LEA Tokenomics
The LEA token serves exclusively as a functional component of the LEA protocol. Its purpose is to enable network security, protocol governance, and the operation of core infrastructure mechanisms.
The following token-related mechanisms do not constitute an investment model, do not imply any expectation of profit or value appreciation, and do not grant economic or ownership rights. They define how responsibilities, operational costs, and security requirements are allocated within the protocol. No expectation of profit, yield, or secondary market value development is implied or promoted.

Denomination and Precision
The LEA currency is divisible down to six decimal places. The smallest unit is called a “Microlea” (μLEA).
| Name | Branded/Themed Name | Abbreviation | Value in LEA | Value in Smallest Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lea | Lea | LEA | 1 | 1,000,000 |
| Decilea | Branch | dLEA | 0.1 | 100,000 |
| Centilea | Leaf | cLEA | 0.01 | 10,000 |
| Millilea | Bud | mLEA | 0.001 | 1,000 |
| Microlea | Sprout | μLEA | 0.000001 | 1 |
Distribution
| Category | Allocation (Coins) | Percentage | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community & Ecosystem Growth | 65,000,000,000 | 65% | Distribution to active network participants for functional usage, testing, and contribution to protocol security and operation. Tokens are allocated based on participation and usage of the LEA network after mainnet launch and do not represent compensation for capital provision. |
| Protocol Incentives | 15,000,000,000 | 15% | Compensation mechanisms for validators and provers who actively operate network infrastructure and provide security-critical services. Compensation is variable, non-guaranteed, and strictly linked to: (1) actual network activity, (2) correct protocol behavior, (3) and the continuous provision of technical resources. Passive holding of LEA does not entitle holders to any form of compensation. |
| Founders & Team | 10,000,000,000 | 10% | Subject to a 4-year vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff post-mainnet launch. |
| Foundation Treasury | 10,000,000,000 | 10% | Long-term financing of operations, security, and protocol development by the foundation. Managed by governance. |
| Total | 100,000,000,000 | 100% |
Note: A limited portion of the Community & Ecosystem Growth allocation may, subject to regulatory notification and applicable legal requirements, be made available in the future as a technical access mechanism to protocol-level functions. This potential mechanism does not constitute a separate sales allocation category and is not intended as a fundraising or investment activity.
The LEA token is not issued or distributed for the purpose of capital formation or investment financing. Network development is funded independently of token distribution. Token allocation is solely intended to support protocol operation, security, and functional usage of the LEA network.. The LEA Foundation is funded by private equity and the founders. The token distribution is designed exclusively to foster a healthy, secure, and active ecosystem by distributing tokens to those who contribute to and use the network.
Validator Node Allocation
Participation as a validator requires staking a fixed amount of LEA. This requirement serves exclusively for network security (Sybil resistance) and is determined by protocol governance. The number of validator slots is technically limited, and participation is open to all who meet the staking requirements and provide the technical prerequisites. It does not represent an investment and does not create any expectation of economic return.
