title: NAM genesis balances - Namada community questions/concerns for Anoma Foundation

## Part 2 - Aug 9


## Part 1 - Aug 2
General sentiment: While we are wary of all tokens being unlocked, it would help to better understand the plans and commitments for the different proposed categories of tokens.

Synthesis of questions and concerns discussed in Namada community Discord, [hot topic found here](https://discord.com/channels/833618405537218590/1267560102463012875)

1. **Distribution and control**
    Can you please break out the [allocation categories](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_rNuuQSmVV3afVwAm2hVWu4kqLIRVTzcO_ammgs9Hp0/edit?gid=0#gid=0) more granularly with more specific quantities so that it's more clear how much of the Namada genesis token supply different stakeholders will control?
        **a)** Early Core Contributors - eg. how much is Heliax getting from this? Knowable & Luminara?
        **b)** Protocol maintenance, R&D, ecosystem.. etc - how much is Heliax and Anoma Foundation getting? Knowable & Luminara?
        **c)** Public allocations (future RPGF programs) - what is the division between Anoma Foundation and Luminara

2. **NAM liquidity**
    a) What is the purpose of proposing that all NAM be liquid at launch? Why propose to completely unlock Namada tokens for Anoma backers if the agreement is to lock their Anoma tokens? [this comment](https://discord.com/channels/833618405537218590/1267560102463012875/1267560102463012875) has some context as well as this image![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BkXsOzFtC.png)

    b) Can you tell us the amount from the proposed genesis balance and category that will be used to establish NAM markets (ie. liquidity to help meet the supply and demand for NAM)?

        
3. **Alignment**
    a) We're getting the impression that maybe Anoma is what the backers have supported, and Namada is some sort of oddly defined side-project that's extraneous to Anoma backers. How are Namada and Anoma related and how do you see them being aligned? (There are some dated articles about how they are related, see msg [here](https://discord.com/channels/833618405537218590/1267560102463012875/1268263442977132625))![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJr3wfOF0.png)
    b) How will does ongoing Anoma Foundation raise relate to this proposal?
    c) Can you please outline a plan and timeline for the proposed "Future PFG" and "Ecosystem" categories?![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ry3de7uKR.png)


4.  **PGF allocation**
Why propose to make discrete RPGF allocations when the on-chain mechanism and inflation provide for exactly these purposes? Why not allocate to Namada's on-chain PGF account? ![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rymMY1OK0.png)
