What is EdgeX token?

edgeX is a decentralized perpetual exchange built for high-speed order execution, incubated by Amber Group, with mainnet launched in August 2024 on an Ethereum-based architecture. It combines off-chain order matching with on-chain settlement to deliver sub-10ms execution and up to 100x leverage while maintaining self-custody via forced-withdrawal smart contracts. The platform supports crypto perpetuals, U.S. stock perpetuals, commodity contracts, and prediction markets. EDGE is the native governance and utility token, deployed on Base network at TGE on March 31, 2026 with a hard-capped supply of 1 billion tokens.

How is EDGE tokenomics structured?

EDGE has a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. At TGE on March 31, 2026, approximately 350 million EDGE (35%) entered circulation — 25% from the Genesis airdrop, fully unlocked, and 5% from the Pre-TGE Season, unlocked 24 hours after TGE. The remaining 65% is distributed across locked buckets: Future Reserve (30%), Core Contributors (25%), Foundation, Ecosystem, and Liquidity (5% each). FDV represents the full 1 billion token supply valued at current price — current figure visible in the DropsTab header.

What does EDGE's token unlock schedule mean for investors?

No insider, foundation, or reserve tokens unlock for the first 12 months post-TGE — the first cliff arrives in March 2027, when Ecosystem & Community and Foundation allocations (10% of supply combined) begin 24-month linear vesting. September 2027 is the dominant overhang — the Future Reserve vesting cliff (300 million tokens, 30% of supply) opens. Core Contributors (25%) follow in March 2028. An additional 141.6 million tokens voluntarily locked post-TGE are also scheduled to unlock around April 2027, coinciding with the first cliff.

Who are EdgeX's investors?

Amber Group incubated edgeX — the founding team includes derivatives professionals from Amber's institutional trading operations. Per DropsTab, the Incubation round was formalized on August 28, 2025, with raise amount not publicly disclosed. Circle Ventures invested as the sole participant in a Strategic Round on February 10, 2026, also with amount undisclosed. The deal pairs with a planned native USDC and CCTP integration on EDGE Chain. No other institutional investors are publicly confirmed. The gitbook tokenomics show no dedicated investor allocation bucket.

What did EdgeX's airdrop require to qualify?

Eligibility was tied entirely to platform activity. The Open Season program (May 28, 2025 – late 2025) distributed points weekly based on trading volume, open interest, referrals, liquidations, and vault deposits — calculated every Wednesday at 00:00 UTC. The Pre-TGE Season (January 8, 2026 – March 31, 2026) replaced it with an XP system adding multipliers for mobile trading, MARU holdings, and Messenger activity. The Genesis airdrop distributed 250 million EDGE (25% of supply) across four tiers, with Tier 1 reserved for high-volume genesis users and testnet traders.

Why did EdgeX lock 141 million tokens after launch?

On-chain analytics revealed that approximately $195 million worth of Genesis airdrop tokens had concentrated in wallets linked to the team, including ~$90 million sent to 80+ fresh addresses. Community backlash prompted edgeX to voluntarily lock 141,658,500 EDGE (14% of supply) in an audited VestingWallet contract for one year, with unlock scheduled for approximately April 2027. EdgeX simultaneously launched a buyback-and-burn program funded by protocol trading fees as a supply offset. DropsTab's Vesting tab tracks unlock schedules including this voluntary lock.

Where is EDGE token traded?

EDGE trades predominantly through centralized derivatives venues. Per DropsTab, Binance Futures (EDGEUSDT) leads volume, followed by OKX Futures (EDGE-USDT-SWAP) and Bybit Futures. Spot liquidity is concentrated on Bybit and HTX (EDGE/USDT), with additional listings on Bitget, KuCoin, Gate, Coinbase, and MEXC. Note the ticker split: most exchanges use EDGE, while Gate, BitMart, and Coinbase list the same token as EDGEX — both reference the same Base network contract (0xb007...a241). DropsTab currently shows no DEX liquidity data for EDGE.

Is EdgeX audited by PeckShield or CertiK?

PeckShield completed a pre-mainnet smart-contract audit, reportedly identifying and resolving seven vulnerabilities before launch — the formal report has not been published publicly. CertiK's Skynet framework assigns EdgeX a 15% Code Security score and a 60% Owner Privilege score. The Owner Privilege score reflects an upgradeable proxy contract structure: the team retains admin keys capable of modifying core contract logic, which is the dominant centralization risk for token holders. Users can recover funds via forced-withdrawal mechanics even during platform downtime.

How does the EDGE token buyback-and-burn work?

A share of edgeX's trading fee revenue is allocated to programmatic open-market EDGE purchases through audited smart contracts with daily purchase caps and multi-sig controls. Acquired tokens are permanently burned, reducing circulating supply over time. EDGE stakers earn a separate yield stream — called Real Yield — by delegating tokens to validators that secure the EDGE Chain orderbook and receive a share of protocol fee revenue. Tokens subject to vesting cliffs or linear unlock periods cannot be staked during lockup.

What is MARU on edgeX?

MARU is edgeX's official community memecoin, launched on the platform on December 25, 2025, with a fixed supply of 10,000,000,000 tokens. It carries no governance rights and no claim on protocol revenue — its role is purely cultural and community-driven. 70% of MARU supply is allocated to airdrops and ecosystem incentives, 20% to liquidity (unlocked at listing), and 10% to core contributors (locked). MARU holdings also boosted XP multipliers during the Pre-TGE Season, giving active traders a small additional airdrop allocation advantage.
