The amount that each OSMO address is eligible to receive is proportional to the square root of its ATOM balance at that time, with a special 2.5x multiplier for staked ATOMs. The quadratic fairdrop ensures that all members of the Cosmos Hub are given an opportunity to participate in Osmosis, particularly those that helped the secure the network through staking. The fairdrop allocation can be viewed [here](https://airdrop.osmosis.zone/). ## Strategic Reserve The other half of the genesis supply is set aside for the strategic reserve. Funds in the strategic reserve will be controlled by a multi-sig DAO, initially composed of the development team but later expanded in the future. The reserve will be used for aligning long-term stakeholders of the project through grants and strategic fundraising. These funds will not be market sold, but rather used to support Osmosis on-going development. Funds may also be delegated to stakeholders who provide uniquely beneficial value to Osmosis, such as open source resources for the ecosystem like block explorers and relayers. Strategic fundraising rounds will be subject to vesting periods: specifically, a linear decrease over two years with a one-year cliff. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://osmosis.gitbook.io/o/osmo/genesis-supply.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
