What is a Founder
Founders are early participants who joined before Genesis (2023), prior to the protocol’s canonical market activation phase. Any earlier DEX exposure did not represent an officially activated market under the protocol framework.
Founders participated during the system’s pre-activation stage, when structural parameters, distribution logic, and market sequencing were not yet formally enabled.
They assumed timing risk and infrastructure uncertainty inherent to an early-stage protocol environment. Founders are therefore recognized as long-term aligned capital, not short-term liquidity.
The purpose of the Founders program is structural continuity — to acknowledge early participation while preserving orderly activation and systemic stability for all subsequent participants.
