Asentuma next-generation Layer 1 blockchain built from the ground up with post-quantum security, today announced the official launch of its native token presale for $ASE. The pre-sale should begin on May 4 at 4:00 p.m. CETmarking a key milestone in the network’s transition from active testnet development to the mainnet.
Unlike many blockchain projects that introduce tokens before the basic infrastructure is up and running, Asentum enters its pre-sale phase with a network up and running. The public testnet is currently producing blocks, with validation systems, on-chain governance, and operator tools already deployed and actively tested.
The $ASE token is designed as the fundamental unit of the Asentum network, serving three primary functions: transaction execution (gas), consensus security through staking, and participation in governance. The protocol incorporates a fixed supply of 1 billion ASE, applied at the chain level, as well as a fee model in which base transaction fees are burned, directly linking token demand to network activity.
“From the beginning, the focus was on building a system that works in real-world conditions,” the Asentum team said. “The pre-sale is not the starting point: it follows a phase during which the essential components of the network have already been deployed and tested.”
Asentum differentiates itself through three key design decisions: the use of post-quantum cryptography from Genesis, a JavaScript-based smart contract environment accessible to a global developer base, and a validation model optimized for consumer hardware. Together, these choices aim to address long-term security, accessibility, and decentralization at the protocol level.
The pre-sale will include a 10% early bird bonus for the first 24 hours, providing early backers with an enhanced stipend as the network prepares for its next stage of development.
Currently, $ASE exists as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, with a planned 1:1 conversion to native ASE tokens upon mainnet launch. This approach allows early participants to engage with the ecosystem before full network deployment while maintaining a clear transition path to the native chain.
Additional infrastructure, including a browser-based wallet extension and integrated operator app for Windows and macOS, is already available, allowing users to run validators, participate in governance, and monitor network activity in real time.
The $ASE presale represents a continuation of Asentum’s development roadmap rather than a starting point, positioning the project in an early but operational phase of its lifecycle.
