$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."
