🪙Secondary Token — Under Evaluation (Draft)
The bonuz Ecosystem "Accelerator" Token
⚠️ This page describes a concept that is not confirmed and may never be implemented. The secondary token (previously referred to as "$BOINTS") is one of several models bonuz has explored to accelerate ecosystem engagement. As of February 2026, no decision has been made to launch this token. It may be introduced, redesigned as something entirely different, or abandoned altogether. Read this page as exploratory thinking, not a plan.
Why a Secondary Token Was Considered
The original rationale for a secondary token was to separate two concerns within the bonuz ecosystem:
$BONUZ — the primary token carrying governance weight, long-term value, and protocol-level utility.
A secondary token — a deflationary, high-velocity reward token designed to accelerate daily engagement, incentivize app retention, and reward community participation during the ecosystem's early growth phase.
The idea was that a lightweight reward token could drive daily active usage (Quests, challenges, social media amplification, referrals) without putting selling pressure on the primary $BONUZ token. The secondary token would be exchangeable into $BONUZ at a fixed 10:1 conversion ratio, with all converted tokens permanently burned.
This model has merit in theory. In practice, bonuz has not yet determined whether the added complexity of a second token is justified — or whether the same goals can be achieved through off-chain points, $BONUZ-native rewards, or other mechanisms.
What the Model Looked Like
If the secondary token were to be introduced, this is the model that was being evaluated. None of this is confirmed.
Token Specifications (Conceptual)
Name: $BOINTS (working name)
Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 (capped, no additional minting)
Standard: ERC-20
Blockchain: EVM-compatible (BASE, BNB Chain, or equivalent)
Nature: Deflationary — tokens are burned on conversion to $BONUZ
Conversion Mechanics
Fixed 10:1 ratio: 10 $BOINTS → 1 $BONUZ
Converted $BOINTS are permanently burned, reducing total supply
Maximum 10% of $BONUZ total supply allocated for conversion (sourced from the "Marketing, Growth & User Incentives" allocation)
Trade failure guarantee: if $BOINTS fails on the market, 10 $BOINTS would always remain redeemable for 1 $BONUZ — no matter what
Supply Distribution (Conceptual)
The model included a 10-20% immediate unlock at TGE, with the remainder becoming available gradually over a 12-month period.
Circulation & Burn Projections
Maximum 55% of total supply would ever enter circulation
Two years after TGE, all non-utilized tokens in Reserve and Rewards allocations would be burned
With active user burn (10:1 conversions), total circulating supply could decrease to 15-20% of the original 1 billion
Earning Mechanics (Conceptual)
If implemented, the secondary token could be earned through:
Daily login streaks and consecutive engagement rewards
Quest and challenge completions (validated by bonuz Engagers)
Content creation contests voted on by the community
Referral program completions
Participation milestones (tiered rewards at activity thresholds)
In-app games, leaderboard competitions, and special events
Partner brand engagement challenges
Distribution would be capped daily, calibrated for approximately 50,000 daily active Engagers, with rewards kept deliberately minimal to prevent inflation. The off-chain points system would serve as a buffer — users earn points first, then redeem for tokens — allowing bonuz to adjust reward rates without on-chain emissions spiraling.
The secondary token would be earnable for a maximum of two years from TGE. After that period, no further reward challenges would be issued.
Current Status: Under Evaluation
bonuz has not committed to launching a secondary token. The decision depends on several factors:
User acquisition velocity — Does the ecosystem need a separate reward token to accelerate growth, or is organic adoption sufficient?
Market conditions — Is the market environment healthy enough for a dual-token model, or does added complexity create more risk than value?
Community feedback — Do users and partners want a secondary token, or do they prefer a simpler single-token model?
Regulatory alignment — Can a secondary token be structured in full legal compliance without creating classification risk?
If the secondary token is not introduced, its intended functions (daily rewards, engagement incentives, challenge payouts) would be absorbed by $BONUZ directly, handled through off-chain points, or managed through alternative mechanisms.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
This page is a draft. The secondary token described here is not confirmed and may never exist.
Everything on this page — including token specifications, conversion mechanics, supply projections, earning mechanisms, and distribution models — represents early-stage exploration that has not been approved for implementation. This model is experimental, highly speculative, and carries no guarantee of ever being launched.
bonuz makes no commitment to:
Launching a secondary token under any name
Honoring any conversion ratios described here
Implementing any earning or reward mechanics described here
Following the supply distribution or burn schedules outlined here
If bonuz decides to proceed with a secondary token, all specifications will be finalized, reviewed for full legal and regulatory compliance, and published as confirmed documentation before any Token Generation Event. The TGE for $BONUZ — and by extension any secondary token — will not occur before the platform reaches at least 60,000 active users.
This is not financial advice. This is an exploratory concept document for an experimental token model. There is no guarantee this model will succeed, be implemented, or retain any value if launched.
