Token Distribution and Allocation Strategies

Balanced distribution strategies align incentives, foster trust, and ensure ecosystem stability. Key considerations include:

  • Transparent communication of token allocation to stakeholders.

  • Fairness across allocations to founders, investors, advisors, community, and operational reserves.

  • Alignment of allocations with long-term goals, avoiding excessive short-term incentives.

Clear Allocation Guidelines:

  • Team Allocation: Should be between 10% and 15%; do not exceed 15%. Lower allocations enhance community and investor trust, reducing insider influence risks.

  • Liquidity Allocation: Always allocate at least 5% to liquidity—this is the absolute minimum. Ideally, allocate 10% (good) to 15% (great). If liquidity is initially low, establish a rewards program specifically incentivizing liquidity providers or yield farmers.

  • Investor Allocations (Pre-TGE): Do not allocate more than 30% of the total token supply to pre-TGE investors to preserve community confidence. Preferably, allocations between 10-20% leave room for more strategic allocations and community-focused incentives.

  • Treasury Allocation: Allocate at least 10% to treasury funds, ensuring project sustainability. Avoid allocating more than 20%, as excessive treasury allocations can negatively impact community perception.

  • Rewards Program: Having a robust rewards program is highly beneficial for ecosystem engagement and token sustainability. Further guidelines on structuring effective rewards programs will be provided in future sections.
