🏦 Transparency shouldn’t be controversial, but here we are.
Our vesting schedule has been public since December 12, 2022.
It clearly shows token distribution and quarterly unlocks.
With every unlock, circulating supply naturally increases — because unlocked tokens are, by definition, part of circulating supply. There’s nothing new, hidden, or manipulated here.
Seeing FUD around the ION explorer showing a higher circulating supply is disappointing.
This isn’t “something the team is doing” — it’s simply accurate data.
For the old
$ICE token, circulating supply was taken from CoinMarketCap, which was not updating correctly according to the vesting schedule.
As we prepare the migration to
$ION, we chose a different path:
👉 full transparency with real, up-to-date numbers.
That’s why the circulating supply you see now is the correct one.
To make things even clearer, we’re introducing a new metric:
Net Circulating Supply
= Circulating Supply − Staked − Burned
This shows the actual tokens available on the market at any moment — exchanges + wallets.
If we weren’t transparent, people would complain.
When we are transparent, some still cry foul.
The facts are simple:
If our intention were bad, we wouldn’t increase visible supply — we’d hide it.
We chose accuracy, clarity, and accountability instead.
That’s what building long-term means.
