The economic structure of Tokan has been created in such a way as to encourage beneficial behaviour whilst synchronizing the interests of all participants in the ecosystem, adding collective value within the protocol. A range of groups and early contributors will be granted initial veTKN stakes to stimulate their involvement in the Tokan ecosystem.
30% Protocol Airdrops - Locked
30% of the initial supply will be earmarked for Protocol Airdrops. This allocation will be locked as veTKN and granted to protocols that demonstrate a willingness to participate in the Scroll ecosystem.
The amount given to any protocol is variable and will be subject to many factors, including, but not limited to: TVL, community size and the relative scale of the protocol. Another major factor would be the project's alignment with the success of Tokan, as it is critical for protocols to be engaging in activity beneficial to the long-term success of Tokan.
20% Team - Locked
20% of the initial supply is allocated to the team (locked as veTKN). This is to ensure that we are able to acquire and sustain the resources needed to develop and improve Tokan Exchange.
It is also critical for the team to remain motivated so they can build on and continue to benefit the Tokan Ecosystem. The allocation being locked demonstrates the team's long-term belief and vision in Tokan Exchange.
18% Community Airdrop - Locked
In order for us to expand the Tokan community and build awareness, 9% of the initial TKN supply will be available to claim as an airdrop by eligible recipients as veTKN. The remaining 9% will be reserved to be allocated to future airdrop campaigns.
Eligibility will be dependent on a number of criteria to ensure the veTKN is distributed to the most optimal participants in the DeFi community
12% Ecosystem Grant - Unlocked
12% of the initial supply will be allocated towards supporting the Scroll and Tokan ecosystems. This will allow Tokan to accelerate growth of the Scroll DeFi environment, whilst solidifying Tokan as the central liquidity layer.
10% Essence Finance - Locked
Tokan Exchange will maintain an ongoing mutually beneficial partnership with Essence Finance. Essence Finance will allocate a large majority of their governance token emissions towards incentives on Tokan Exchange.
In return, they will receive a 10% of the initial supply as veTKN.
6% Liquidity
4% of the initial supply will be paired with CHI to establish the initial liquidity, while the remaining 2% will be held in reserve for future additions to the liquidity pool.
4% Marketing
4% of the initial supply will be reserved for various marketing campaigns to increase and maintain Tokan's brand awareness. This may include additional airdrops or funding marketing campaigns.
