A History of Cone Heads & BitCone (CONE) thus far:
2022
On 7th of Jul. the first ever Reddit Avatar Shop launched!
Introducing the Reddit world to the Gen 1 Avatars, including our beloved Cone Head, of the Imagination Station Collection by u/chipperdoodlescomic
The community of Avatar NFT enthusiasts was small but powerful, and growing rapidly each day.
On the 10th of Sep. the FOMO for Cone Heads began, as Cone Head #37 was minted, and the Cone Memes were born.
On the 11th of Sep. the first mention of “BitCone” was unleashed onto the world, as u/crypto_grandma became the first BitCone Maxi
This was also the day of the Rise of the Knoo Vikings, as they attempted to unite to take on the Cones!
On the 12th of Sep. u/Hoppy_Doodle declared via a Comic that the Viking vs. Cone war officially began.
On the 14th of Sep. as a response, u/Chipperdoodlescomic released the first Cone Head Comic!
On the 17th of Sep. 2022 a monumental moment occurred, and the Cone Head NFT sold out from the Reddit Avatar Shop!
With a final mint count of 608 Cone Heads.
On the 19th of Sep. BitCone (CONE) was deployed by u/ecobuddies and announced as an Airdrop for all owners of Cone Head who claimed their Cone Head through Reddit.
608 Billion BitCone were Minted and set as the max supply.
This meant 1,000,000,000 BitCone were claimable for each Cone Head Mint, who claimed them before the Deadline, on the 1 Month Anniversary of Cone Head selling out from the Reddit Avatar Shop. (17th of Oct.)
With the fate of any remaining unclaimed BitCone, was to be determined via a [Conemunity Poll] featuring community suggestions. Turning r/ConeHeads into a “Conemunity DAO”. ( Original Announcement Post)
Also coincidently on this day, u/002timmy released their Cone Head Parody NFT. Distributing them for free for 24 hours.
On the 20th of Sep. the first post about BitCone was made, calling it the gold standard of Avatar related Currencies by u/No_Yesterday8193
On the 4th of Oct. Avatar enthusiasts began to become “woken up” by the Cone.
On the 7th of Oct. over 50% of the BitCones supply had already been claimed by Cone Heads!
On the 11th of Oct. u/dick_slap found themselves in possession of the Fabled Lost BitCone, when they received double the amount of BitCone distributions to their wallet, and asked the Cone Council for guidance.

Too be conetinued…
The BitCone (CONE) Tokenomics:
As there were 608 Cone Heads minted, so were minted 608,000,000,000 BitCone (CONE), with no Mint Function in the token’s Smart Contract.
This means there can never be more than 608 billion (CONE), just like there can never be any more than 608 Cone Head NFT Avatars.
1,000,000,000 BitCone (CONE) were claimable for each Cone Head mint during the Initial Distribution Period. This claim period lasted until the 1 Month Anniversary, to the day Cone Head sold out from the Reddit Avatar Shop (October 17th).
Following this Initial Claim, and several Cone Heads discovering the sub too late, the Conemunity voted to extend the Distribution Period, and give the full 1,000,000,000 BitCones to any unclaimed Cone Heads Mints, who claimed them during the Extended Period.
A Spreadsheet was then released publicly, listing off all the Already Claimed Cone Head Mint #’s.
In total 486 Cone Head mints have been claimed during both Claim Periods.
The [Conemunity Poll #2], results have determined the exact Percentage allocations of the remaining 122,000,000,000 Unclaimed BitCone (CONE). All the variants in the charts are Conemunity member suggestions, taken from the Initial AirDrop Announcement.
There were no initially allocated “/treasury/founders/etc,” funds allocated.
The prevailing Option 4. on the [Conemunity Poll #2] passed, which lead to the following allocation results, which have since been distributed further:
The Initial BitCone (CONE) Tokenomics:
486,000,000,000 BitCone (CONE) were distribute to 486 Cone Head Avatar owners during the Initial & Extended Distributions.
122,000,000,000 BitCone (CONE) were voted to be allocated in the following manner:
- Staking Rewards — (30%) 36,600,000,000 (CONE)
- Gen 1 Hodlers — (30%) 36,600,000,000 (CONE)
- GlowCones — (15%) 18,300,000,000 (CONE) — GlowCones
- Gen 2 (Spooky Season) Hodlers — (10%) 12,200,000,000 (CONE)
- Future Conemunity Events — (10%) 12,200,000,000 (CONE)
- Bucket Heads — (5%) 6,100,000,000 (CONE)
There are no “founder’s BitCone”, the only BitCone (CONE) tokens any of the r/ConeHead Mods received, were for our own Cone Head Avatars, or purchased on the Open Market.
The Conemunity Treasury Fund holds all undistributed BitCone Funds in a 7 Key Multi-sig wallet, that requires 4/7 Signatures to approve a transaction.
1,000,000,000 BitCone (CONE) were also sent to u/jespow, (the Founder and Former CEO of Kraken Exchange) since he joined the Cone Club too.
The eCONEsystem Ahead:
Since its inception, BitCone (CONE) has depended on the r/ConeHeads Conemunity to choose to Embrace it, help guide its path forward, as well as give it Utility and Value.
(The Initial Utility chosen by the Conemunity was Trading BitCone for Avatars, as was seen by the many trades between Coners in the r/ConeHeads & r/avatartrading subReddits)
Here are just a few of the Current Utilities of BitCone (CONE):
The Current Developed Utilties Are:
- FirstMate NFT Marketplace — Utilizing (CONE) for Listings & Bids.
- BitCone Mining — Earn (CONE) for every upvote on Posts within supporting SubReddits.
- Tipping (CONE) — Users can !tip BitCones earned through Mining

The eCONEsystem for BitCone Builders
In order to attract and retain talented individuals and teams within the Conemunity, the BitCone Project believes strongly in rewarding those who conetribute to the evolution and growth of its eCONEsystem!
For these reasons, any Tools, Dapps, Games or Utilities developed by Conemunity members for BitCone (CONE) will retain a perpetual 2.5% Creator Fee on any Revenue or Secondary Sales their project generates.
While also conetributing a portion of the shared revenue towards the Conemunity Owned Liquidity, held in the Multi-Sig Treasury Wallet.
