Tokenomics
The short version: 47 billion MARS burned, about 270 million airdropped, and the rest mined. Every step below links to the transaction or address on the Mars Credit explorer so you can check it yourself.
1. Genesis allocation
The genesis block allocated 47,304,000,000 MARS to a single address. We say this plainly rather than claim “no premine”: there was a genesis allocation, and almost all of it was destroyed.
2. The burn: 47,000,000,000 MARS
On 2024-07-09, 47,000,000,000 MARS was sent from 0xD2160291…04535A to the burn address 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD, which has no known private key. Those coins can never move again.

3. Community airdrop: ~270,000,000 MARS
The treasury address 0x6039E53688Da87EBF30B0C84d22FCd6707b0C564 received 281,450,000 MARS and distributed roughly ~270,000,000 MARS to the community by airdrop. The treasury has since been drawn down to a near-zero balance; its full history is public on the explorer.
4. Everything else is mined
All other MARS enters circulation through Proof-of-Work block rewards of 2 MARS per block. Mining is solo only: run a node and mine directly with the open-source client on GitHub.
