Supply & Distribution

How the 1 Billion VORTEX tokens are allocated

Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 VORTEX

The total supply is fixed at 1 billion tokens. No minting function exists — the supply can only decrease through natural market dynamics and locked staking.

Allocation Breakdown

Allocation	Percentage	Tokens	Purpose
🌊 Liquidity Pool	40%	400,000,000	Initial DEX liquidity on Base
🍀 Staking Rewards Pool	20%	200,000,000	Reserved for Luck Staking incentives
👥 Team & Development	15%	150,000,000	Core team allocation (vested)
📣 Marketing & Partnerships	10%	100,000,000	Growth campaigns, influencers, partnerships
🎁 Community & Airdrops	10%	100,000,000	Community rewards, airdrops, events
🔒 Reserve	5%	50,000,000	Emergency reserve, future development

Vesting Schedule

Team & Development (15%)

• 6-month cliff — No tokens accessible for the first 6 months

• 24-month linear vesting — Tokens unlock gradually over 2 years after the cliff

• Purpose: Ensures long-term team commitment and prevents early dumping

Marketing & Partnerships (10%)

• No cliff — Available from launch for immediate marketing needs

• Controlled release — Managed by multi-sig wallet with community oversight

• Purpose: Funds launch campaigns, influencer partnerships, and exchange listings

Community & Airdrops (10%)

• Event-driven release — Distributed through seasonal events, community quests, and engagement campaigns

• Purpose: Rewards early adopters and drives organic community growth

Liquidity Strategy

Initial Liquidity (40%)

• Paired with USDC on Base DEX at launch

• Liquidity tokens locked for 12 months minimum

• Lock verified on-chain and publicly auditable

Liquidity Protection

• 5/5% buy/sell tax (4% vortex / 1% team) discourages rapid trading and bot activity

• 50% Luck penalty on unstaking discourages panic selling

• Tier system rewards long-term holding with compounding advantages

Circulating Supply Dynamics

Over time, the effective circulating supply decreases due to:

Factor	Effect
Luck Staking	Tokens locked in staking contracts, removed from circulation
Team Vesting	15% locked for up to 30 months
Liquidity Lock	40% locked in DEX liquidity
Reserve Lock	5% held in multi-sig reserve
Natural Holding	Luck penalty discourages selling

Projected Circulating Supply

Timeframe	Est. Circulating Supply	Notes
Launch	~30% (300M)	Only community, airdrop, and partial marketing tokens circulate
Month 6	~35% (350M)	Team cliff ends, small unlock begins
Month 12	~40% (400M)	Gradual team vesting + marketing spend
Month 24+	~50% (500M)	Full team vesting complete; staking locks offset unlocks

Note: These projections assume moderate staking participation (~40% of circulating supply staked). Higher staking rates would further reduce effective circulating supply.

Anti-Whale Measures

• Per-wallet purchase caps on raffle tickets prevent whale domination of draws

• Tier system ensures small holders have dedicated draw pools

• Luck Score rewards consistency over size — a long-term small staker can outperform a short-term whale
