# Token Metrics

The funding structure is designed to strategically distribute tokens among private and public investors to ensure project stability and growth. Private investors include Early, Strategic, and Private rounds, each with specific percentages of tokens released, token prices, and return on investment (ROI) metrics compared to the public sale.

The total funds collected from these rounds amount to $17,190,000, with a fully diluted valuation of $90,000,000. This structured approach ensures that the project has the necessary funds for development, marketing, and operational expenses while providing early and strategic investors with substantial returns, encouraging their long-term commitment and support for the project.

The token allocation chart illustrates the distribution of tokens among different categories, ensuring a balanced approach to meet the needs of the project and its stakeholders.&#x20;

This allocation strategy aims to balance the needs of early supporters, investors, team members, and the broader community. By ensuring a fair distribution, the project can promote long-term stability, growth, and active participation from all stakeholders.

* Early (1%): Allocated to early supporters and contributors, incentivizing their initial involvement and support for the project.
* Strategic (7%): Reserved for strategic partners and investors who can provide valuable resources and guidance to help grow the project.
* Private (12%): Distributed to private investors who contribute significant funding and support during the initial stages of the project.
* Public (10%): Made available to the general public through an Initial DEX Offering (IDO), ensuring broad community participation and decentralization.
* Founders (7%): Set aside for the founding team, aligning their interests with the long-term success of the project.
* Advisors (3%): Allocated to advisors who provide strategic advice and guidance to help steer the project in the right direction.
* Treasury (10%): Reserved for the project’s treasury to fund future developments, partnerships, and other essential activities.
* Liquidity (10%): Ensures sufficient market liquidity, facilitating smooth trading and stability in the token market.
* Staking (30%): Dedicated to staking rewards, incentivizing network participants to stake their tokens, secure the network, and earn rewards.
* Community (10%): Aimed to fuel the initial provision for the IOTY rewards issuing mechanism.

## Vesting Schedule&#x20;

This distribution strategy reflects a careful consideration of various stakeholders and market dynamics. It aims to create a sustainable and balanced token economy that promotes long-term growth, stability, and engagement within the ecosystem.

Immediate unlocking for the Community and liquidity pools (10% each) ensures that there is sufficient market liquidity and availability of circulating tokens for trading and to fuel the issuing mechanism. This helps in maintaining a stable market price and avoids excessive price volatility at the onset.&#x20;

The founders and advisors, who play a crucial role in the project’s development and strategic direction, have their tokens locked with a long-term exit strategy vesting period. This ensures their long-term commitment and alignment with the project’s success.

Staking (30%) allocations is vested over the longest period (60 months), encouraging long-term participation and engagement from the community. This strategy helps in building a robust and active user base.

The treasury allocation (10%) is unlocked gradually over 18 months, providing the project with early sustained financial resources to fund continuous developments, partnerships, and ecosystem growth initiatives.

The graph above illustrates the monthly unlock and circulating supply of tokens over a 60-month period following the Token Generation Event (TGE). The x-axis represents the months after TGE, while the y-axis shows the number of tokens unlocked.

The graph clearly indicates a significant amount of tokens being unlocked during the first 18 months, a period characterized by a substantial release of vested tokens, potentially leading to high selling pressure in the market. The largest unlock occurs in the first month, reflecting the immediate unlocking strategy for certain allocations. To counteract the potential selling pressure, we will implement robust marketing campaigns aimed at increasing awareness and demand for the tokens. These campaigns will highlight the project’s milestones, use cases, and long-term potential to attract new investors and retain existing ones. Additionally, we will introduce liquidity through various mechanisms, such as strategic partnerships, market-making activities, and providing liquidity pools on decentralized exchanges.&#x20;

This ensures sufficient market depth, reducing volatility and supporting a stable token price. Furthermore, incentive mechanisms such as staking rewards and yield farming programs will be introduced to encourage token holders to lock their tokens in staking contracts or liquidity pools, thus decreasing the circulating supply and creating buying pressure. These programs will offer attractive returns, aligning the interests of token holders with the long-term success of the project.

## Cumulative Token Supply Over Time

This graph illustrates the cumulative supply of tokens unlocked over time for various categories within our token distribution strategy. The x-axis represents the number of months after the Token Generation Event (TGE), while the y-axis shows the percentage of the total token supply that has been unlocked.
