Allocation & Vesting

Detailed breakdown of token allocation, vesting schedules, and insider alignment mechanisms ensuring long-term commitment to Fanbase success.

Complete Token Distribution

Every $FAN token is accounted for. Here's the complete breakdown with vesting details, unlock schedules, and alignment mechanisms.

---

Allocation Breakdown (1B Total)

Community Allocation (600M - 60%)

ICO/Presale: 50M (5%)

Purpose: Early community access, raise $5M for operations

Terms:

• Price: $0.10 per token

• Total raise: $5,000,000

• Unlock: 100% Day 1 (immediate liquidity)

• Vesting: None

Why 5%:

• Not a cash grab (lean raise, focused execution)

• Limited supply creates scarcity

• Fair price discovery on DEX after launch

• $5M sufficient for initial operations

Liquidity Provision: 50M (5%)

Purpose: DEX liquidity pools (permanent)

Terms:

• 50M $FAN + portion of raise → DEX LP

• LP tokens burned immediately

• Unlock: 100% Day 1 (but locked in pool)

• Vesting: N/A (permanent lock)

Why This Matters:

• Liquidity locked forever (rug pull impossible)

• Trading always available

• Price floor supported

• Mathematical proof of no-rug

Verification: LP burn transaction public on blockchain explorer.

Ecosystem & Treasury: 150M (15%)

Purpose: Operations, marketing, partnerships, salaries, development

Terms:

• Unlock: 100% Day 1 (operational flexibility)

• Vesting: On-demand (governance oversight)

• Control: Multisig wallet (3-of-5 or similar)

Usage:

• Marketing campaigns (creator acquisition)

• Development costs (platform features)

• Partnerships and integrations

• Team salaries and operations

• Community grants

Governance: Large treasury spends (>$100K) require community vote.

Transparency: All movements public on-chain, monthly reports published.

Staking Rewards: 350M (35%)

Purpose: Incentivize long-term holding, reward community

Terms:

• Unlock: 0% Day 1

• Cliff: 6 months (stakers must wait)

• Vesting: 5 years (tapering curve)

• Distribution: Proportional to stake

Emissions Schedule:

Year	% of Pool	Tokens	Purpose
Year 1	30%	105,000,000	Bootstrap adoption
Year 2	25%	87,500,000	Growth phase
Year 3	20%	70,000,000	Stability
Year 4	15%	52,500,000	Maturity
Year 5	10%	35,000,000	Long-tail

Front-loaded to incentivize early adoption. Tapering ensures sustainability.

Insider Allocation (400M - 40%)

Development: 180M (18%)

Who: Founders, developers, employees

Vesting:

• TGE Unlock: 0%

• Cliff: 12 months (zero tokens Year 1)

• Vesting: 48 months linear (after cliff)

• Total: 5 years

Monthly Unlock (After Cliff): 180M / 48 months = 3.75M tokens/month (Months 13-60)

Why 5 Years: Longest lockup in industry. Proves commitment to long-term success. Team only profits if community profits.

Verification: Team wallet addresses will be public post-launch.

Community: 120M (12%)

Who: Early backers and seed capital providers

Vesting:

• TGE Unlock: 0%

• Cliff: 12 months

• Vesting: 36 months linear (after cliff)

• Total: 4 years

Monthly Unlock (After Cliff): 120M / 36 months = 3.33M tokens/month (Months 13-48)

Why Backers Exist: Early capital funded platform development before revenue. Aligned through vesting.

Marketing & Partnerships: 100M (10%)

Who: Advisors and strategic partners

Vesting:

• TGE Unlock: 0%

• Cliff: 12 months

• Vesting: 36 months linear (after cliff)

• Total: 4 years

Monthly Unlock (After Cliff): 100M / 36 months = 2.78M tokens/month (Months 13-48)

Why Marketing & Partnerships: Expertise, network access, strategic guidance. Compensated with tokens, aligned through vesting.

Vesting Comparison

Fanbase vs. Industry Standard

Project Era	Typical Team Cliff	Typical Vesting	Total Lock	Fanbase
ICO 2017	0 months	0-6 months	6 months	5 years
VC 2020	0-6 months	12-24 months	2 years	5 years
Quality 2023	6-12 months	24-36 months	3-4 years	5 years

Fanbase = Industry-leading commitment.

