The token
Membership is free and the applications are free. BONA funds development and governs the roadmap — it does not gate the software. It is not an investment product, and its price may fall to zero.
Four jobs
Tokens are sold at a fixed published price in public rounds, and the proceeds pay for the software. This is where the project’s money comes from — there is no other source.
Members lock BONA against the requests they need, and the quadratic ranking decides what gets built next. Locked, not spent — it returns whenever the backer chooses.
Members vote on budgets, signers and the rules themselves. Voting happens off-chain on Snapshot, so casting a vote costs nothing. Locked tokens still carry full voting weight.
Testers, reviewers, translators, writers and developers earn BONA for work that is verifiably done — a portable, public record of what someone contributed.
BONA is sold to fund software development. We make no promise of profit, return or appreciation in value, and we give no price target and no forecast. A listing on an exchange is a stated goal, not a commitment, and we give no date for it. The price may fall. You may lose the entire amount you pay. Token sales are regulated differently in different countries and may be restricted where you live. Nothing here is investment, legal, or tax advice — obtain your own.

Funding
Rounds are time-boxed, priced in advance, and spent in public. Money sits in an escrow contract — not with us — until the round’s floor is met.
| Route | Where your money goes | Do we receive it? |
|---|---|---|
| Sale round — on this site | Escrow contract, then the 2-of-4 Safe multisig | Yes — all of it |
| Exchange or liquidity pool | The pool — that is, to whoever is selling | No — nothing |
Buying on an exchange is a trade between two holders — the treasury is not a party to it and receives nothing. Only sale rounds fund the project. Tokens from a round vest linearly over six months, while voting weight counts from day one; there is no bonus for the vesting and no way to skip it — every buyer in a round gets the identical price and schedule.
An automated market maker sells tokens at an average price well below the market price it ends at. Selling 3,333,333 BONA through a pool that ends at 0.018 USDC returns about 20,000 USDC — an average of 0.006. Selling the same tokens directly at a fixed 0.01 returns 33,333 USDC, and moves no market price at all.
At scale it fails outright: pushing 30,000,000 BONA into a pool holding 30,000 USDC returns roughly 28,000 USDC and collapses the price by over 99%. You cannot take more out of a pool than buyers put in. So the pool stays small — 5%, locked — and exists so a holder can exit without finding a private buyer. Nothing more.
Distribution
Every block below is 500,000 BONA — the whole fixed supply, in one picture. Money and work weigh the same: 30% is sold to fund development, 30% is earned by the people who do the work.
Hover any block. The contract has no minting function — not a restricted one, an absent one — so this picture can never grow.
The team’s share is smaller than either 30% pool, equal to the share that leaves the project entirely as donations, and releases more slowly than any other allocation — with no lump unlock on any single day. Funded in annual tranches; a leaver keeps what was already funded and simply receives no more.
