GNOMICthe token, and how to check it
This page is the argument that GNOMIC is what it says it is. Every number on it can be read off gno.land without asking us, and the two links at the bottom of each section are how.
The token
GNOMIC is a GRC20 token on gno.land. 21,000,000 of them exist, all minted the day it launched, and there will never be more. The contract counts every token it has ever minted, not the ones in circulation, so burning some does not quietly make room for new ones.
It is the currency of everything built here: launching a token costs 1,000 GNOMIC, opening a collection costs 1,000 GNOMIC, and whoever has GNOMIC rooted — staked — earns a slice of each one.
Where all 21,000,000 went
-
15MAirdrop · 71.43%
Shared between the 12,107 addresses holding at least 2,000 GNOT the day gno.land started.
-
5MEcosystem fund · 23.81%
Pays for whatever the project needs. It also grows by itself: every time someone gives an airdrop up, half burns and half lands here.
-
1MDev fund · 4.76%
And that is the whole insider allocation. There is no liquidity slice, no foundation, no private round.
How the airdrop shares were worked out
The list was not invented. It was read off gno.land itself: every address holding at least 2,000 GNOT the day the chain started. Nobody was added afterwards and nobody can be — the snapshot is older than the announcement.
Shares follow the square root of the balance, and stop at 5,000 GNOMIC. A straight proportion would have handed almost everything to a handful of wallets; a flat split would have paid the same to someone who held ten times more. The square root sits between the two: the largest balance on the chain is 166,000 times the smallest and receives nine times as much.
Three ways to take a share, one choice, no going back. The comparison — with your own numbers in it — is on the claim page.
Proof, not promises
Writing 12,107 rows on chain would have cost more than the airdrop is worth. Instead the list is hashed in pairs, over and over, until one fingerprint is left — the Merkle root below. That single number is what the contract keeps, and every claim carries the dozen hashes that connect one line to it. Change a digit anywhere and the arithmetic stops arriving at the root the contract already holds.
Both realms are published and immutable: their code is on chain and cannot be swapped out, so what you can read is what runs. The proofs themselves are served from this site's proofs/ folder, and everything from the snapshot to the tree is in the repository — rebuild it and you should land on the same root, character for character.

What GNOMIC is for
Two things are built on it. Both work today, both run on a gno.land testnet, and neither is on mainnet yet.
Mycelium — the token launchpad
One contract mints and looks after every token launched on it, with an optional Merkle airdrop for each. Launching costs 1,000 GNOMIC, and 1% of the new supply is carved out of it for whoever has GNOMIC rooted.
live on testnetRings — the NFT launchpad
A ring is one collection of a fixed size. The chain shuffles the numbers once as the circle opens and deals them blind: nobody picks which one they get. Opening one costs 1,000 GNOMIC.
live on testnetRoots — staking
Rooting means staking. Locked GNOMIC earn a share of the 1% every launch sets aside. Roots mature in a day, and digging them up takes 28.
live on testnetTesting first is the point, not a delay: the token is sealed and cannot change, and the launchpads are the part we still expect to fix.
