Billions Network (BILL) is the token of an identity network for humans and AI agents, and its mid-October 2026 close was 96.73% under its May 2026 record close. The network grew out of Polygon ID and uses zero-knowledge proofs to show that a person is real and unique without revealing who they are.
BILL drew a burst of searches in mid-October 2026 while it kept printing record lows. Nine of October's first 17 daily closes set a new floor, the last five in a row. Across those five closes it shed 34.49%, against a 0.43% slip for Bitcoin on Phemex. The date to watch on chain is the end of a 180-day staking lock in late October 2026.

What Is Billions Network?
Billions Network is a crypto identity project that gives people and the AI agents acting for them a verifiable identity without handing over the personal data behind it. Its developer docs describe it as "a network for humans and AI agents, powered by privacy-preserving identity and zero-knowledge technology."
The team has built identity software since 2019, and its homepage traces a single lineage from Polygon ID to Privado ID to Billions. In the project's telling, the same people moved from identity tools for global banks to commerce tools for AI agents.
Each person keeps credentials in a self-custody wallet and shows a service only the proof it asks for. That design follows what decentralized identity is, stretched to cover AI agents as well as people.
The homepage claims "2.5M+ verified users" and 25K+ verified agents, which are the project's own counts. Its roadmap puts the network in a second phase, meant to let verified agents buy and pay for the people they belong to.
Why Is Billions Network Trending in October 2026?
BILL showed up on CoinMarketCap's most-searched list in mid-October 2026, in the middle of a slide that kept finding new floors. The token set its record close of $0.2077 on 14 May 2026, ten days after launch. By the mid-October close it had fallen to $0.006794.
Method: the record lows come from all 167 of CoinMarketCap's daily closes for BILL, from the 4 May 2026 launch to the mid-October close, with a running minimum. CoinGecko's daily series, shifted one day so each point is a close, marks the same nine dates and the same $0.006794 close.
Four of those record lows landed in early October and five came back to back in mid-October. Larger tokens on Phemex barely moved across the same five daily closes, and the two closest relatives fell a fraction as far.
Market | Change across the same five daily closes |
BILL (CMC daily closes) | -34.49% |
Bitcoin, Phemex perpetual | -0.43% |
Ether, Phemex perpetual | -1.81% |
POL (Polygon), Phemex perpetual | -6.09% |
WLD (Worldcoin), Phemex perpetual | -1.36% |
POL carries the Polygon name from BILL's own lineage, and WLD belongs to another identity project. The drop was BILL's own.
Billions' homepage, blog index and tokenomics page gave no dated reason for the drop. Through mid-October 2026 the blog index listed three October posts, all about AI agents. The homepage and the tokenomics page carried no notice of an unlock or a supply change either.
Is Billions Network Legit?
What a buyer can check about Billions Network matches the project's own documents. The Ethereum contract returns the name Billions Network Token, the ticker BILL and a total supply of exactly 10 billion, the fixed figure the tokenomics page gives.
The contract is upgradeable, so its code can change. Its admin answers to a timelock that holds any upgrade for at least 48 hours, giving holders two days of public notice on chain.
The company blog names Evin McMullen as CEO. The about page says the Polygon ID and Privado ID lineage was "trusted by global banks like Sony Bank and HSBC" for private, automated KYC. That bank line is the project's claim about itself.
The project's Spanish-language change memo, written under the EU's MiCA rules, moves the token's issuer from ZKID Labs AG to Billions Limited of the British Virgin Islands.
How Does Billions Network Work?
Verification starts with a one-time face scan in the Billions Wallet. The wallet turns that scan into a Proof of Uniqueness credential. When a service asks a question, the wallet answers with a proof that confirms the fact and hides the data, which is what a zero-knowledge proof is for.
An Identity Verifier contract on the Billions chain checks each proof and lets one verified human hold exactly one on-chain identity. That rule is the network's answer to fake-account floods, and it borrows the logic of how blockchains prevent Sybil attacks.
Agents get the same treatment, starting with an identifier each agent derives from its own key pair. The agent sends its owner a link to approve the pairing. Once the owner signs off in the wallet, an Attestation Registry contract writes a permanent public record tying the two. The developer docs map that flow step by step.
That public record is the product Billions offers to teams building AI agents in crypto. Its x402 Human Proof add-on lets an API charge verified humans and their agents less than anonymous traffic, or block unverified traffic outright.
BILL's role, per the tokenomics page, is to pay credential fees at a 10-15% discount and to be staked as a credibility signal. Governance and agent collateral are listed as future uses.
BILL Tokenomics
BILL has a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens and zero inflation, per the tokenomics page, which puts the launch float at about 24.28% of supply.
The split below comes from the project's change memo to its white paper, translated from the Spanish.