Why Long Vesting Matters

Short Vesting (1-2 years): Team exits Year 2-3 → Sells on community → Project dies

Long Vesting (5 years): Team locked for years → Must make platform succeed → Aligned with community

12-Month Cliff Specifically: Team gets ZERO tokens first year → Proves commitment → Can't dump early

---

Monthly Unlock Breakdown

Months 1-12: Only staking rewards vest (but 6mo cliff delays claims)

Months 13-48: All insider categories unlock

Month Range	Development	Community	Marketing & Partnerships	Total/Month
13-48	3.75M	3.33M	2.78M	9.86M
49-60	3.75M	-	-	3.75M

Months 13-48 = heaviest unlock period (~10M/month = 1% supply)

Is this sustainable? If platform transaction volume grows >1%/month, unlocks absorbed by demand. Many insiders will restake (not sell). Manageable with strong platform growth.

Red Flags We Avoided

❌ Low Float Manipulation

Scam: 2% float, insiders hold 98%, pump and dump Fanbase: 25% float, transparent about what's locked

❌ Founder Dumps

Scam: Founders dump immediately, exit Fanbase: 12-month cliff, 5-year vest, can't exit

❌ Hidden Allocations

Scam: "Ecosystem 30%" hides insider tokens Fanbase: Every category explicit, verifiable

❌ No Vesting

Scam: All liquid Day 1, immediate dumps Fanbase: 80% locked Day 1 (800M)

Circulating Supply Growth

Visual Representation:

Year 1:  ███░░░░░░░ 28%  (~280M circulating)
Year 2:  █████░░░░░ 49%  (~490M circulating)
Year 3:  ███████░░░ 68%  (~680M circulating)
Year 4:  ████████░░ 82%  (~820M circulating)
Year 5:  ██████████ 96%  (~960M circulating)

Gradual, predictable increase. No supply shocks. Transparent schedule.

Alignment Mechanisms

Development Team Incentives

Scenario: Development team wants to profit

Option A (Short-term): Dump tokens immediately

• Problem: 12-month cliff prevents this

• Result: Must wait, must build

Option B (Long-term): Build sustainable platform

• Benefit: Token value increases over 5 years

• Result: Aligned with community success

5-year vesting forces Option B.

Community (Early Backers) Incentives

4-year lockup means early backers bet on long-term success, not quick flip. Filters tourist capital. Only serious believers participate.

Token Holder Incentives

60% allocation means token holders control governance. Platform serves community, not insiders.

Everyone aligned through token ownership.

---

Treasury Governance

150M Tokens (15%) - Fully Liquid Day 1

Why Unlocked: Operational flexibility. Platform needs funds for marketing, development, salaries without artificial constraints.

Risk: 150M tokens could dump market (at $0.10 = $15M sell pressure).

Mitigations:

• Multisig control: 3-of-5 (or 4-of-7) signatures required

• Governance oversight: Large spends require community vote

• Transparency: All movements public on-chain

• Monthly reports: Published spending breakdown

• Aligned incentives: Team vesting means they want token to appreciate

Community can monitor and veto bad decisions.

Verification & Transparency

How to Verify Everything:

1. Token Contract:

• Etherscan/Basescan

• Check total supply = 1B

• Verify no mint function

2. Vesting Contracts:

• View team/backer/advisor vesting addresses

• Track unlock schedules

• Monitor actual vs. stated

3. LP Burn:

• Transaction hash public

• LP tokens provably burned

• Liquidity permanently locked

4. Treasury:

• Multisig address public

• All movements visible

• Monthly spending reports

Trust through verification, not faith.

The Allocation Promise

Fanbase commits to:

1. ✅ No hidden allocations (100% disclosed)

2. ✅ No token minting (1B forever)

3. ✅ Public vesting addresses (verifiable)

4. ✅ LP burn proof (on-chain)

5. ✅ Treasury transparency (monthly reports)

6. ✅ Community governance (protect your interests)

What to expect:

Year 1: Stable supply, no dumps, organic growth Years 2-5: Predictable unlocks, platform matures, price reflects fundamentals Year 5+: Mature float, sustainable equilibrium, established asset

Bottom Line: Allocation and vesting aren't just numbers—they're commitment mechanisms. 5-year lockup proves team believes in long-term vision. 60/40 split gives community real control. LP burn makes rug mathematically impossible.

This is how you build trust in crypto.
