Supply, Allocation, Vesting

Total supply, who receives tokens, and lockups that align with long-term use. Content

Total supply

  • Fixed supply: 1,000,000,000 YAP (1 billion).

  • No future mints, no hidden inflation, and no discretionary “reserve creation.”

  • Any future supply-related change requires a public notice period and an on-chain governance action.

Vesting Principles

  • No immediate insider unlocks.

  • Team and investor tokens follow cliff + linear vesting structures only.

  • Any vesting change requires:

    1. Public notice period.

    2. On-chain governance approval.

    3. On-chain contract update.

  • Ecosystem emissions follow strict guardrails:

    • Maximum annualized emission.

    • Pre-defined decay schedule.

    • Transparent epoch-by-epoch release.

    • Real-time analytics

  • Team and advisor allocations:

    • Fully time-locked

    • No discretionary acceleration

    • Any acceleration tied strictly to explicitly disclosed corporate events

  • Liquidity / Public Sale Tokens:

    • Vested or locked, not free-floating at TGE

    • Structures designed to reduce immediate sell pressure and maintain market stability

Vesting and lockup: Team and advisor allocations are time-locked; any acceleration clauses tied only to corporate events require explicit disclosure. The ecosystem pool should contain guardrails (annualized maximum emission and decay schedule) to control inflation. Public sale tokens used as liquidity should have vesting/locking to reduce immediate sell pressure.
