Vesting Schedules

Presale Vesting

Structure: NO VESTING - 100% at TGE

All presale participants receive 100% of their tokens immediately at Token Generation Event with no lock-up period.

Example:

Total Allocation: 100,000 tokens
TGE (100%): 100,000 tokens (fully unlocked)

Angel Vesting

Structure: 5% TGE + 3-month cliff + 18-month linear (21 months total)

Example:

Total Allocation: 1,000,000 tokens
TGE (5%): 50,000 tokens
Cliff (Months 1-3): 50,000 tokens
Month 12: 50,000 + (52,778 × 9) = 525,000 tokens
Month 21: 1,000,000 tokens (fully vested)

VC Vesting

Structure: 0-5% TGE + 6-month cliff + 24-month linear (30 months total)

Example (with 5% TGE):

Total Allocation: 8,333,333 tokens
TGE (5%): 416,667 tokens
Cliff (Months 1-6): 416,667 tokens
Month 12: 416,667 + (329,861 × 6) = 2,396,667 tokens
Month 30: 8,333,333 tokens (fully vested)

Team Vesting

Structure: 12-month cliff, then linear vesting over 36 months

Example:

Total Allocation: 1,000,000 tokens
Months 0-12: 0 tokens (cliff)
Month 24: 1,000,000 × (24-12)/36 = 333,333 tokens
Month 48: 1,000,000 tokens (fully vested)

Note: Presale has NO vesting - all 70M tokens are circulating at TGE. Actual circulating supply depends on staking, burns, and lock-ups.

Circulating Supply Formula

Circulatingmonth=∑category(TGEcategory+Vestedcategory,month)Circulating_{month} = \sum_{category} (TGE_{category} + Vested_{category,month})Circulatingmonth=∑category(TGEcategory+Vestedcategory,month)

Token Economics

Supply Control Formula

Buyback & Burn: 20% of quarterly net profits

Burnt=min(0.20×NPtPavg_t,Circulatingt)Burn_t = min(0.20 \times \frac{NP_t}{P_{avg_t}}, Circulating_t)Burnt=min(0.20×Pavg_tNPt,Circulatingt)

Where:

NP_t = quarterly net profit
P_avg_t = VWAP during buyback window

Burns continue until total supply reaches 100,000,000, then funds redirect to treasury buffer or ecosystem grants.

Demand Drivers

1. Trading Fee Discounts

Estimated Annual Demand: 20M tokens
Based on volume and discount tiers

2. Staking Rewards

Target Staking Rate: 30-40%
Reduces Circulating Supply significantly

3. Governance Participation

Active governance: 10M tokens locked

4. IEO/Launchpad Access

Periodic demand spikes
