LEO 2.0: The Launch of Deflationary Tokenomics

The LEO token, which previously funded rewards by creating new tokens (inflation), is making a big change. It's moving to a system where no new LEO tokens will be created, and the total supply might even decrease (deflationary).

What's Happening?

Instead of printing new LEO tokens for rewards, the INLEO platform, especially its successful LeoDex app, will use its earnings to buy back LEO tokens from the open market. These bought-back tokens will then be placed into a special pool called the System Income Rewards Pool (SIRP). This SIRP will be the new source for author and curation rewards.

This important change was originally planned for later, but because LeoDex has been doing so well and making a lot of money, the team decided to make the switch much sooner. "Wen" (when) has become "Soon."

Key Points of LEO 2.0:

  • No More New Tokens: The old way of creating new LEO tokens for rewards is ending. This means LEO will no longer be an inflationary token.
  • Rewards from Income: Rewards will now come from the money generated by INLEO platforms, mainly LeoDex.
  • Buying Back LEO: The money earned will be used to buy LEO tokens directly from the market.
  • SIRP Funding: These bought-back LEO tokens will automatically fill the SIRP, ensuring a steady supply of rewards.
  • Rewards Continue: You'll still get rewards for your posts, comments, and threads, but the source of those rewards will change from newly created tokens to tokens bought back from the market.
  • LEO Becomes Deflationary: By stopping the creation of new LEO and regularly buying back tokens, LEO is set to become a deflationary asset, meaning its total supply will decrease over time.

Why is this a Big Deal?

Think of it like this:

  • Inflationary (Old Way): Imagine a company that keeps printing more shares to give to its employees. If they print too many, each share might be worth less.
  • Deflationary (New Way): Now, imagine a company that uses its profits to buy back its own shares from the market. This makes the remaining shares more valuable because there are fewer of them.

This shift aims to make LEO more valuable over time by creating scarcity. As the supply decreases and demand for the INLEO platform grows, the value of each LEO token should theoretically increase. This also makes holding LEO more attractive, as its value is tied to the success of the platform.

The LEO team, who are also LEO token holders, believe that by making the ecosystem succeed, everyone involved will benefit.

Important Dates:

The LEO 2.0 launch event is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18th, at Noon EST. The team will be sharing more detailed information through videos and weekly Q&A sessions every Tuesday at Noon EST.

This is great news, and thank you for explaining the details of this change.
We may look back one day and mark this as a major point of change.

Your welcome, it is very exciting

It's amazing that they have a Go Live Date already.
It seems like Khal just talked about this in the AMA last month!
#feedback

Thanks, I share your excitement.

The idea of this sounds cool, and Bitcoinish as in like Bitcoin.
The fact that we now have a Go Live Date is very exciting!
Thanks!

Khal will love to hear Bitcoinish!

Thanks for the date announcement, @shortsegments!

Another important mechanism in this Tokenomics 2.0 is the double staking one: we'll have the opportunity to continue staking our "heLEO" (the Hive wrapped version of $LEO) on INLEO, to receive heLEO based on our curation activity, and now also to stake it inside the Arbitrum established LEO DAO, through LeoDex, to receive USDC.

Your welcome!

When the creation of new tokens ends and the burning begins, it is a very special day for the project and for its users as its value will definitely increase in the future.

I agree, I don't kniw how long it will take to affect the price, but I hope it affects investment right away.

This is a massive leap forward for the LEO ecosystem! Turning rewards into something that’s backed by real income rather than inflation is a smart and sustainable move. The deflationary model will not only strengthen token value but also build long-term trust in the platform. Props to the team for listening to the community and accelerating the rollout. Looking forward to June 18th — LEO 2.0 sounds like a true game-changer! 🔥🦁🚀

I agree!
I think this is a gamechanger for LEo.

This is real transformation, From an inflationary system to a sustainable, well-thought-out model based on actual profits 👏.

Yes it is a big change!

Thanks for sharing.

This is a great news I must confess. The issue is that hope it will not affect the tokenomic if The old way of creating new LEO tokens for rewards is ending

I agree it should improve tokenomics

Great

Yes, it is great news!
