Allocation Details
Ecosystem (50%)
The largest portion of ATX supply is reserved for community participation and protocol usage incentives. This allocation is designed to reward meaningful activity rather than passive holding.
This portion supports:
Trading incentives tied to completed atomic swaps
Telegram-native OTC participation, including weekly bargain markets and asset garage sales
Point farming mechanisms based on verifiable settlement activity
Long-term user engagement and ecosystem growth
Gradual decentralization of governance participation
Furthur technical product development of the platform
Distributions from this allocation are usage-driven and tied to observable on-chain outcomes rather than discretionary grants.
Seed (10.00%)
This allocation is designated for early backers who provided capital, infrastructure support, and long-term ecosystem value.
Vesting schedule:
Lockup period of 3 months from TGE
Linear unlock over 20 months thereafter
This structure ensures that team incentives remain aligned with the protocol’s long-term success and discourages short-term extraction.
Private (5.00%)
The allocation is designated for strategic participants who provide capital, infrastructure support, and long-term ecosystem value after the project kick off.
Initial 6-month lockup
Linear unlock over 20 months following the lockup
Rewards (5.00%)
The allocation supports ongoing user participation offerings and benefits.
Funds from the rewards may be used for:
Fee discounts for being a loyal trader
Kickback on unsuccessful trade based on fail safe or a either party not being authentic and transparent, the fee kickback to the sincere trader.
Participation benefits for events
Team (10.00%)
This allocation supports team development.
It will be used for:
Growth in team members
Benefits for team members who accelerate
Payroll and administrative costs
Additional perks for those who join and support the team.
Marketing (10.00%)
This allocation supports marketing onchain and offchain and hosting conference/side events.
Funds from the marketing may be used for:
Continuation of public expansion
Hosting side events during conferences
User participation rewards for off-chain events
Partnerships
Treasury (5.00%)
The treasury allocation supports ongoing protocol operations and long-term sustainability.
Funds from the treasury may be used for:
infrastructure and security audits
protocol maintenance and upgrades
legal, compliance, and operational costs
ecosystem grants approved through governance
The $ATX token model is designed to:
prioritize real protocol usage over speculative activity
align incentives across users, builders, and capital providers
reduce short-term supply pressure through disciplined vesting
support long-term protocol sustainability
ATX functions as an incentive and governance layer rather than a dependency for protocol security. Atomic swap settlement remains fully independent of token ownership.
