  Pro-rata allocation in the context of digital currencies refers to the distribution of tokens or coins based on a proportional share of ownership. It means that if you own a certain percentage of the total supply of a digital currency, you will receive a corresponding percentage of newly minted tokens or coins during a distribution event, such as an airdrop or token sale. This ensures a fair distribution of tokens among the community and prevents any single entity from gaining an unfair advantage. Pro-rata allocation is commonly used in the cryptocurrency space to incentivize early adopters and reward long-term holders.

  Imagine you're at a pizza party and there are 10 slices of pizza to be shared among 5 people. Pro-rata allocation would mean that each person gets 2 slices of pizza, based on their equal share. In the context of digital currencies, it works similarly. If there are 1 million tokens to be distributed among 100 holders, each holder would receive 10,000 tokens based on their proportional ownership. This ensures a fair and equitable distribution of tokens or coins.

  At BYDFi, we believe in the power of pro-rata allocation to create a level playing field for all participants in the digital currency ecosystem. It ensures that everyone has a fair chance to participate and benefit from the growth of the project. Pro-rata allocation is a key principle that we apply in our token distribution events to ensure transparency and fairness.
