Token Distribution Analysis

• Average distribution: 108 BERA ($864)

• Upper Amounts Received: 212 BERA ($1700)

We performed mathematical modeling to estimate an upper-range threshold, using the minimum and average token amounts as inputs for a normal distribution. This represents a theoretical approximation, and actual distribution may deviate from these calculations. We've used price of $8 per token to calculate the dollar value.
