750 million $GNOT distributed through airdrops for $ATOM holders and stakers on 05/20/2022 (see snapshot here). A larger ratio will be given to those who voted NO and NO WITH VETO on Cosmos Hub Proposal #69 and YES and YES WITH VETO (see Peace Declaration) in different proportions. Gnoland adopts a new language called Gnolang, which is a fork of Golang. Golang has clear advantages over other languages ​​when dealing with concurrency. While most programming languages ​​like C++ or Java use multithreading to run concurrent programs, Go uses Goroutines. The most commonly used languages ​​in the current blockchain development environment are Solidity for EVM-compatible networks and Rust for Solana and Cosmos SDK networks; both Solidity and Rust are inspired by C++. While the above are excellent languages, Gnolang inherits Golang's faster compilation speed, cleaner syntax, and resource-efficient concurrency. In the near future, we will have a faster and more efficient smart contract development platform. The point of the governance token is to be staked on the Network for the security of the blockchain. What’s ironic about a single token model is that the more traction a blockchain gets, the more tokens are likely to get unstaked to be used as gas fees, which leads to a decrease of the security of the Network. Having a dual token model addresses this issue. A fixed-constant-inflationary fee token that’s solely dedicated to fueling the contracts of the blockchain will allow users to hold the token in a wallet for future usages without worrying about the value of tokens getting inflated away.
