Choosing to use these features will unlock tokens at a 1:2 ratio. This means for every 1 token used on the platform, 2 tokens will be unlocked entirely and can be withdrawn or traded. Any remaining unutilized tokens will unlock over an 8 month period at a rate of 12.5%.
Multi-chain by design
CHA tokens will be available on Ethereum, BSC, MATIC, and TRON chains. When purchasing the tokens, you can choose on which blockchain your CHA tokens are to be deployed. In the near future, Chains will offer a swapping mechanism between the supported blockchains.
