Tokenomics
ATX Token Distribution Breakdown
The ATX tokenomics are designed to support sustainable protocol growth, incentivize real trading activity, and align long-term stakeholders with the success of the ATOMICS ecosystem. The allocation emphasizes community participation and organic usage while maintaining disciplined incentives for contributors, investors, and protocol operations.
Below is the breakdown of the ATX token allocation along with vesting considerations.
Token Distribution
ICO & Ecosystem Reward
25.00%
Team
30.00%
Investors
20.00%
Protocol Treasury
12.00%
Note: Team and investor allocations are subject to lockups and linear vesting to ensure long-term alignment with the protocol.
Allocation Details
ICO & Ecosystem Reward (25%)
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
Distributions from this allocation are usage-driven and tied to observable on-chain outcomes rather than discretionary grants.
Team (30.00%)
This allocation is reserved for core contributors responsible for protocol research, development, security, and long-term maintenance.
Vesting schedule:
Initial lockup period of 6 months
Linear vesting over 12 months thereafter
This structure ensures that team incentives remain aligned with the protocol’s long-term success and discourages short-term extraction.
Investors (20.00%)
The investor allocation is designated for early backers and strategic participants who provide capital, infrastructure support, and long-term ecosystem value.
Vesting schedule:
Initial 6-month lockup
Linear vesting over 12 months following the lockup
This mirrors the team vesting schedule to maintain alignment between builders and capital providers.
Protocol Treasury (12.00%)
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
Treasury usage is expected to follow transparent governance processes.
Vesting Summary
Team and investor tokens are locked for an initial 6-month period
Tokens vest linearly over 12 months following the lockup
Community and incentive distributions are usage-based and released progressively
Treasury, advisor, and liquidity allocations follow governance-defined schedules
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.
