Abay GERD Token

Bitcoin introduced hard supply limits and predictable issuance. Dogecoin demonstrated strong community participation, but it keeps adding approximately 5 billion tokens per year and has no maximum supply cap.

GERD follows a different structure: 1 billion tokens released per year, fixed maximum supply of 120 billion, and the majority of supply locked under a long-term vesting model.

This section is about token supply structure, not a promise of financial returns or future price outcomes.

The core thesis is simple: digital value is strongest when ownership begins with the people.

GERD was distributed freely to create early decentralized ownership instead of relying on seed investors, private allocations, or institutional capital concentration.

GERD is designed as a digital asset for participation and digital ownership, not as a government-backed currency.

Total supply is fixed at 120 billion GERD. 115 billion are locked and released over 115 years, with 1 billion released annually.

Non-technical view: imagine a fixed amount shared each year. If fewer wallets hold, each wallet gets a bigger share; as more wallets join, each share becomes smaller.

This predictable structure supports long-term engagement and controlled expansion of circulating supply.

GERD distribution is designed to be fair and open: no presales, no private allocations, no venture capital pool, and no insider advantage.

GERD is claimed, not purchased. The objective is broad digital ownership distribution rather than capital fundraising.

The store-of-value framing is conceptual: as fiat money supply expands, some people choose scarce and transparent digital assets with predictable issuance.

This is not a guarantee of returns. Market relevance depends on adoption, participation, and broader legal/market conditions.

GERD is a digital token, not legal tender, and not intended to replace national currency systems.

GERD is an experimental digital asset. Adoption and long-term value formation are uncertain.

GERD does not promise financial returns. Participation should be based on informed, voluntary decisions.

As Chief Project Manager of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, Engineer Simegnew Bekele represented resilience, discipline, and long-term national commitment.

He led through intense technical and operational pressure, and his contribution remains a defining part of GERD's legacy. This symbolic allocation honors that service and keeps his contribution visible in the digital era.

Prime Minister Meles Zenawi is recognized for the strategic vision and leadership that helped launch one of Ethiopia's most significant infrastructure projects.

His role in establishing a generational development direction continues to shape the GERD narrative. This symbolic grant is a digital tribute to that long-term national vision.

H.E. Abiy Ahmed Ali (PhD), Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is recognized for national leadership during the period in which GERD moved through its final construction phase and inauguration milestones.

Under his premiership, public messaging around national unity and shared development remained central, and GERD continued as a defining long-term project for Ethiopia's future.
