# eOCX (Pre-Mining Token)

During the initial pre-mining phase, eOCX (Early OCX) tokens were introduced as rewards for providing liquidity. With the Ocelex TGE now complete, eOCX holders have two redemption options designed to foster alignment with Ocelex’s long-term growth while offering flexibility to liquidity providers.

### Redemption Options eOCX Breakdown

#### Balanced Redemption Strategy

Redeem your eOCX with a 50/50 split:

* 50% in oOCX: Receive \~0.25 oOCX per eOCX.
* 50% in veOCX: Receive \~0.25 veOCX (max-locked for 2 years) per eOCX.

Effective Total Value: \~0.5 OCX per eOCX.

\
**Example:** Redeeming 10,000 eOCX

*  \~2,500 oOCX
*  \~2,500 veOCX (max-locked)

Total: \~5,000 OCX (\~0.50 OCX/eOCX).

{% hint style="info" %}
This option balances liquidity and long-term alignment, making it ideal for users seeking both flexibility and governance participation.
{% endhint %}

#### Max Rewards Strategy

Convert your entire eOCX allocation into veOCX at a 1:1 ratio:

* 1 eOCX = 1 veOCX (max-locked for 2 years)

Effective Total Value: \~1 OCX per eOCX.

**Example:** Redeeming 10,000 eOCX

• 10,000 veOCX (max-locked)

{% hint style="success" %}
This option maximizes potential rewards but requires a full commitment to long-term alignment with Ocelex’s vision.
{% endhint %}

### Key Considerations

* Market Dependency: The value of oOCX and veOCX is tied to the OCX market price at the time of redemption.

Flexibility vs. Maximum Value:

* Option 1: Provides a balance between liquid oOCX and locked veOCX, offering both flexibility and governance participation.
* Option 2: Yields the highest potential value by locking all tokens for 2 years, fostering stronger alignment with the protocol’s long-term goals.

### Why Choose veOCX?

Holders of veOCX become active participants in Ocelex governance, enabling them to vote on emissions and gauge distributions while earning rewards from trading fees and external incentives. Additionally, converting all eOCX into veOCX under the Max Rewards Strategy includes a bonus, further encouraging deeper engagement with Ocelex’s ecosystem.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ocelex.gitbook.io/ocelex/tokenomics/tokens/eocx-pre-mining-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
