# Why does $RDEX have almost half of its tokens in one address, and does this pose a risk?

Orders.Exchange, in order to implement liquidity rewards, had to mint all of Orders.Exchange's RDEX tokens upfront and then distribute them according to Orders.Exchange's token allocation rules and guidelines. 

This approach, though slightly different from the decentralized ethos typically associated with BRC20 tokens, is a measure Orders.Exchange has taken to maintain transparency and credibility. 

Orders.Exchange has publicly disclosed all relevant address information on [here](/orders/tokenomics/usdrdex.md#distribution). 

Despite deviating from the conventional practices of BRC20, Orders.Exchange's method still upholds the core values of the ecosystem — trust and fairness.
