3.1 Summary

  • Total Supply: 1,000,000,000

  • Genesis Distribution: 12.5%

  • Seed Investment: 2.5% (vesting over 36 months with a 12-month cliff)

  • Team: 10% (vesting over 36 months with a 12-month cliff)

  • Foundation: 8.5%

  • Growth, Ecosystem, Partnerships, Contributors & Liquidity: 66.5%

3.2 Distribution

The token distribution is structured to align with long-term project growth while preventing excessive concentration of ownership. This approach ensures a fair and equitable allocation among early investors, team members, ecosystem partners, and community participants. By implementing vesting schedules, lock-up periods, and gradual release mechanisms, the distribution model fosters sustained engagement, stability, and trust within the ecosystem. Additionally, mechanisms such as periodic audits and governance oversight help maintain transparency and prevent centralization risks, ensuring the continued decentralization of the platform.

  • Private and public sales ensure initial funding while balancing community participation, fostering equitable access to the token while securing essential capital for project development. The private sale attracts early strategic investors, ensuring financial support and long-term commitment, while the public sale encourages broad and decentralized distribution, strengthening community involvement and engagement with the ecosystem.

  • Vesting schedules prevent premature sell-offs by team members and early investors, ensuring long-term commitment to the project’s success. These schedules incorporate gradual token release mechanisms, such as linear vesting over multiple years with an initial cliff period, reducing the risk of market instability caused by sudden liquidations. Additionally, structured vesting aligns incentives between the core team, investors, and the broader ecosystem, fostering sustainable growth and price stability.

  • Reserves are allocated for strategic growth initiatives, partnerships, liquidity provisioning, and ecosystem development. These reserves support long-term project sustainability, fund critical infrastructure improvements, facilitate market-making efforts, and provide incentives for early adopters and developers contributing to the ecosystem. Additionally, a portion of the reserves may be allocated towards grants and incubation programs to foster innovation and expand the Yo-Yo.ai platform’s reach within the blockchain and AI communities.

3.3 Emission

  • Tokens will be released in a controlled manner to prevent inflation, utilizing a structured emission schedule that aligns with ecosystem growth and demand. A combination of vesting periods, staking incentives, and periodic buybacks will regulate token supply, ensuring a gradual and sustainable release. The emission rate will average less than 0.06% per day. Additionally, adaptive token issuance mechanisms will be implemented to respond dynamically to market conditions, mitigating the risk of oversupply while maintaining token utility and long-term value retention.

  • Staking and liquidity incentives will be gradually reduced to align with long-term sustainability, ensuring that rewards are distributed efficiently as the ecosystem matures. This gradual reduction will be accompanied by alternative incentive structures, such as enhanced governance benefits, fee-sharing mechanisms, and strategic partnerships, to maintain engagement while reducing reliance on inflationary rewards. The transition will be managed through periodic assessments, allowing for adjustments based on market conditions and community feedback.

  • Periodic revenue share issuance via stablecoins will reduce potential sell pressure on the YOYO token that other token-incentivized systems suffer. The YOYO token will act as the access point for increased potential revenue share and other ecosystem benefits.
