About IVX

What is IVX in simple terms?

IVX is an on-chain options AMM built on Arbitrum and now expanding as a derivatives hub on Berachain. It runs Diem, a 0DTE options market for BERA, ETH, and BTC, plus Levo, an intent-based perpetual market for BERA pairs. Its design relies on GMX’s oracle model and hedges exposure via margined futures.

How many IVX tokens exist?

The supply is fixed at 100 million IVX tokens—no minting beyond this cap. That structure is meant to keep scarcity clear and avoid inflation. All future activity depends on redistributing these coins, not creating new ones.

How are IVX tokens allocated?

Distribution is split across team (20%), community incentives (56.6%), investors (11.1% across seed, strategic, and public), airdrop (4.2%), advisors (2.5%), and market making (4.5%). Vesting periods vary: team and advisors unlock over two years, while community tokens stretch across four years. Public tokens were released at TGE.

What’s the vesting and unlock schedule?

Unlocks follow strict cliffs and linear schedules. The biggest long-term flow is the community tranche—56.6% unlocking gradually over 48 months. Seed tokens vest over 23 months, strategic tokens finish in six, and advisor plus team allocations span two years. No surprise unlocks beyond this are planned.

Did IVX raise funding?

Yes—USD 1.2 million in a May 2024 seed round. Animoca Brands and AVID3 led, joined by Big Brain Holdings, Web3Port, Forbole, Cogitent Ventures, and angel investor Ameet Patel. That early capital backed both protocol development and ecosystem deployment.

Where can IVX be traded?

As of now, IVX isn’t trading on public venues. Once live, listings are expected on top CEXs and DEXs, with IVX/USDT anticipated as the primary pair. Until then, access is limited to testnets, campaigns, and its ecosystem build-out.

Has IVX run any airdrops or campaigns?

Yes—4.2% of supply was earmarked for the first airdrop, distributed to early testers with a 3-month vest. The Artio testnet launched in May 2024, offering users incentive rewards. Ecosystem campaigns continue as IVX rolls out Diem and Levo on Berachain.

What’s ahead on IVX’s roadmap?

Roadmap milestones include TGE and first exchange listings, expansion into perpetual markets, and adding more supported assets. On Berachain, the Diem and Levo platforms will anchor IVX’s role as a derivatives hub, offering daily options and intent-based perp markets.

What risks should users know?

Smart contract risk is always present in AMMs, especially for derivatives. Regulatory headwinds are another concern—options markets face extra scrutiny in many jurisdictions. Liquidity pressure from unlocks and incentive programs could also affect market depth once trading begins.