Allocation | Share of supply | Release schedule (memo, translated) |
Community | 40% | Over four years, heaviest in the first two |
Foundation | 32% | 16% at launch, 16% vesting from year two to year four |
Team | 20% | One-year cliff, then three years linear |
Investors | 6% | Not set out in the memo |
Creators | 2% | Creator programmes, on the white paper's terms |
The Foundation's launch half is earmarked, in the memo's words, "to cover operational needs and liquidity provision" (our translation from the Spanish). Team tokens wait out a one-year cliff before three years of linear release, the standard pattern of crypto vesting and cliffs. The memo also deleted the earlier white paper's buyback references, so buybacks are no longer part of the token's design.
CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko both put BILL's circulating supply at about 2.43 billion in mid-October 2026, the size of the launch float. CMC carried that count on every daily bar from launch to the mid-October close, which put BILL's market value at about $16.5 million on that bar.
Staking runs on the Billions chain, where the staking contract opened with a 180-day initial lock from the May 2026 launch. Until that lock ends in late October 2026, the contract rejects withdrawals with the message "Withdraw not allowed during initial lock period".
The contract held 82.74 million staked BILL in mid-October 2026, or 0.83% of the 10 billion total, and its balance made up 99.9993% of all the BILL bridged to that chain.
How to Buy BILL Safely
Start from the Ethereum contract at 0xb1110919016846972056ab995054d65560d5f05e, BILL's canonical token, which returns the name Billions Network Token and a 10 billion supply. Check it on a block explorer you trust before you swap, and never take an address from a reply or a direct message.
Count bridged BILL as part of the same 10 billion supply, never as extra tokens. In mid-October 2026, copies held about 174.9 million BILL on BNB Chain and 3.8 million on Mantle, plus 83.35 million on the Billions chain. Check any copy's contract as closely as the original.
Check the name before you swap, since BILL Holdings is a US fintech stock that trades under the same ticker. Billy (BILLY) is an unrelated memecoin, and the Billions TV series has nothing to do with the token.
Expect a thin market, because CMC recorded $4.39 million of BILL trading on its mid-October daily bar and a large order can move the price against you.
Know that Phemex no longer lists BILL in any form. It listed a BILL perpetual and a BILL/USDT spot pair in early May 2026. Perpetual trading closed in late August 2026, and the spot pair came off in early September 2026, when BILL deposits and withdrawals on Phemex ended too.
Phemex's spot notice routes any later BILL withdrawal request to its support team, and what happens when a coin is delisted covers the wider process. Phemex's futures market covers other tokens, Bitcoin and Ether among them. Futures use leverage, and a leveraged position is closed automatically if losses reach its margin.
What Are the Risks of Billions Network?
A Staking Lock Ending After Record Lows
The staking contract's initial lock runs out in late October 2026, after a run of record-low closes through mid-October. Priced at the mid-October close, the staked BILL was worth about $562,000, or about 13% of the $4.39 million that CMC recorded as traded on that bar. The end of a lock frees the stake to move and says nothing about what its owners will do.
An Upgradeable Contract
BILL's Ethereum contract can be upgraded, and holders rely on the 48-hour timelock to see a change coming. Two days is short notice for anyone who isn't watching the chain.
Emissions the Trackers Don't Count
The memo releases the Community's 40% over four years, heaviest in the first two. A circulating count frozen at the launch float can't show those releases, so the trackers' market value for BILL leaves out whatever has vested since May 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main purpose of Billions Network?
Billions Network gives people and their AI agents verifiable identities. A one-time face scan becomes a zero-knowledge Proof of Uniqueness, and each agent is tied on chain to the human who owns it. Services can then tell real users and accountable agents from bots.
Will Billions Network go back up?
Nothing on chain or in the project's documents points to a price. BILL would have to rise about 30.6-fold from its mid-October 2026 close to match its May 2026 record close. What the chain does show is a staking lock that ends in late October 2026.
What is the Billions Network token unlock schedule?
The change memo puts the Team's 20% behind a one-year cliff and three years of linear vesting. Half the Foundation's 32% came out at launch and the rest vests from year two to year four. The Community's 40% is released over four years, front-loaded.
Where can I buy the Billions Network coin?
Phemex delisted both of its BILL markets, the perpetual in late August 2026 and the spot pair in early September 2026. BILL trades on other venues, so match any token you buy against the Ethereum contract 0xb1110919016846972056ab995054d65560d5f05e or a bridged copy of it.
Bottom Line
Billions Network's identity product and the BILL token are two separate bets. The tokenomics page frames BILL's main job as a fee discount and a staking signal, so the network can add verified users without adding buyers for the token. If you're weighing BILL, you're weighing how much of the network's growth ever reaches the token, against the 10 billion supply on chain.
