We’ve been listening closely to everything you’ve been asking in Discord, and across socials - and now we’re kicking off a new monthly series to bring you direct answers from the founders themselves.
In each Community Q&A, we’ll gather the most frequent or pressing questions from the community, bring them to Josh & Jon, and share back their answers so everyone gets the inside scoop. Think of it as a peek behind the curtain - more transparency, more clarity, and a stronger connection with the team.
How you can get involved:
- Drop your questions in Discord or on X and tag @chasesupra (or via our upcoming landing page).
- We’ll compile the top questions each month.
- Josh & Jon will answer them, and we’ll publish the full Q&A recap across socials so it’s easy to reference and find.
This is just the first of many - let’s build this together. 
Question 1 (Ticker):
“How did you arrive at the decision of allocating 1.75% of the total supply to the community? Could you share the reasons behind this choice? I’m not judging, but I want to know.”
Answer:
First of all, it’s key to understand that the “1.75% community sale allocation” is just a small part of the overall “community allocation”. Out of the total LIQUID supply:
- 15% is allocated to genesis airdrop (for the community)
- 25% is allocated to future emissions (for economic security, user incentives, and community)
- 40% is allocated to FTO (for the $SUPRA community)
- 1.75% was allocated to the community sale on CommonFund
Now, this 1.75% allocation for the community sale was purely to give Supra’s strongest supporters a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor early and to strike the right balance between meaningful community participation and long-term ecosystem sustainability. Our goals were to ensure the program was large enough to matter, but capped enough to stay aligned with SupraLiquid’s broader token strategy.
Here’s the thinking behind it:
-
Viable minimum: We set a baseline of around 100M $SUPRA (around 1% of supply) to guarantee the program would be impactful. Once demand exceeded that level, we allowed it to scale up modestly and finalized the cap at 1.75%.
-
No whales: We placed individual caps (~$8k max per person) so that no single party could dominate. The average contribution ended up being around $900 each, which is exactly the kind of broad, grassroots distribution we wanted.
-
Sustainable incentives: Roughly 200M $SUPRA were sold. Combined with tokens reserved for SupraLiquid, this creates a robust pool of incentives to bootstrap activity across the ecosystem.
-
Protecting the Citadel: We deliberately limited this raise so the Citadel vault remains strong to fund future projects and growth.
In short: we capped it low, spread it wide, and made sure every token raised here will fuel incentives and growth. Overall, we wanted to be sure to keep our token strategy aligned with the community while protecting future opportunities for the ecosystem. And the 1.75% allocation is just the “community sale allocation”, while allocations to dedicated community incentives and FTO are significantly larger.
Question 2 (mangamation):
“We know you can’t talk too much about cex listings ect but what is being done to help supra be more inclusive for our American holders? No u.s cex now not able to take part in $liquid citadel or presale.”
Answer:
We’re actively exploring options with reputable U.S. exchanges to make $SUPRA more accessible for American holders. While this wouldn’t extend to programs like CommonFund, the Citadel, or presales, it would create more opportunities for U.S. participants to access and trade $SUPRA more easily.
That said, the challenge comes down to regulatory clarity. Until there’s a clear legal framework, we can’t open certain initiatives to U.S. holders, no matter how much we’d like to.
We know this has been tough for our American holders, so we appreciate your patience, and we’ll let you know about any updates as soon as we possibly can.
In short: while we can’t bypass regulations, we’re committed to finding compliant ways to improve access, and we’ll continue keeping the community updated as progress is made.
Question 3 (Serko):
“How fast can new chains be onboarded on SupraLiquid? Does it do it via SupraNova? I guess that will slow things down considerably.”
Answer:
To clarify, SupraLiquid is a perp DEX being built on a Supra Chain Container on Supra L1 blockchain, a new microchain model that we are introducing.
Given that it’s built on Supra L1, everything will flow through Supra, likely via SupraNova or other bridges that are live. Users should be able to onboard to SupraLiquid from any chain connected to Supra.
While onboarding users and liquidity from new chains will depend on SupraNova’s integrations, it’s already live to move from Ethereum to Supra and the two-way Ethereum bridging is estimated to be live by mid-October. With that foundation, we’ll really be able to accelerate integrations with more chains.
Question 4 (Ticker):
“Another one, Joshua posted somewhere on X, that all coins will be available on TGE, so full distribution at beginning? And what is this points system?”
