We’ve been listening closely to your feedback and questions across Discord and socials - and we’re back with Community Q&A: Volume 2 , bringing you direct answers from the founders themselves.
Each month, we gather the most frequent and pressing questions from the community, bring them to Josh & Jon , and share their answers right back with you. Think of it as your monthly deep dive into Supra’s vision, progress, and roadmap - with full transparency and clarity straight from the source.
How to Get Involved
You’ll now be able to publicly post your questions in the #community-qa channel within Discord, which opens every month for questions.
From there:
We’ll gather and organize the top community questions each month (you can upvote them with emotes).
Josh & Jon will answer them directly.
We’ll publish the full Q&A recap across socials so it’s easy for everyone to reference.
We’re building this together - your questions drive these conversations.
Let’s keep the dialogue open, honest, and forward-looking. 
Question 1: Lucas Entregas
"I feel like many people often complain about ‘launches’ without real use cases. For example, we could bring over assets like supUSDC from Ethereum but not actually use them. So, what’s the current state of the network in terms of attracting new developers and encouraging real usage? another question is: “Right now, what is the team more focused on? We know there’s work being done on Supraliquid, new networks for Supranova, and other initiatives — but where is most of the effort currently being directed?”
Answer:
Those are both great questions.
You’re right, supUSDC itself currently has limited utility. That’s why, right now, our main focus is actually on iAssets . This is a new framework we’ve developed that allows for multi-reward structures , meaning a single asset can earn yield from multiple sources , and we believe these multiple yield sources will be extremely helpful in attracting new devs and encouraging real usage.
For example, once iAssets are ready, instead of using supUSDC, users can deposit USDC (and other crypto assets) into Supra vaults, and get iUSDC . With that iUSDC, users can earn yield from multiple channels, such as:
- Block rewards through the Proof-of-Liquidity program
- DeFi protocol rewards (like from SupraDeFi)
- Cross-chain DEX fees through our upcoming Dynamic Function Market Maker (DFMM)
To support this, dApps have needed to upgrade to our new Fungible Asset standard , which will make tokens more scalable and efficient. We’ve been helping dApps upgrade to this standard, which requires audits and other tech assistance, and this takes time to get right.
The iAsset program is already live on testnet , and currently, we’re working with partners who may be able to bring in tens of millions in potential liquidity, but we want to make sure everything works perfectly before going to mainnet.
All of this will build the foundation for highly efficient cross-chain DeFi , which will give Supra a significant competitive advantage and help us attract more devs and users.
Second Question:
For Supra to have a compelling edge against other chains, we need several technologies to work together in unison, not just one. That’s why we have multiple teams of engineers each working on a few key projects simultaneously , all focused on building out Supra’s powerful core infrastructure .
This infrastructure consists of five key technologies working together, including:
- Layer 1 network (with parallel execution and multi-VM support for both Move and Solidity)
- Oracle + VRF (live)
- Bridge (live, reverse-bridging in progress)
- Automation (live)
- Cross-chain DeFi stack (iAssets + DFMM, currently undergoing pre-mainnet audits)
A few years ago, we might have been able to stand out by just launching with just a high-speed L1, but in today’s competitive environment, we need highly differentiated products to stand-out. That’s why we need to launch multiple products that work together, instead of prioritizing a single effort.
Overall, iAssets, DFMM, and cross-chain automation are all revenue generating protocols that, combined, will allow us to provide both devs and users a powerful cross-chain DeFi experience , giving Supra a unique value proposition and a deep moat that no other network can easily replicate.
Question 2: anonymousuzzer
“Will supraliquid incorporate chain abstraction or similar mechanism(similar to myx which 200x’d in the past 2 months) to reduce friction caused by having to bridge assets over?”
Answer:
As Supranova continues to roll out additional bridges and integrations, users will be able to access SupraLiquid directly through Supranova .
Question 3: Marcus B. Bull
“Given the concerns that are repeatedly expressed here , what concrete steps is the Foundation taking to improve governance and execution so that the tech potential isn’t undermined by organizational failures?”
Answer:
This is an important question — and I think there’s often some confusion around what “foundation tokens” actually are and how they’re used.
First, foundation tokens are not public funds . That’s true not just for Supra, but for every major project — including the Ethereum Foundation. These tokens are reserved resources meant to support the project’s mission, ecosystem growth, and technology development .
