-
Public goods and critical protocol infrastructure;
-
Eth Research, where the idea of LazyLedger was first discussed;

Individuals who helped build the early modular ecosystem, including public contributors to other modular DA layers currently under development, such as Avail, Eigenlayer, and Solana, which actively participated in Modular Summits I and II.
Two-thirds are allocated to 576,653 on-chain addresses:
-
20 million TIA allocated to the most active users of Ethereum rollups;
