TOKEN ALLOCATION
What does increased insider ownership in Public blockchains mean?
It could eventually hamper blockchains’ ability to become a truly decentralized public infrastructure
One of the most enticing features of blockchain technology is its decentralized nature. And many of the initial public blockchains have adhered to this functionality — launching the project and eventually how it operates with that key feature in mind. Just like designing a new economic system from scratch, blockchain projects have to tackle the issues of resource allocation to property rights to how this entire system will ultimately be governed and controlled.
This is becoming really important considering some of these blockchains would become an integral part of the public infrastructure that the global economy runs on. Therefore, the blockchain developers have an added responsibility on how to address the key metrics mentioned above. As described in the infographic above, the initial asset allocation is distributed broadly into four categories:
① Public Sale — allocations open to public participation
② Community Allocations — Ecosystem funding going back to the community
