· 200 million GTs will go to developing and researching, released linearly in a term of 10 years after a 12 months lockup;

· 100 million GTs will go to market expansion, released linearly in a term of 10 years after a 12 months lockup;

· 200 million GTs will go to ecosystem building, released linearly in a term of 10 years after a 12 months lockup; and
