Ethena Launchpool details
Binance has provided clear information about Ethena’s Launchpool program, including details about token supply, rewards, and staking terms in the official announcement.
The maximum token supply for the program is set at 15 billion ENA, with 300 million ENA reserved for Launchpool token rewards, which is equivalent to 2% of the total token supply. Participants in the program can expect significant rewards.
The first circulating supply of ENA is fixed at 1,425,000,000 ENA, which constitutes 9.5% of the maximum token supply.
Ethena operates on the Ethereum blockchain and enforces staking regulations that require Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and enhancing security for users.
Users will be able to farm ENA by staking BNB and FDUSD.
Ethena Labs announced on X that the ENA public mainnet is about to start and revealed the details for early access for Ethena airdrop allocation.
