Tokenomics

BNC β€” Token Economics

Fair distribution with utility-first design. Built for long-term sustainability and real network value.

Crypto Glossary for Beginners

Newbie Guide
TGEToken Generation Event

The day tokens officially launch and become tradable. This is the starting point (month 0) for all unlock phases. Example: TGE in Q1 2026 means you can buy/sell tokens from that moment.

VestingUnlock Schedule

Tokens are gradually unlocked over time instead of being released all at once. Example: 48-month vesting = a small portion unlocks each month over 4 years.

CliffLock Period

The initial period where tokens are 100% locked and cannot be sold. Example: 3-month cliff = tokens are completely locked for the first 3 months after TGE.

TreasuryProject Treasury

Where project tokens/funds are held for purposes like liquidity support, development, and marketing. The treasury helps the project operate sustainably long-term.

BuybackToken Buyback

The company uses revenue to buy tokens on the market. This creates buying demand β†’ supports price. Bought-back tokens are held in treasury to support liquidity.

DEX/CEXExchanges

DEX = decentralized exchange (Raydium, Orca) - you manage your own wallet. CEX = centralized exchange (Binance, OKX) - the exchange holds your funds. Both are places to buy/sell tokens.

Buyback & Reward Model

AI revenue is fairly distributed to the community

1
Users
Share unused internet bandwidth through the UPGO app
2
AI Companies
Rent bandwidth for data collection & AI model training
3
Revenue
AI companies pay USD/USDT to the UPGO network
4
Buyback
50% of revenue buys back $BNC β†’ Treasury & Liquidity
35%
Node Rewards
Paid directly to bandwidth contributors
50%
Buyback β†’ Treasury
Buy back tokens for treasury & liquidity
15%
Operations & Development
Server costs, development, marketing
Simply put:
  • You turn on the app β†’ share unused internet β†’ AI companies pay for it
  • 35% of that money goes directly to you (node rewards)
  • 50% is used to buy back $BNC tokens on the market β†’ increases token value
  • Bought-back tokens are held in the treasury to support liquidity
Key Milestone

Target 100,000 Nodes

When reaching 100,000 active nodes, UPGO will prove the real value of the network to investors.

IN PROGRESS
1
Phase 1
Community Building
0 β†’ 100K Nodes

Attract early users, build a solid foundation

Token rewards accumulate in wallet (not yet withdrawable)
2
Phase 2
ICO / VC Fundraising
Reach 100K Nodes

Conduct public ICO or raise funds from venture capital (VC) firms

Capital to reward the community and fuel development
3
Phase 3
Unlock Liquidity
Post ICO/VC

Token listed on exchanges, users can withdraw and trade

All accumulated rewards can be withdrawn for real money

Why does this model work?

Proof of Network Effect
100K nodes = clear evidence of real demand, helping convince investors
Higher Valuation
An active network is valued much higher than a project with just an idea
Real Revenue
100K nodes can generate revenue from AI clients, proving the business model
Strong Community
100K users = a ready community, free marketing, viral value growth
Simply put:
  1. 1You join early β†’ accumulate tokens in your wallet
  2. 2When we reach 100K users β†’ the project has real value
  3. 3Investors/VCs will fund the project
  4. 4That funding is used to: reward you + list on exchanges
  5. 5You withdraw tokens β†’ sell for real money
