Spheron’s Token Distribution Strategy: Ensuring Long-Term Alignment
From day one at Spheron, we have been deeply committed to two fundamental principles:
- Long-Term Community Alignment
- On-Chain First Approach
Aligning the Community, Investors, and Team for the Long Term
To create a sustainable and robust ecosystem, it is essential that the community, investors, and team align through a well-structured economic design. This includes a balanced approach to increasing both supply and demand within the network over time.
A key part of this design is our delegated airdrop mechanism, ensuring that early supporters stay engaged and aligned with Spheron’s long-term vision.
What is the Delegated Airdrop Mechanism?
Rather than a traditional airdrop, where recipients receive tokens upfront, our approach introduces delegated airdrops, designed to reward long-term commitment while still allowing flexibility.
- Community members will receive their airdrop allocation in a delegated form, which is eligible for staking rewards.
- The delegated tokens can be unstaked at any time, but with conditions:
- If unstaked within 60 days of the Token Generation Event (TGE) → The member receives only 20% of their total allocation, while the remaining 80% returns to the foundation to fund infrastructure procurement.
- If held for at least 60 days → The member receives 20% of the allocation immediately, and the remaining 80% is gradually unlocked over the next 90 days.
Why Are We Doing This?
The delegated airdrop mechanism is designed to:
- Encourage Long-Term Alignment → By incentivizing members who stay engaged beyond the TGE phase.
- Enable Delegation for Providers & Fizz Nodes → Making it easier for node providers to re-delegate tokens and ensuring a more active network.
- Promote Sustainable Growth → Avoiding rapid token dumping while still ensuring fair access to the airdrop.
Are We Doing This to Avoid Sell Pressure?
Yes and no.
- Yes → We want to minimize high sell pressure from short-term participants who are only looking to exit at TGE.
- No → Because the delegated tokens will still be unlocked within a 3-month timeframe, ensuring that they enter circulation in a more controlled and structured manner.
DEX-First Approach
Unlike many projects that pay large sums to centralized exchanges (CEXs) for listing, we are taking a DEX-first approach. This ensures that liquidity and trading remain transparent, community-driven, and aligned with the core ethos of decentralization.
Through this approach, Spheron is not just launching a token but building a sustainable economy that benefits long-term supporters, ecosystem participants, and infrastructure providers alike.
CEX-Secondary
We will be doing the CEX later but initially whole focus would be to allow community members participate early in Spheron in a decentralized way.
