Libre is governed by the $LIBRE coin which is fairly launched, similar to Bitcoin. Libre has no pre-mine of any kind. There are no team coins, investor coins, or other pre-allocated coins.

LIBRE is the native coin that enables the Libre Chain protocol rules. Network participants can stake LIBRE enact governance, receive them as mining rewards, and earn them for providing liquidity. Specifically, LIBRE serves three functions:
Governance - voting in Libre DAO to govern the AMM and chain protocol settings.
Validator Elections - each wallet can choose 1 validator, votes decay over time so as your staking period nears its end, your voting power will weaken.
Staking - staking LIBRE for governance pays a yield which is higher the earlier you stake and the longer you stake.

The initial liquidity pool will be on LIBRE in the swap.libre AMM contract and it will be LIBRE/BTC - 100% of the BTC raised in the mint rush will go to the AMM. This AMM liquidity pool is proportionately owned by accounts that provide liquidity. Those accounts can earn fees from trades, earn liquidity farming rewards, and vote on the swap fee rate for each pool.

LIBRE will be distributed widely and fairly through the Mint Rush. The circulating supply of LIBRE will be ~323M LIBRE. We have taken inspiration from the “fair launch” concept described by Hasu and Arjun Balaji in their Medium article.

LIBRE works with various wallets including Bitcoin Libre, Anchor, and cleos. You can take advantage of the full range of LIBRE features - including staking yields on any of these non-custodial wallets.

LIBRE yields are based on 2 criteria - the days since launch that you stake, and the length of your stake. Therefore, the earlier you stake and the longer you stake, the higher your yield will be. Just like Bitcoin block rewards decline over time, the yield rate for stakes declines daily.

Libre validators earn 4 LIBRE per block they mine. This goes down to 2 LIBRE on Jan 4 2023, and
then 1 LIBRE on July 5 2023. Blocks are mined every 0.5 second and each of the top 21 validators rotates in every ~2 minutes for 12 blocks. The value of 1 LIBRE will be known on Dec 15, 2022 at the end of the Mint Rush.
