Tokenomics

Understanding the $POO token economics and distribution model

Overview

Our tokenomics model is designed to align all stakeholders around long-term success while protecting market integrity. It incorporates milestone-based cliffs, price-triggered unlocks, and a flexible project treasury to support sustained growth.

Note: All allocations and sub-allocations are subject to change based on app adoption, token emission vs. sink dynamics, market conditions, and overall project revenue.

Token Allocation (100%)

Category% AllocationNotes
Project Treasury45%Bundled pool for incentives, partnerships, marketing, and growth.
Core Contributors20%Subject to milestone cliff, then 18-month linear vesting.
Seed Investors10%Subject to milestone cliff, then 18-month linear vesting.
Future Investors10%Post-launch token sales. Vesting and cliff vary by round.
Liquidity Pool15%Reserved for DEX liquidity and market making.

Blanket Milestone Cliff

No tokens for Core Contributors or Seed Investors unlock until all three milestones below are met:

  1. 1.10,000 Unique Customers with Toilet
  2. 2.$1M+ TVL in the Liquidity Pool
  3. 3.Product Live on App Stores

Parallel Launch Strategy

The token launches early in development to build liquidity, establish market presence, and create community engagement. This allows price discovery and ecosystem growth to occur simultaneously with product development, maximizing momentum for app launch.

This approach combines the benefits of early token liquidity with protection against insider dumping until real product-market fit is achieved.

Price-Based Unlocks (Post-Milestone)

Once all three milestones are achieved, token unlocks follow a price-based trigger model:

  • Unlocks happen only when the token price doubles from the previous unlock price.
  • Minimum 120 days between each unlock.
  • Each unlock is capped at 5% of total token supply.

Example: If the token price was $1 at the last unlock, the next unlock only occurs after the price sustains above $2 for 120+ days.

Vesting Terms by Stakeholder Class

StakeholderUnlock & Vesting Conditions
Seed InvestorsSubject to milestone cliff, then linear vesting over 18 months
Core ContributorsSubject to milestone cliff, then linear vesting over 18 months
Future InvestorsAllocated from Treasury; vesting and cliff terms vary per round

All vesting will be conducted via a third-party SaaS vesting provider (e.g., Sablier, Hedgey) to ensure transparency and public trackability.

Project Treasury (45%)

The Treasury is a dynamic pool used to grow the ecosystem, support users, and attract partners. Its flexible sub-structure enables responsive usage based on real-world needs and performance.

Sub-Allocation (Indicative)

Sub-Category% of TreasuryPurpose
Community Incentives40%Streak rewards, referrals, leaderboard bonuses, gamified check-ins
Partnerships & BD20%Strategic alliances, integrations, ecosystem partners
Marketing & Influencers15%Creator campaigns, ambassadors, paid growth
Liquidity Support10%Incentivizing or backstopping liquidity in future pools
Development Grants10%Builder rewards, research bounties, third-party integrations
Reserve / Contingency5%Operational buffer for unexpected needs or future initiatives

These sub-allocations are not fixed and may adjust based on market conditions, user adoption trends, or evolving product priorities.

NFT Toilet Revenue & Token Flywheel

All users who wish to earn token rewards must first purchase an NFT Toilet using USDC, SOL, or credit card. This mechanism creates real economic demand and powers a sustainable token flywheel.

Revenue Distribution

Portion of RevenueAllocation Purpose
25%Used to buy back and permanently remove tokens from circulation (deflationary)
50%Allocated to the core team for operations, development, and ongoing support
25%Used to reward liquidity providers or automatically added to DEX liquidity pools

Flywheel Impact

  • Increased users → more NFT purchases → more buybacks and liquidity → deeper markets
  • Deflationary pressure and consistent demand reinforce token stability
  • Operations remain sustainably funded through real revenue

Potential Enhancements

  • Tiered NFT models (Vegan, Carnival, Diamond, Wood, Techno) with different pricing and perks
  • Dynamic reward boosts for early adopters
  • Referral rewards on Toilet sales
  • "Flush-to-Burn": Users burn tokens or NFTs for temporary APY boosts

This mechanism helps tie platform adoption directly to token value and liquidity growth, building a regenerative token economy rooted in product usage—not just speculation.
