Цена LayerEdge

EDGEN is the native utility token of LayerEdge, a decentralized verification network designed to enhance Bitcoin's scalability and computational capabilities. By leveraging zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs and BitVM, LayerEdge enables off-chain computation verification while anchoring security on Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus. This approach allows multiple protocols to share verification costs, achieving up to a 95% reduction in Layer 1 settlement expenses and up to a 99% decrease in proof verification costs.

LayerEdge operates through a decentralized network of nodes that verify complex computations using zero-knowledge proofs. Users can participate by running light nodes via the edgenOS application, which transforms ordinary devices into verification nodes without requiring specialized hardware. These nodes contribute to the network's security and efficiency, and in return, operators earn EDGEN tokens as rewards.

LayerEdge was conceptualized to address the scalability limitations of the Bitcoin network. The project launched its public testnet in January 2025, allowing users to run light nodes and earn EDGE points through participation. These points were later converted into EDGEN tokens during the Token Generation Event (TGE) scheduled for May 31, 2025 . The initiative attracted early support from investors such as Blockchain Founders Fund and Founderheads.

EDGEN serves multiple purposes within the LayerEdge ecosystem:

Transaction Fees: Used to pay for verification and settlement services on the network.

Incentives: Rewards for node operators who contribute to network security and efficiency.

Governance: Holders can participate in decision-making processes affecting the platform's development.

Staking: Users can stake EDGEN tokens to earn additional rewards and support network operations.

Users can earn EDGEN tokens by actively participating in the LayerEdge network:

Running Light Nodes: Operate a light node using the edgenOS application to contribute to network verification processes.

Completing Tasks: Engage in on-chain activities and quests designed to enhance the network's functionality.

Referrals: Invite others to join the network and earn bonus rewards through referral programs.

The total supply of EDGEN tokens is capped at 1 billion, distributed as follows:

Community & Airdrop: 46% (15% for airdrops, 31% for ongoing rewards).

Ecosystem Grants: 18%.

Core Contributors: 15% (subject to a 36-month linear vesting schedule).

Investors: 14% (18-month cliff followed by linear vesting).

Treasury Reserve: 7% .

This allocation strategy aims to promote sustainable growth and incentivize active participation within the LayerEdge ecosystem.

To claim EDGEN tokens from the airdrop:

Visit the Official Airdrop Page: Navigate to the LayerEdge airdrop portal and connect your EVM-compatible wallet.

Check Eligibility: Ensure you have accumulated EDGE points through activities like running light nodes or completing tasks before the snapshot date.

Claim Tokens: If eligible, follow the on-screen instructions to claim your EDGEN tokens.

Staking: Consider staking your EDGEN tokens to earn additional rewards and participate in network governance.

Please note that the airdrop claim window opens on May 31, 2025, coinciding with the Token Generation Event (TGE).
