Transparency Report

In line with the last report, we would like to present an updated overview of the assets and use of funds for the Nimiq project, as well as updated details of the distribution of NIM tokens with circulating and total supply. The period covered since the last report is August 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The report indicates a significant reduction in expenses and burn-rate due to reduced operational overhead (not a reduction in team size).

Just the current circulating NIM supply: http://nim.sh/stats/supply/circulating/nim.txt

The total final NIM supply in ~100 years by design of the Nimiq Blockchain protocol: 21'000'000'000 NIM

Details

NIM activated from Token Sale NET (5% of final total): As of June 30 2019, 845’097’617 NIM have been activated from NET and are part of the circulating supply. The remaining difference (~204'902'383 NIM) that has not been activated from NET is visible at account addresses NQ69 9A4A MB83 HXDQ 4J46 BH5R 4JFF QMA9 C3GN and NQ15 MLJN 23YB 8FBM 61TN 7LYG 2212 LVBG 4V19. Though the deadline for activating NIM has long passed, Nimiq is processing requests on a case by case, manual basis (applying the same conditions of KYC/AML). Being conservative, Nimiq considers them part of the circulating supply.

All other NIM are either acquired through mining or released through a vesting contract (all vesting durations are measured from April 14 2018).

NIM minable (88% of final total): 18'480'000'000 NIM over ~100 years. As of the end of June (~12.3% of final total): 2’593’189’595 NIM, part of circulating supply. The live amount is available here: http://nim.sh/stats/supply/mined/nim.txt
