Tokenomics Changelog: v2.0 → v2.1
Why this document exists
In June 2026, LFG Incorporated published an independent Red Team review of QoreChain's tokenomics. Their headline finding was correct: our website still reflected v2.0 figures while the v2.1 PDF contained materially different numbers. That gap was an operational failure on our side, and nobody should have to reconcile two conflicting documents to evaluate $QOR. This changelog lists every material change between v2.0 and v2.1, with the reason for each. From today, the v2.1 document at qorechain.io/whitepaper is the single canonical source. Every figure on the website, dashboard, and in this changelog is reconciled to it.
Material changes
Community Distribution allocation
v2.0 said
26% (1,170,000,000 QOR)
v2.1 says
16.33% (735,000,000 QOR)
Why it changed: Public Sale was resized from 450M to 150M QOR and the 135M Launchpad/IDO category was removed entirely. We moved to a community-funded model with a realistic raise target instead of a maximal one; the freed tokens were redirected to Staking Rewards, Liquidity Provision, and Treasury Reserve, which support the network after launch rather than increasing Day 1 sell pressure.
Initial circulating supply at TGE
v2.0 said
~16.3% (734,850,000 QOR)
v2.1 says
~6.0% post-burn (265,775,000 QOR)
Why it changed: Deliberate low-float repositioning. Analysis of 2024–2026 Layer 1 launches indicates low initial float correlates with stronger first-month price stability. Mechanically driven by the smaller Public Sale, deferred airdrop, removed Launchpad category, and larger genesis burn.
Implied launch market cap
v2.0 said
~$14,400,000
v2.1 says
~$5,315,000
Why it changed: Direct consequence of the float reduction at an unchanged $0.02 estimated listing price. We consider the lower figure honest, not cosmetic: it reflects what is actually tradable at listing.
Community Airdrop distribution
v2.0 said
450M QOR, 25% unlocked at TGE, 6 months linear
v2.1 says
450M QOR, deferred to 45 days post-listing, 4 monthly tranches of 25%
Why it changed: Same total allocation. Deferral removes airdrop sell pressure from the critical first weeks of trading and allows sybil filtering per tranche.
Public Sale vesting
v2.0 said
50% at TGE, 3 months linear
v2.1 says
15% at TGE, 30-day cliff, 6 months linear
Why it changed: Protects early price trajectory while keeping terms attractive enough to subscribe. The 30-day cliff covers the window where launch trajectory is established.
Private Round outcome
v2.0 said
270M QOR planned at $0.010
v2.1 says
5M QOR actually sold ($50,000 raised). The unsold 265M was reallocated: 165M to Staking Rewards, 100M to Treasury Reserve
Why it changed: The Private Round did not fill as planned. We are stating that plainly rather than carrying a fictional 270M line item. The shortfall is the main reason v2.1 pivots to a community-funded launch with the Public Sale as the primary raise mechanism.
Strategic Round structure
v2.0 said
180M QOR offered pre-TGE at $0.015, 5% TGE unlock, 6-month cliff, 18 months linear
v2.1 says
180M QOR held in foundation treasury, deferred to a Q3–Q4 2026 round after mainnet metrics exist. Full terms published separately at qorechain.io/strategic-round
Why it changed: Selling a strategic allocation pre-traction means negotiating from weakness. Deferring until TVL, validator count, and transaction volume are observable lets terms be set against real metrics. The full terms document, including custody and disclosure cadence, is published alongside this changelog.
Month 9 cumulative unlocked
v2.0 said
~41.2% of supply
v2.1 says
~24.3% of supply
Why it changed: Lower starting float plus the Private Round reduction shrinks every later cumulative unlock figure.
Month 12 cumulative unlocked
v2.0 said
~45.8%
v2.1 says
~29.4%
Why it changed: Same drivers as above.
Month 18 cumulative unlocked (peak period)
v2.0 said
~57.2%
v2.1 says
~40.7%
Why it changed: Same drivers. The Month 9–18 window remains the highest-risk unlock period and is addressed with staking bonuses, treasury buybacks, OTC facilitation, and milestone burns, detailed in the v2.1 risk section.
Genesis burn
v2.0 said
33.75M QOR (75% of a 45M Burn Reserve)
v2.1 says
80M QOR (100% of an expanded 80M Burn Reserve)
Why it changed: Stronger deflationary commitment at genesis, funded partly by the removed Launchpad allocation.
Staking Rewards pool
v2.0 said
225M QOR
v2.1 says
590M QOR
Why it changed: Receives 200M from the Public Sale resize and 165M from the Private Round reallocation. Extends staking APY runway through Year 5 and beyond.
Liquidity Provision
v2.0 said
90M QOR
v2.1 says
190M QOR
Why it changed: More than doubles launch liquidity depth across DEX pools and market-maker inventory.
Treasury Reserve
v2.0 said
135M QOR
v2.1 says
335M QOR
Why it changed: Receives 200M from the Public Sale and Private Round reallocations. Governance-controlled.
Launchpad/IDO category
v2.0 said
135M QOR, 100% TGE unlock
v2.1 says
Removed
Why it changed: A fully unlocked launchpad tranche was the single largest contributor to Day 1 sell pressure in the v2.0 design.
What did not change
Total supply remains fixed at 4,500,000,000 QOR. The estimated TGE listing price remains $0.02 with the pre-sale at $0.018. The fee distribution remains 37% validators, 30% burned, 20% treasury, 10% stakers, 3% light node operators. Seed and Core Team vesting terms are unchanged (0% TGE, 12-month cliffs).
Process fix
The root cause of the website/PDF divergence was tokenomics figures duplicated across surfaces with no single source of truth. As of this publication, the website and dashboard read from one shared configuration, and an automated check verifies every published figure against the canonical document on each deployment.
On-chain transparency
All main QoreChain Association wallets, including the Strategic Round treasury wallet, will be published on June 22, 2026 on the explorer page at dashboard.qorechain.io. The Strategic Round terms document will be updated with the wallet addresses on the same date, so every allocation described in the canonical tokenomics can be verified on-chain.
