- 15% (211.5M OCEAN) - to Ocean community (grants, more) and foundation operations.

OCEAN Token Design
The system-level design of the OCEAN token is based on The Web3 Sustainability Loop, a general design pattern. The Ocean-specific version of this design is described in section (7) of that same article.
This design gives flexibility to adapt the Ocean products for traction and growth. The flexibility is due to the goal to "drive network revenue", subject to the constraints of the mission & values of Ocean Protocol.
