The upcoming CTSI Foundation Reserve unlock will occur in the amount of 1,538,333.00 CTSI (0.15%) of the total supply on April 23rd, 2023.
Internal governance consensus is reached by the Cartesi foundation before devoting or expending CTSI to any event. The foundation reserve unlocks are vital for the development of Cartesi infrastructure, bootstrapping its ecosystem, and for the operations of the foundation itself.
No entity or token holder is more interested in the health of CTSI’s economy than the Foundation itself for its entire existence and longevity. The Foundation liquidates only the amounts deemed necessary, remaining careful not to disturb the secondary markets of CTSI.
In total, 40.22% of the total CTSI supply is reserved for the Cartesi foundation and will be fully unlocked by July 23rd, 2023.
Supply Curve
As a reminder, the following chart represents the number and breakdown of all CTSI tokens that are to be released into circulation on a monthly basis.
