$MDX on Modulax vs $MDX on Ethereum
The Modulax token ($MDX) exists in two synchronized formats: the native Modulax token on the Modulax Layer-1 chain and the ERC-20 mirror token on Ethereum. These two deployments are carefully aligned to support both early adoption and long-term governance.
"Two networks, one token economy. Modulax ensures accessibility on Ethereum while securing ownership on its native chain."
Native $MDX (Modulax Chain)
Native MDX represents the core of the Modulax ecosystem.
Used for governance and voting in the Modulax DAO
Distributed as rewards for validators and staking participants
Required for paying gas fees and onchain transactions
Grants access to native modules like the Quantum Vault and Launchpad

ERC-20 $MDX (Ethereum)
The ERC-20 version of MDX serves as a fundraising and liquidity layer on Ethereum. It allows Modulax to bootstrap community adoption while native infrastructure (DEX and bridge) matures.
Accessible to the Ethereum user base
Used for early fundraising and operational liquidity
Distributed for community airdrops and incentives
Designed to be swapped 1:1 into native MDX once the Modulax bridge is live

Conclusion
Native MDX is the final home for governance and rewards, while ERC-20 MDX is a temporary accessibility layer. Together they create a smooth path for onboarding users today while securing long-term ownership on Modulax.
"Holding ERC-20 MDX is a passport into the Modulax economy, but the true utility of MDX always lives natively on-chain."