Answer:
Yes, airdrops earned by the time we TGE will all be vested at TGE. There will not be any vesting or lockups for the airdrops you’ve earned.
But remember, the airdrop will be tied to a points system designed to reward real users. In short: everyone will be able to participate, but how much you earn will depend on your onchain activity on SupraLiquid once the app goes live.
You can expect the points will be earned through meaningful activities - things like providing liquidity, trading on the DEX, and engaging with different initiatives we launch.
Those points will directly translate into token allocations. So the more value you bring to the ecosystem (e.g., liquidity, volume, participation), the more you’ll benefit.
This model is inspired by successful launches like Hyperliquid, which also started with a points system to determine a fair and value-driven airdrop.
Question 5 (MaxFac1):
"The biggest thing right now is the T-1 US cex listing. This just simply can’t be ignored nearly a year since tge. We talk about boot strapping liquidity. This is how you bring money on chain. I know you guys know this, but it’s very easy to update the community without violating NDAs. Even if it’s not great news (I.e. we’ve talked with 3 major US exchanges and their listing fees are too expensive for right now). You guys are delivering technology in such an incredible fashion but this issue will continue to plague sentiment until you get it done.
Or at least an update on whatever the difficulty is. Is there some technical difficulty since it’s a totally brand new consensus/move language that makes it not attractive for coinbase to put resources into listing it? We’d just like to know what progress has been made."
Answer:
That’s a great question, and we completely understand the concern. Getting listed on top-tier CEXs, especially in the U.S., is something the team is very aware of. The reality is that most exchanges prioritize EVM-based chains because they’re easier to integrate. Since Supra is a brand-new Layer 1 with its own consensus and Move-based language, it requires more engineering resources on their side, which naturally slows down the process.
That said, this isn’t about listing fees or lack of effort, it’s mainly a technical hurdle. We’re continuing conversations with exchanges and making progress, but it takes time. In parallel, we’re also gearing to bring EVM support to Supra L1 (SupraEVM), which will make listings more straightforward in the near future.
We know this has been top of mind for many in the community, and we’ll keep you updated as soon as there’s concrete progress. Thanks for your patience, it’s a complex process, but we’re pushing forward.
Question 6 (dataluchs):
“Update on the Autofi strategies. Has focus shifted to supraliquid and just not really pushed further, or what is the status quo, will they launch soon or in a month, or whats the situation? Most talk is about supraliquid atm, but getting all these autofi strategies out to mainnet would turn the autofi app from mvp to amazing product. Thx! Ah and an update on evm mainnet would be great as well.”
Answer:
AutoFi strategies haven’t been abandoned, they’re still a core focus. After launch, we hit ~500 active accounts and realized there was an opportunity to make things even faster and more efficient. So we decided to take the opportunity and make the changes now, which will make us even more competitive in the future.
These updates have been underway alongside SupraLiquid and are nearly complete. Some of the upgrades are already live on mainnet, and we’ve also already released more features on the AutoFi app too (Limit Orders, Stop Loss orders, and TWAP orders). We will continue to release more features over the coming weeks, and we’re also working on a major upgrade with Automation V2 as well.
As for EVM mainnet, it’s progressing in parallel. The same updates to automation and contract design will make EVM support smoother and more scalable once live.
In short: AutoFi is very much alive, some exciting new features have already been released, and the current ongoing work on Automation V2 will make them much stronger and more reliable.
Question 7 (crypto_blonde):
“Will there be an opportunity to become a Supra validator to support the project? If so, what will be the conditions?”
Answer:
Yes! There will definitely be opportunities to become a Supra validator and help support the network. The process is open to individuals and projects, though we’re especially encouraging ecosystem partners and dApp teams to step up as validators.
To qualify, here’s what’s expected:
-
Start on testnet: Run a validator on testnet to demonstrate you can handle the technical requirements and respond quickly when needed.
-
Show reliability: Prove consistent uptime, strong response times, and the ability to manage operations responsibly.
-
Delegation eligibility: Once you’ve shown stability on testnet (usually over 2–3 months), you can become eligible for delegation directly from the Supra Foundation.
-
Priority for builders: Ecosystem partners actively building on Supra may be prioritized in the queue.
Validators can always run independently, but to receive foundation delegation, you’ll need to prove reliability through testing and responsiveness first.
