Initial distribution, supply schedule and elastic emissions for RAM token


Distribution

Below is the initial distribution of RAM.

Ramses community (veRAM)
45%
Hyperliquid community
30%
Treasury
23%
Protocol-owned liquidity
2%

Breakdown

The Hyperliquid Community (30%) allocation contains the NFT Airdrop (20%) and Incentives (10%). Within Incentives, RXP receives 3% and Liquidity and Vote Incentives receive 7%. All percentages below are shares of the initial supply.

Emissions

Below is an illustrative projection of the baseline weekly emission schedule (before elastic emissions) and supply for the first 500 Epochs (~10 years). The burn scenario assumes all emitted RAM is converted to xRAM and, as with every RAM → xRAM conversion, 50% of the converted RAM is burned. Actual burns depend on how much RAM is converted.

Emissions vs. Supply

Illustrative emission schedule. Gross supply approaches 883.75M RAM. Net supply approaches 616.875M only if all emitted RAM is converted to xRAM and 50% of each conversion is burned.

  • Initial supply: 350M tokens
  • The Gross supply dashed line shows initial supply plus emissions before burns
  • Filled supply area shows net supply after subtracting burns under the illustrated conversion assumption
  • The Assumed cumulative burns line shows cumulative burns under that same assumption

Elastic Emissions

Emissions can be modified by up to ±25% per epoch depending on protocol revenue to maintain sustainable inflation. 100% of ALL emissions go to gauges—there are no team allocations or other distributions, ensuring fully decentralized emissions.

Emissions may be increased when revenue is greater than or equal to emissions for several consecutive epochs, or when near-term catalysts are expected to increase revenue.

Emissions may be decreased when revenue remains substantially below emissions for several consecutive epochs, or when revenue is expected to decline.

Note: These are approximate projections and actual emission numbers may vary. This model demonstrates our commitment to sustainable, long-term supply growth.


Multichain Token Architecture

Ramses plans for RAM to exist canonically on Ethereum Mainnet and extend to other chains using an OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) model powered by LayerZero. This architecture is a work in progress and is not yet deployed.

Canonical RAM

PropertyDetails
Native ChainPlanned for Ethereum Mainnet
Bridge TechnologyPlanned LayerZero OFT
Cross-chain TransfersPlanned transfers via an OFT adapter
Supply ManagementIntended single canonical supply

Once deployed, this architecture is intended to keep RAM as a single canonical asset with shared supply accounting across deployments. Trading liquidity will remain local to each chain.

How OFT Works

The planned architecture will use the following components:

ComponentFunction
Canonical RAMPlanned native token on Ethereum and source of truth for total supply
OFT AdapterWill coordinate cross-chain transfers via LayerZero
LockboxWill hold canonical RAM on Ethereum when RAM moves to a remote chain
RamsesOFTPlanned chain-specific RAM representation backed by canonical RAM