Supra’s token is a utility token , not a governance token (yet). Our long-term goal is to introduce governance responsibly, through a reputation-based system , rather than a system where the largest holders automatically control decisions. This will take time — about two years to design and implement correctly — because we want to avoid plutocracy and build a model where governance is earned through genuine contribution, not just token holdings.
In the future, when the decentralized treasury is live and generating revenue, that’s when governance will shift more meaningfully to the community. The treasury will be network-owned , and decisions about how those funds are used will be transparent and participatory.
In the meantime, the Foundation’s focus is on using its resources efficiently to build, ship, and support a vibrant Supra ecosystem — not to hoard tokens or sit idle. We’re actively funding and supporting around 10 ecosystem projects at different stages, while also developing 10+ revenue-generating mechanisms that will feed the decentralized treasury.
This includes innovations like:
- Automated systems for arbitrage and liquidation capture that can generate significant revenue
- Value-capture models that convert positive MEV (miner extractable value) into protocol-level revenue
- SupraLiquid and other DeFi mechanisms that generate real yield for the network
These mechanisms are designed to make the Supra ecosystem self-sustaining — generating consistent revenue every block. That revenue will later fund community initiatives, token buybacks, and treasury governance.
As for execution: we’re realistic about the fact that Supra is taking on one of the most ambitious infrastructure builds in Web3 . The team is small, highly specialized, and focused on long-term scalability and security. That sometimes means things take longer — especially with audits and new cryptographic systems like reverse bridging — but the trade-off is worth it. Every delay reduces future technical debt and ensures we’re building something that lasts.
The bottom line:
- Foundation tokens are being used to build and strengthen the ecosystem , not held back.
- Governance will evolve toward a reputation-based, community-driven model once the decentralized treasury is live.
- Supra’s focus is on execution and sustainability , not speed for its own sake.
We’re playing to win long-term , not just to survive the cycle — and, consider we’re building something that’s never been done before, that requires patience, precision, and continual improvement.
Question 4: timsntech
“One question for the next community Q&A: How many pairs will be tradable on SupraLiquid launch? It would obviously be great to have as many pairs as possible so people are actually interested in using it. Not only 2-3 pairs, like Supra ↔ “X”.”
Answer:
One of the biggest advantages of how we’ve built SupraLiquid is that the perpetual markets run directly on Supra’s on-chain Oracle price feeds . That means we already have the data infrastructure to support a very large number of trading pairs right from the start.
In theory , we could launch hundreds of pairs on day one .
However, the smarter approach is to roll them out gradually to ensure strong liquidity and a smooth user experience.
So the plan looks something like this:
Launch: Start with a strong set of high-demand markets (around 10–20 pairs)
Post-launch scaling: Add new pairs continuously — potentially hundreds over time- Long-term: Capable of supporting 500+ markets , thanks to our Oracle + automation stack
Because Supra controls the Layer 1 , the Oracle network , and the automation layer , we’re uniquely positioned to scale fast and introduce new markets much more quickly than most other ecosystems.
In short:
SupraLiquid will launch with a solid lineup of tradable assets — and has the infrastructure to expand rapidly into one of the largest perpetual markets in Web3.
Question 5: Ticker
“Question for Q&A, is SUPRA Team (Josh, Jon, James, you Chase) interested in a Coinbase listing, if not, WHY? If SUPRA Team is already talking with them, what is the status?”
Answer:
Yes - we are absolutely interested in a Coinbase listing. There’s no question that it would be a major milestone for Supra and an important step in expanding accessibility.
We’ve spoken with the Coinbase team before. The biggest hurdle has been that Supra currently uses a MOVE-based environment , and supporting new chains like ours requires Coinbase to build entirely new infrastructure on their end. They’ve also had a backlog due to them going public and prioritizing chains that are simpler to integrate.
However, once EVM support is fully live on Supra, the process becomes dramatically easier. Coinbase already supports many EVM-compatible networks, and integration on that front is 10–20x faster compared to onboarding a brand-new architecture.
So the strategy is straightforward:
We want to be listed
We’ve already opened communication
We’re waiting until our EVM rollout is complete to accelerate the process
Once that piece is live - it’s full steam ahead on centralized exchange listings.
Question 6: [HEIM] Kingmaker MartinDude
“Wen SolanaVM mainnet?!”
Answer:
We’re now following a policy of not publishing specific timelines — mainly because these are extremely complex engineering challenges, and even small delays can lead to community frustration if expectations aren’t aligned.
