CIA Token Tokenomics & Vesting Schedule

Introduction

To ensure the long-term success and sustainability of our project, we have implemented a well-structured vesting schedule for our token distribution. This approach not only aligns the interests of all stakeholders but also fosters trust and security within our community. Below, we explain how our vesting schedule works and the additional safety measures we have put in place to safeguard the project.

CIA Token will be built on ETH blockchain. The token serves multiple purposes, including staking, payments, and governance.

CIA Token Supply: 1,000,000,000 tokens

Distribution of 1 Billion Tokens & Vesting Schedule

1. Reserve: 10% (100,000,000 tokens)

Safety Measures

To enhance the security and trustworthiness of our project, we have implemented the following safety measures:

1. Multi-Signature Wallets

   • Security: Multi-signature wallets require multiple approvals for transactions, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access or fraud.

   • Transparency: Multi-signature wallets provide an additional layer of accountability, as transactions are approved by multiple stakeholders.

2. DAO Governance

   • Community Involvement: Our DAO governance model ensures that key decisions, including the use of reserved funds and premium domain purchases, are made with community input and approval.

   • Transparency: Regular updates and transparent reporting on the use of funds and token distributions help maintain community trust and engagement.

3. Vesting Schedules

   • Long-Term Commitment: The vesting schedules for the founders, team, and advisors ensure that these key stakeholders are committed to the project’s long-term success.

   • Mitigating Market Impact: Gradual token release through quarterly vesting helps mitigate the risk of large sell-offs that could negatively impact the market.

4. Locked Reserves

   • Financial Stability: The locked reserve ensures that the project has funds available for unforeseen needs and future growth opportunities, subject to community oversight.

5. Performance-Based Rewards

   • Incentivization: Tokens allocated for staking and rewards are released based on participation metrics, incentivizing active engagement and support from the community.

Conclusion

Our carefully designed vesting schedule and comprehensive safety measures are aimed at fostering trust, security, and long-term commitment to our project. By aligning the interests of all stakeholders and ensuring transparent and secure management of funds, we are dedicated to building a sustainable and successful project that benefits the entire community.
