved on paper and unspendable in practice. The tokenomics document records this as to be constituted rather than pretending a committee exists.
Why the confusion with treasury matters
The mainnet gate's governance section used to read treasury initialised — 100 M DMS. The 100 M is the liquidity line; the treasury is 150 M. Two different allocations with different rules — the treasury is capped at 10 % spend per year and funded by 20 % of fees and 70 % of slashes; liquidity is a one-time seed — were merged in a launch checklist. It was corrected in the gate with a note explaining the error, which is the ecosystem's standard for corrections.
The DEX today
EmpoorioChain's native DEX (pallet-dex) settled its first real swap on 14 September 2026, after the treasury account that collects its fees was found never to have existed — one DMS from sudo created it. Pools on the testnet are seeded with test assets. The 100 M liquidity allocation is a mainnet concept; on the testnet the DEX is exercised with tokens that have no value, as it should be.