That said, work on our SolanaVM compatibility has already begun . We started development over a month ago. Early results are very promising.
To summarize:
SolanaVM development has already started
Early performance data looks very strong
It will take time — but we’re building it the right way
No public timelines until we’re closer to launch
SolanaVM is a key part of our Multi-VM strategy and a big step toward welcoming even more developers and users into the Supra ecosystem.
Question 7: paladien042 || Solido Money
“Does Supra have any plans to raise more VC funds? Or facilitate OTC transactions for VCs that want out? Has Supra thought about reducing foundation seed funding to projects (to give them the bare minimum needed to build) and instead have them focus on winning funds from the community? This would reduce the amount of tokens flooding the marketplace from the “ecosystem fund” and instead reduce token supply (support positive price action) by forcing projects to win tokens already circulating from users.”
Answer:
We’re already moving in that direction.
In the past, some ecosystem funding commitments were made when market conditions were much stronger. We intend to honor those agreements , because backing out mid-stream would hurt the builders who are relying on us — and we want our reputation to remain solid and reliable. That said, we are significantly tightening how ecosystem funds are deployed moving forward.
Instead of heavily funding projects directly, our focus is shifting toward community-driven funding , including:
CommonFund sales — where new ecosystem projects raise directly from the community, with new sales approximately every 4-6 weeks
More opportunities for users to earn and hold token allocations
Projects receiving only the minimum needed to get started , then growing through market demand
This reduces the need for the Foundation to distribute as many tokens, helps protect the circulating supply , and increases community alignment with the projects being built.
On the VC / OTC side:
Yes — those conversations are ongoing , but that’s not something we can comment on publicly right now.
To summarize:
- We’re honoring existing agreements
We’re becoming much more conservative with new token deployments
Community-driven fundraising is now the primary path for new projects
OTC and VC discussions are active but confidential
Ultimately, the goal is to support builders without flooding the market , while keeping the community at the center of ecosystem growth.
Question 8: paladien042 || Solido Money
“How much liquidity is ready to come over to Supra once POEL is ready?”
Answer:
We’re already in conversations with groups that collectively have access to hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidity. The interest in Supra’s Proof-of-Efficient-Liquidity program is very strong.
However — we’re intentionally taking a slow and controlled rollout approach.
Even though the demand is there, the DeFi team wants to ensure that we:
Validate stability
Confirm optimal performance
Monitor rewards distribution
Minimize early risk
So here’s the plan:
- Week 1: cap the program under $1M
- Gradually scale liquidity week-by-week
- Expand caps and add more iAssets as the system proves stable
- Growth could become exponential over time
For example — 10 weeks after launch, the cap won’t necessarily be $10M — it could be $50M+ , depending on adoption and performance.
The key point:
We’re starting small on purpose , but the potential upside is massive once everything is validated. The groups we’re working with are prepared to move substantial liquidity into the network as we scale.
Question 9: Happy
“I want to ask the Supra team, has there been any token burns since the Supra token was launched on the market? If so, can I have the wallet address so I can check it myself?”
Answer:
Yes. The network is currently engaging in ongoing $SUPRA token burns.
Every single transaction on the network — whether it’s a transfer, automation trigger, or smart contract interaction — includes a small gas fee where a portion is automatically burned, but these tokens do not go to a specific wallet. Instead, the burning happens automatically inside the system itself. As with other networks, this permanently removes those tokens from circulation.
We are in the process of creating a token dashboard that will allow everyone to track these burns more closely.
Right now, the gas cost is extremely low because we prioritized accessibility and network usage during the early growth phase. As activity increases and the ecosystem matures, we plan to adjust gas fees upward, which will increase the amount of SUPRA being burned over time.
We will soon hold a community vote to determine the updated gas parameter — ensuring the adjustment is aligned with what the network and community believe is healthiest long-term.
Burning vs. “Freezing” (future model)
We’re also exploring a model where tokens removed from circulation are “frozen” for a set period (e.g., 3 years). While frozen, they have the same supply-reducing effect as a burn — but later can be directed to the decentralized treasury to help fuel future ecosystem growth. This provides deflation now, while also supporting long-term sustainability.
Summary:
- Burns are already happening automatically on every transaction
- More burning expected as gas fees normalize
- Community governance will help determine next burn-rate adjustments
That’s a wrap for Community Q&A, Volume 2!
Big thanks to everyone who dropped questions - keep ‘em coming, we’ll continue doing this every month.
