🧱 BB Token: The Core Incentive Layer of BounceBit
More than just a gas token, BB is the beating heart of the BounceBit economy. It secures the chain, powers on-chain activity, and governs protocol evolution—while enabling deep liquidity around Bitcoin.
🔑 Here’s what BB does:
– Validator Bonding: Alongside native BTC, validators must stake BB to secure the network
– Gas Token: All smart contract activity on BounceBit’s EVM chain is paid in BB
– Redemption Layer: LCT redemptions and validator restaking include BB-based protocol fees
– Governance: Holders vote on protocol parameters, AVS design, RWA onboarding, and more
– Fee Burn (Coming 2026): A portion of network and premium fees will be burned, creating a deflationary tailwind
With a capped supply of 2.1 billion BB, and only ~19.5% in circulation at launch, the tokenomics are designed for long-term protocol alignment. Emissions are linear, with cliffs for team and investors starting mid-2026—providing time for utility to mature.
Backed by a roadmap that includes DAO activation, real-world asset vaults, and cross-chain messaging, BB isn’t just a utility token. It’s a governance asset, economic bridge, and liquidity key rolled into one.
