++ Contributor Tokens +
++ Tokens distributed to early contributors of the protocol are unlocked and not on a vesting schedule. +
++ The MNGO token in its inception will serve 3 primary purposes. +
++ The Mango protocol relies on lenders to provide capital for + the others to use for trading and borrowing. The capital in + the Insurance Fund will be used to compensate lenders in the + unlikely event they incur losses. +
++ MNGO tokens represent a direct stake in the Mango DAO. The + future direction of the Mango Protocol will be decided by + voting on proposals using MNGO tokens as the voting + mechanism. +
++ Bootstraping liquidity is important in a new trading system. + Incentivising market makers and other liquidity providers + with MNGO tokens will benefit the protocol and its + participants. +
++ Mango DAO +
++ 80% of MNGO tokens will be locked in a smart contract, + only accessible via DAO governance votes. +
++ Liquidity incentives +
++ 10% will be used to incentivize market makers and + liquidity providers to be active in the system. +
++ Insurance Fund +
++ 5% of MNGO tokens will be used to capitalize the Insurance + Fund that will protect lenders in the Mango Protocol. +
++ Team/contributor tokens +
++ 5% will be distributed to the team and early contributors. + These tokens are unlocked. +
