EQ9 was deployed in its issuance with 1 billion 800 millions EQ9 tokens.

Then 78.68% of the total supply is locked in 5 audited time-lock smart contracts, following our allocation plan, which, starts in January 2023

So the total in circulation is 383.832.360 EQ9 tokens

Equals9 was founded in 2019 by Anderson Vasconcelos, who used to be a blockchain market analyst, joined later by Pedro Bufulin, a Graduating Computer Science at the Federal University of Uberlândia, specializing as a full-stack developer, with over 2 years development of smart contracts in EVM networks

Anderson wanted to create a company to help educate the mass public about blockchain, and penetrate large markets, which were not using blockchain to automate their services, and with his financial background, he then created a holding company to act as an incubator of blockchain dapps, aiming at different market, but with sole purpose to create awareness on how to use wallet, tokens and decentralized services

At first, people did not understand, why would a holding be born before its subsidiaries

But then they bought HiveGames and all made sense, tournaments for e-sports started to be tested and EqualsSport concept was born, for Anderson it was clear EqualsSport should be the first dapp to be release since e-sports players would be more keen to try this new technology and its advantages to the e-sport community, he played competitive Magic The Gathering himself for more than 20 years and could grasp, what changes blockchain could bring to e-sport industry that would make a difference

But he did not want to release a token before a working product, so to fund the project, he transformed Equals9 from a Limited Liability Company (LLC) into a Closed Joint Corporation (CJC) in order to sell private share and finish the development

With that important and key shareholders were brought to the company to pay for the development and progress of the overall project

Equals9 has more than 19 shareholders and employs more than 30 staff, it has acquired 5 subsidiaries already, it implemented a Shared Service Center (SSC) for the entire economic group, to create jobs and opportunities.

Not only it will be on the market with a working product and another 3 on the pipeline EQ9 was granted a declaration from the government body D.CVM (the SEC in Brazil) A classification as non-security token

Before private offerings started, Anderson and Equals9 Lawyers decided to start an administrative process to exclude EQ9 token from being a security

After one year and a half and by the collegiate and federal attorneys the legal battle was over and EQ9 was declared as non-security token

Equals9 proactive move, was to protect potential investors and holders, so in the future once the token was on the market, no uncertainties would be raised regarding its status as security or not.

Take a number, multiply by 9, then add the number in the results, it always equals 9

Ex: 3x9= 27, 2+7 = 9

The Fibonacci Golden ratio is found everywhere in nature and its resemblance to the number 9 is magnificent, according to Tesla, "the numbers 3, 6 and 9 holds the key to the universe"

Because example trumps precept, or as Paul Halmos once put it, “the source of all great mathematics is the special case, the concrete example,”

occasion calls for the following brief demonstration.

A circle has 360 degrees

Split the circle in half: 180

The digital root of 180 = 9

Split that in half, you get: 90

The digital root of 90 = 9

Split that in half, you get: 45

The digital root of 45 = 9

22.5 = 2 + 2 + 5 = 9 11.25 = 1 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 9 5.625 = 5 + 6 + 2 + 5 = 18 . . . 1 + 8 = 9 2.8125 = 2 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 18 . . . 1 + 8 = 9 1.40625 = 1 + 4 + 0 + 6 + 2 + 5 =18 . . . 1 + 8 = 9