Question 8 (Serko):
“Will the SupraLiquid token also be used for gas like the HyperLiquid token?”
Answer:
Right now, the plan is for the SupraLiquid perp dex app to be completely gasless like Hyperliquid.
While there are no plans to use the token as gas in the same way Hyperliquid does on HyperEVM, there will be utility to run the SupraLiquid microchain and also to pay the Layer-1 for security and re-execution.
SupraLiquid is designed with a gasless trading experience in mind.
Here’s what that means:
-
Covered gas: The system itself is intended to handle gas costs, so users won’t need to worry about paying them when trading.
-
Utility: The token will still play a role in powering the microchain and contributing to L1 security/re-execution, giving it real utility in the underlying network and infrastructure beyond just trading.
-
UX goal: The aim is to make the user experience as smooth and fast as HyperLiquid - without the users needing to even think about gas..
That said, this is still being fine-tuned. The goal is gasless trading, but further token utility details could evolve as the system develops.
Question 9 (anonymousuzzer):
“Once you fix the kyc issue with american citizens will you be able to reserve a percentage maybe .25% to sell to them in the near future since this is an American token but theyve been screwed with listings and now this.”
Answer:
At the moment, U.S. citizens can’t take part in the SupraLiquid sale because of regulatory restrictions. The only possible path forward would be through an accredited investor route. That would mean:
-
A separate legal agreement would need to be signed confirming accredited investor status.
-
Same caps as everyone else (max $8,000 per person), no special allocation or reserved percentage.
-
Minimum group size: If enough accredited U.S. investors (say 3 - 5) wanted to participate at the maximum amount, then it might be worthwhile for our legal team to draft something.
To be clear, this isn’t guaranteed - it would require legal approval and may not move forward if only a few people are interested or if compliance hurdles are too high. But if there’s strong enough demand, we’ll definitely look into this and see what we can do.
Question 10 (JC):
“Just wanted to get your attention. Yo chase can one of the upcoming streams go over upcoming dapps and their timelines? Supra stack looking great, but we need some more apps.”
Answer:
We’d be happy to dedicate part of an upcoming stream to cover new dApps and their timelines. A lot of teams are lining up for launch, but many of them were dependent on the bridge and now on iAssets. That caused a slight delay, but things are moving forward.
Here’s what we can share right now:
-
SupraLend, SuperLane, Evo, and Atmos are among the first in line.
-
They’re currently working through final integrations with iAssets.
-
If all goes as planned, some are targeting September and October launches.
-
By the end of October, you should see 3-5 new dApps live on Supra, which will really expand the ecosystem.
We’ll coordinate with the teams and make sure to highlight progress and timelines during a future stream so the community has visibility into what’s coming.
Question 11 (thejiperrrr):
“The only question I have and that is really important for me. 1) Why 1 billion transferred in June? 2) Why 375 million at the beginning of August 3) Why 500 million now? All from a wallet from the team. The transactions are on SupraScan, so we can’t deny it. I have no other, relative to this, important questions. Why? Because this and only this is the reason we are below .005 and .01.”
Answer:
Those transfers weren’t from a “team wallet,” but from the Foundation wallet. They represent how the Foundation funds ecosystem initiatives and growth.
It’s important to emphasize a few things:
-
Not Team Tokens: The team’s token allocations remain untouched. These transfers are strictly Foundation-related.
-
Ecosystem Investments & Operations: Funds are used to support dApps, integrations, infrastructure (like SupraScan itself), and broader ecosystem growth.
-
Multi-sig Oversight: Every Foundation transfer requires multiple approvals from a large, global multi-sig group. That means no single person can move funds unilaterally. To reduce overhead, the Foundation sometimes moves larger amounts in bulk rather than lots of small, repetitive transactions.
-
Community Benefit: Ultimately, these resources are used to bootstrap Supra’s ecosystem. Investments from the Foundation end up flowing back into community-aligned initiatives like the Ecosystem Fund and Fuse Vault, so value created is shared proportionately with holders.
In short: the transfers are planned, transparent, and foundation-directed. They are not sales from the team, but rather necessary steps to grow and sustain the Supra ecosystem long-term.
That’s a wrap for Community Q&A, Volume 1! 
Big thanks to everyone who dropped questions - keep ‘em coming, we’ll be doing this every month.
