it’s the core incentive layer that keeps the entire BounceBit ecosystem running. It secures the network, drives on-chain activity, and shapes the protocol’s future, all while unlocking deep Bitcoin liquidity.
Here’s what BB powers:
Validator Bonding: Validators stake BB alongside native BTC to secure the chain.
Gas Token: Every smart contract action on BounceBit’s EVM chain runs on BB.
Redemption Layer: LCT redemptions and validator restaking include BB-based fees.
Governance: Holders vote on key protocol decisions — from parameters and AVS design to onboarding RWAs.
Fee Burn (2026): A share of network and premium fees will be burned, adding deflationary pressure.
With a fixed supply of 2.1B BB and just ~19.5% in circulation at launch, the tokenomics are built for long-term growth. Emissions are steady, with team and investor cliffs starting mid-2026 — giving time for BB’s utility to fully mature.
The roadmap ahead includes DAO activation, real-world asset vaults, and cross-chain messaging. BB isn’t just a utility token — it’s governance, liquidity, and economic alignment combined.
