We are releasing the $LION governance token in Q1 2022. 30% will be airdropped to Lion holders and Founding NFT holders.
The Executive Board
As part of our efforts around progressive decentralization, we felt that the time is right to bring the community into decision making about the future of the Lion Club.
We’ve got a magnificent community, full of amazing members with tonnes of ideas and skills and we want to utilise it!
The Lion Club Executive Board will meet monthly. It will decide on subjects such as the roadmap, what topics get voted on by the community, reporting back to the community and general governance subjects. It will comprise of 5 members including a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary. These roles will be decided by a simple majority vote by members of the committee.
The first election to the board will be done via direct application. You can apply here to be on the committee. The first Executive Board will have a 12-month term from 1st March 2022 to 1st March 2023.
The second election of the board will take place via voting using the $LION governance token. This board will sit for a year from 1st March 2023 to 1st March 2024 where a new election will take place for another yearly term.
The $LION governance token.
$LION tokens will be airdropped to all Lion Club members and Founding NFT holders in Q1 2022.
The tokenomics are as follows:
There will be 30 million $LION tokens
Team 20%
Airdrop 30%
Future community contributions 10%

We’ve studied the best in class governance tokenomics and gone one step further. The community will eventually own or govern directly 80% of the $LION token making this project truly decentralized!
In terms of the airdrop the 9 million $LION will be divided like so:
8.1 million tokens for normal lions and Founding NFT holders
