Bootstrapping Exosama Network
Newly launched blockchains mainly bootstrap their token economy by seeking external funding in the form of investment rounds or (pre-) sales. It would be the easy way to gather liquidity but it also brings sell pressure from VC's & flippers who don't care about Moonsama's long-term growth, but rather care about short term price movement.
Moonsama chose to walk a different path with the reasoning that its actually the community and not VC's who bring this ecosystem forward. Moonsama has always been community focused which is exactly what made way for the phenomenal growth we have seen over the past year. This is why it was only logical to reward active community members who have been supporting Moonsama throughout the year and want to see it succeed long-term.
"We wanted to create a blockchain and bootstrap its token economy in a fair way, where people would initially earn the native gas/utility token with fun and laughs, simply by playing a game."

POOPENOMICS ON LAUNCH
51% (510 million $POOP/$SAMA) - Pondsama holders/ community
39% (390 million $POOP/$SAMA) - Community Fund
10% (100 million $POOP/$SAMA) - Team Fund
CURRENT POOPENOMICS
55,8% (558 million $POOP/$SAMA) - Community
34,2% (342 million $POOP/$SAMA) - Community Fund
10% (100 million $POOP/$SAMA) - Team Fund
Pondsama holders:
Pondsama holders are mostly OG community members who've participated in Carnage for over a year and by doing so gathered enough resources to craft a Pondsama NFT. Pondsama's are the results of months of hard work inside the Metaverse, mining resources and fighting others for it.
39% (390 million $POOP/$SAMA) was put in the community fund:
The community fund is governed by Moonsama holders and is intended to help the ecosystem forward. Any Moonsama holder can initiate a proposal on how to spend part of the funds. The community fund is here to provide liquidity and support innovation on Exosama Network.
10% (100 million $POOP/$SAMA) was put in the team fund:
The team funds are to be distributed between the Moonsama & Exosama team members. Until now part of the development and bootstrapping has been covered by the Moonsama Marketplace. The rest has been paid by core team members, out of their own pockets. Since the team grew immensely a part of the supply goes to the team (currently 30+ team members).

Community
Moonsama didn't deviate from its community focused path and has allocated 90% of all tokens to the community. Currently 55.8% of all tokens are in direct hands of the community with another 34.2% controlled by the community.
As a way of rewarding active community members Carnage participants are able to refine their POOP inside the Metaverse for SAMA on a 1:1 basis. By doing so players are rewarded with extra rewards in the form of Blood Crystals, DNA & Mobidium.
Receive 1 Blood Crystal, 1 DNA & 1 Mobidium per 10 refined POOP.
All 3 are tradable assets and will be important in the crafting of future Samaverse NFTs.
Mobidium: Will be used to mechanize Pondsama fish NFT and change their statistics.
Blood Crystals: Will be to infect Pondsama fish NFT and change their statistics.
DNA: Unclear but hinted at being used for Petsama (NFT pets)
Note that you're only eligible for extra rewards when POOP is refined during Carnage. While migrating through use of the Multiverse portal you will not be eligible for any extra rewards. Even though EXN is now live the migrating through the Portal will still be possible for now.
