In 2020, a community vote (PLIP) led to the allocation of 1 million PLU (5% of the total supply) to the Plutus Development Fund. This was secured in deep cold storage, alongside the Pluton Rewards Pool.
Over the past three years, a fraction of the Plutus Development Fund, equivalent to 250,000 PLU, has been prudently utilised for referrals and marketing.
As of now, the wallet contains the following balances:
Pluton Rewards Pool: 15,149,817 PLU
Plutus Development Fund: 750,000 PLU
— —
Total: 15,899,817 PLU
On August 22nd, 2023, a secure transfer of 250,000 PLU from the Plutus Development Fund will be executed. These tokens will play a pivotal role in fueling strategic marketing initiatives and referrals in conjunction with multiple new partners and customers for company growth, as we transition to a new bank-like service and expand into the U.S. This transaction will leave the Plutus Development Fund with a remaining balance of 500,000 PLU.
