Marking a “critical first step towards decentralization for the Omni Network,” the platform launched the OMNI token. In an official blog, Omni Network announced the Genesis staking program, stating, “Genesis stakers will earn 6% APY and be eligible to receive partner protocol airdrop distributions that are sent to the Omni Foundation.”

Subsequent to the airdrop, the token plummeted by more than 30%, from $53.80 to below $39. In the following hours, the token experienced further dips, slipping to severe lows of over 55%.
At present, OMNI is trading at $23.71, marking a loss of 55.9% in the last 24 hours. The token boasts a market cap of $246,382,326 and a 24-hour trading volume of $736,483,444.
On April 15, Omni Network revealed that 9.27 million OMNI, which represents 9.27% of the total supply, is set aside for public launch for “launch pool and liquidity.” In addition, 29,500,000 tokens (29.5%) are reserved for ecosystem development. For community growth, investors, and advisors, the platform owes a distribution of 12,666,667, 20,063,333, and 3,250,000 tokens respectively.
