Token Distribution
This page talks about the $ZERO tokenomics.
$ZERO Total Supply: 100 Billion.
| Category | Vesting Period | Allocation | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Private Sale | 3 months | 35% | Early funding stage to kickstart the project, crucial for development and initial partnerships. |
Liquidity | 11 months | 10% | Tokens added into a DEX liquidity on launch. |
Team | 48 months | 5% | Tokens held by the team. |
Treasury | 1200 months | 5% | Tokens held by ZERO holders. |
Advisors | 11 months | 7% | Allocation for the experts who guide the protocol's development and governance |
Airdrops and earlyZERO | 3 months | 18% | Promotional tokens to drive adoption and reward the early supporters of ZeroLend. |
Emissions | 1200 months | 20% | A significant portion to incentivize ongoing platform activity and user participation. |
Token Generation Event (est Q1 2024)
During the TGE, a certain portion of the $ZERO supply will be released into the market and will be tradable. This supply is called the circulating supply of the token.
On launch, roughly 25% of the supply is estimated to be circulating. The table below showcases how much of the supply will released at the TGE.
| Category | % Amount | % Released at TGE (Upfront %) |
|---|---|---|
Private Sale | 35% | 25% |
Liquidity | 10% | 60% |
Team | 5% | 0% |
Treasury | 5% | 0% |
Advisors | 7% | 25% |
Airdrops | 18% | 40% |
Emissions | 20% | 0% |
Total | 100% | - |
With a circulating supply of approximately 25% at the time of the Token Generation Event (TGE) and a Fixed Dollar Value (FDV) of $25 million, the initial circulating market capitalization is estimated to be around $5.25 million
Distribution over time
To ensure that the ZERO token's tokenomics can sustain long-term, most of its inflation (from liquidity, treasury, private sale, etc.) will end within the first year.
After the one-year period, tokenomics is designed to behave scarcely with inflation, with emissions cut down by half every 12 months.
By the end of the first year, roughly 78% of the token supply will be circulating. After that, the remaining 22% will be released over an exponential decay of time.
Detailed month-by-month distribution
For those who'd like to examine precise numbers on how much ZERO will be added to circulation month by month, an Excel sheet (linked here) has been created, which digs deeper into how many new tokens are added.
