It is expected to release about 50% token in the first year.

Note: This is not a token sale. See[ https://Bluwhale.io/node-disclaimer](https://carv.io/node-disclaimer) for more details.

Bluwhale Foundation is committed to compliance. Participants will receive $veBluwhale instead of receiving native token directly and convert it to $Bluwhale through redemption, then claim the rewards.

Check[ here](https://docs.carv.io/carv-token/utility) for more details about $veBluwhale and $Bluwhale converting.
