Supply boundary
The 100M ADM genesis pool is the only launch-phase source of ADM: 70M is burn-allocated, 30M is validator-allocated.
§ Genesis · how the chain bootstraps
100 000 000 ADM,
drained by burn and by block.
Adamant has no premine, no foundation, no investor round. The genesis pool of 100 million ADM is partitioned 70 / 30 between burn-to-mint and validator block rewards. There is no other way for ADM to exist.
§ 01 / Pool
Genesis pool · live drain.
100M ADM total, split 70 / 30 between burn-allocated and validator-allocated. The two segments drain at different rates. When both reach zero, the chain enters its post-genesis issuance regime.
Burn-allocated · remaining 70,000,000 / 70 000 000 ADM
Rate: 20 ADM minted per USD-equivalent burned
Validator-allocated · remaining 30,000,000 / 30 000 000 ADM
Rate: emitted per epoch to active validators
Total drained: 0 ADM Time elapsed since genesis: — 5-year cap on launch phase
The bar reads left-to-right as drain progress. The burn segment depletes only when ADM is minted from a verified burn; the validator segment depletes per epoch as block rewards are paid. Counters update at the new-epoch boundary. Pre-launch values are placeholders.
§ 02 / Boot
The launch rules.
Genesis is not an allocation event. It is a bounded state machine: supply enters only through verified burn or validator emission, and the chain activates only after the minimum validator floor is actually online.
Activation floor
The chain self-activates when at least 7 Node Runners are simultaneously registered, stake-eligible, and online.
Cohort ceiling
The first 75 validator slots form the genesis cohort. Registration is first-come, first-served until the ceiling is reached.
Post-genesis regime
When both pool segments reach zero, the chain leaves launch issuance and moves into the scheduled post-genesis regime.
Source of truth
The whitepaper controls the mechanics. Site counters, calculators, and cohort views are public interfaces over those rules, not alternate policy.
Launch invariant
No foundation allocation, no premine, no investor round. If ADM exists during launch, it came from the pool by one of the two defined drains.
§ 03 / Acquisition
Burn-to-mint.
The only way to acquire newly-minted ADM during the launch phase. Provably burn BTC, ETH, USDT or USDC; receive ADM at the fixed rate. During pre-launch the calculator below is informational only.

50,000 ADM
Stablecoins burn 1:20 (1 USDT/USDC → 20 ADM). BTC/ETH rates are calibrated to USD-equivalent at protocol design time and are constant through the launch phase — not a live oracle. This avoids gaming on intra-window currency fluctuations. Per-address claim caps apply: 1% of the burn pool months 0–1, 2% to month 3, 4% to month 6, 8% to month 12, then uncapped (WP §10.2.3).
The flow
- 01 Select source assetBTC, ETH, USDT or USDC. Each has its own provable burn primitive.
- 02 Connect source walletOr paste a burn-tx signature you have already broadcast.
- 03 Specify amountUSD-equivalent at the moment of burn. ADM mint reads from the same on-chain oracle.
- 04 Sign burnSource-chain transaction. Address publicly verifiable; pre-image is OP_RETURN-style data.
- 05 Watch source confirmBTC: 6 confirmations. ETH: 32 epochs. USDT/USDC: 64 confirmations.
- 06 Watch ADM mintAdamant validator set verifies the burn proof and mints ADM to your destination address.
- 07 ConfirmationADM appears in your wallet, shielded by default. The burn is logged in the public mint ledger.
§ 04 / Cohort
The genesis cohort register.
All 75 slots, in registration order. Each filled slot shows the validator address, activation epoch, and Genesis NFT identifier. The cohort marker is permanent — bound to the original address for the lifetime of the chain even if the slot is later transferred.

The original cohort address receives a non-transferable on-chain marker for the lifetime of the chain.
Each cohort slot is paired with a freely tradeable Genesis NFT, separate from the permanent marker.
Validator slots can transfer by mutual consent at an epoch boundary; seniority stays with the slot.
The cohort marker does not move when a slot transfers. It remains attached to the original address.
§ 05 / Stake
Stake floors.
The minimum bond to take a staked role. Floors apply at genesis and are subject to scheduled re-evaluation at five-year intervals (WP §11.5.4) to prevent token-appreciation-driven exclusion.
Node Runner
1 000 ADM
Validators stake at least 1 000 ADM to take a slot. Self-bond and delegations both count. Slashing applies to both. 28-day unbonding.
Node Watcher
100 ADM
Witnesses stake at least 100 ADM to publish attestations. Set is uncapped; competition for fees regulates participation. 7-day unbonding; slashable for false attestations.
