InLeo 2.0 HERE NOW!

InLeo has accelerated its long term vision and launched LEO 2.0 which is a transformative upgrade to its ecosystem originally scheduled for 2034. But the team has decided to relaunch caps LEO’s total supply at 30 million tokens down from the initially planned 50 million, establishing an entirely deflationary model for the token. With zero inflation, no VC backing and no team stake LEO continues to champion a fair launch ethos, with rewards driven entirely by platform revenues.

LEO’s evolution over the past six years from a social media token to a cross chain Decentralised Finance (DeFi) The need for utility prompted a change in strategy. The team's development focus has shifted to LeoDex, now the leading asset of the ecosystem and LeoKit, an SDK that will allow any app to integrate seamless token swaps. LEO 2.0 accelerates this roadmap now positioning LEO at the centre of cross chain liquidity, protocol revenue and daily staking rewards.

Let's Take a Look at the changes

Max Supply: 30,000,000 (fixed)

Inflation: 0% (permanently disabled)

Emissions: None—no new tokens will ever be created

Bridges: LEO spans across Arbitrum (native), BSC (bLEO), Polygon (pLEO), and Hive (heLEO)

Exchanges: Listed on Maya, Hive-Engine, PancakeSwap, SushiSwap

The LEO token is now deflationary, with all bridge transaction fees (1–5%) burning tokens on Arbitrum. This includes arbitrage movements across chains, making LEO one of the few tokens with a built-in sink for excess supply driven by market activity.

Buy Backs

For the first 90 days post launch (June 25 – September 23, 2025) 100% of LeoDex affiliate revenue from integrations like THORChain, Maya and ChainFlip will be used to buy back LEO and stake it as sLEO. This “Protocol Owned LEO” vault earns daily USDC rewards, which it reuses to buy more LEO, stake again and repeat the cycle creating a perpetual buyback engine.

After September LeoDex affiliate revenue will continue to be distributed daily to sLEO stakers, making holding and staking LEO on Arbitrum highly rewarding.

Air Drops

Users can stake LEO via LeoDex, earning daily USDC payouts based on affiliate protocol volumes. Additionally, a 2 million LEO airdrop will reward swappers on LeoDex from June 25 through September 23 incentivizing early adoption of the DEX.

INLEO remains a core platform allowing users to earn LEO, HIVE and HBD by posting and curating content. But unlike in the past, LEO rewards now come from buybacks not inflation. Funded by creator subscriptions, ad revenue, premium memberships and optional reward beneficiaries, the System Income Rewards Pool (SIRP) replaces the old inflationary model.

Delegators to @leo.voter continue earning LEO, now from buybacks funded by HIVE curation rewards. With LEO deflationary and HIVE still inflationary, delegating to @leo.voter could yield higher APRs than ever before, exceeding the historical 16% benchmark.
