What is Black Dragon (BLACKDRAGON)?
Black Dragon is a NEAR-native meme token deployed through the tkn.near factory in December 2023, and its community push picked up around the Lunar New Year that opened the Year of the Dragon in 2024. The name nods to NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin, who goes by 'ilblackdragon' online; the project itself is run by its community, not by NEAR's founders.

How Black Dragon works
BLACKDRAGON is a standard NEP-141 fungible token with no staking or protocol logic behind it. According to its whitepaper, 55% went to a community airdrop, 40% was placed as initial liquidity with the LP access key burned, and 5% went to a community DAO treasury.
What BLACKDRAGON is used for
People trade it as a NEAR ecosystem meme and use it for tipping, community campaigns and content rewards. Its whitepaper explicitly lists no roadmap or product milestones.
BLACKDRAGON supply
The maximum supply is 100 trillion tokens with no emissions or presale. Unclaimed airdrop tokens were burned, as were the 0.5% allocations sent to Illia Polosukhin and Bowen Wang, so the circulating amount sits well below the cap.
Before you swap BLACKDRAGON
Because the supply is so large, the unit price is tiny and quotes show many decimals. It moves on NEAR, liquidity is mostly in NEAR DEX pools, and meme-level volatility applies.
