Tokenomics Overview
Complete tokenomics—1B fixed supply, 60/40 community split, institutional vesting, and economic model designed for sustainable long-term value.
Fair, Transparent, Sustainable
Fanbase tokenomics prioritize long-term community value over short-term insider enrichment. No tricks, no hidden allocations, no dumps.
What Makes It Different:
✅ 60/40 Community/Insider Split (community majority)
✅ 5-Year Team Vesting (longest in industry)
✅ 25% Day 1 Circulating (healthy, transparent float)
✅ LP Burned (rug-proof)
✅ Fixed 1B Supply (no inflation)
Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 $FAN
Fixed Forever. No minting function. Maximum supply hardcoded.
Complete Allocation
Community (60% = 600M tokens):
ICO/Presale: 5% (50M) - ~$5M raise (staged pricing starting from $0.088)
Liquidity: 5% (50M) - DEX pools, LP burned
Treasury & Ecosystem: 15% (150M) - Operations, marketing
Staking: 35% (350M) - 5-year program (up to 150% APY Year 1)
Insiders (40% = 400M tokens):
Development: 18% (180M) - 12mo cliff, 5yr vest
Community: 12% (120M) - 12mo cliff, 4yr vest
Marketing & Partnerships: 10% (100M) - 12mo cliff, 4yr vest
The 60/40 Split: Why It Matters
Typical VC Project: Insiders 60-70%, Community 30-40% → VCs dump on retail
Fanbase: Community 60%, Insiders 40% → True decentralization
Community controls majority of supply = real power in governance.

The 12-Month Cliff
What it means: Zero tokens for first year.
Why it matters:
Filters commitment (can't quick-flip)
Proves long-term belief
Protects community from early dumps
After cliff: Linear monthly vesting begins.
Development monthly unlock (Months 13-60): 3.75M tokens/month Community monthly (Months 13-48): 3.33M/month Marketing & Partnerships monthly (Months 13-48): 2.78M/month Total: ~10M/month (1% of supply)
Manageable if platform grows >1%/month.
Day 1 Circulating: 250M (25%)
Breakdown:
ICO/Presale: 50M (liquid, tradeable)
Liquidity: 50M (locked in DEX, LP burned)
Treasury & Ecosystem: 150M (controlled, not dumped)
Effective liquid supply: ~50M (5%)
Why 25% is healthy:
vs. Low Float Manipulation (2-5%): Similar effective float but transparent about what's unlocked. No hidden supply shocks.
vs. High Float Dumps (50%+): Not flooding market Day 1. Gradual supply increase over 5 years. Organic price discovery.
Best of both worlds: Scarcity + Transparency
Supply Unlock Schedule
Year 1:
Start: 250M circulating (25%)
Staking rewards begin (5mo cliff)
End: ~280M (28%)
Year 2:
Heavy unlock year (cliff expires Month 12)
Staking rewards: 87.5M emitted
Insider vesting: ~120M unlocked
End: ~490M (49%)
Year 3:
Continued vesting
Emissions taper (70M)
End: ~680M (68%)
Year 4:
Backers/Advisors fully vested
End: ~820M (82%)
Year 5:
Team fully vested
Final emissions
End: ~960M (96%)
Remaining 40M: Treasury (if not spent)
Year 2 has most unlock pressure. Price impact mitigated if platform grows faster than unlock rate.
Economic Principles
1. Transparency
100% allocation disclosed. Every token accounted for. Verifiable on-chain.
How to verify:
Check contract on Etherscan/Basescan
View vesting addresses
Track treasury movements
Monitor all transactions
2. Long-Term Alignment
5-year vesting signals decade-scale thinking. Team can't exit quickly. Success = only path to profit.
3. Community Majority
60% to community means real decentralization. Governance votes favor community, not insiders.
4. Sustainable Economics
Staking rewards from fixed pool (not ponzi)
Platform generates real revenue
Utility creates demand floor
Fixed supply prevents inflation
Not a ponzi. Built to last.

Industry-leading commitment.
LP Burn = Rug-Proof
50M tokens + raise portion added to LP → LP tokens burned → Liquidity permanent
Proof on-chain. Mathematically impossible to rug.
Staking-First Model
35% to staking = largest allocation. Signals priority: reward holders, not enrich insiders.
Creates demand (need tokens for rewards), locks supply (staked = illiquid), aligns incentives (long-term holders).
Red Flags Avoided
❌ Low Float Manipulation: 25% Day 1 (transparent) ❌ Founder Dumps: 12-month cliff (locked Year 1) ❌ Hidden Allocations: 100% disclosed ❌ No Lockup: 800M locked Day 1 (80%)
Clean tokenomics. No games.
Supply & Demand Dynamics
Supply Side
Day 1: 250M unlocked, but 50M in LP (burned), 150M treasury (controlled) = ~50M liquid
Year 1: Minimal new supply (staking cliff delays)
Year 2: Heavy unlocks (~200M new) - Price risk if demand doesn't grow
Year 3-5: Tapering unlocks, approaching equilibrium
Demand Side
Utility Demand:
Creators need $FAN to save fees (250M+ potential demand)
Stakers want rewards (300-500M target stake)
Governance seekers accumulate for influence
Speculative Demand:
Growth narrative ($100B market opportunity)
Momentum trading
Influencer adoption
Total Demand > Liquid Supply = Price pressure
Value Accrual Mechanisms
1. Supply Reduction LP burn locks 50M forever (5% removed permanently)
2. Staking Lockup 30-50% staked (300-500M illiquid) = reduces float
3. Platform Revenue Fees from non-stakers → Potential buybacks (reduce supply) or boost staking (increase APY)
4. Utility Value Floor Fee savings create intrinsic value. Price floor = utility value per token.
Long-Term Equilibrium (Year 5+)
Supply Side:
~960M circulating (96%)
Emissions ended
Vesting complete
Mature float
Demand Side:
Platform maturity (millions of users)
Established utility (proven fee savings)
Revenue generation (sustainable operations)
Network effects (self-reinforcing)
Equilibrium: Supply stable, demand from utility + growth. Price reflects platform success.
Mature token = lower volatility, steady appreciation, dividend-like (buybacks/distributions).
Tokenomics Health Indicators
Good Signs:
✅ 30-50% staking participation
✅ Growing holder count (distribution)
✅ Increasing transaction volume (utility)
✅ Transparent treasury movements
Warning Signs:
⚠️ Staking <10% (low confidence)
⚠️ Decreasing holders (consolidation)
⚠️ Falling transaction volume
⚠️ Opaque treasury actions
Fanbase has structural advantages: 12-month cliff prevents early dumps, LP burn eliminates rug risk, governance ensures transparency.
