Token Unlock Plan

Token Sales:

Private Round

15% of the sold tokens in the Private Round are circulable at TGE, and the remaining 85% are locked. The locked tokens will be linearly unlocked over 1.5 years after the mainnet goes live.

Seed Round

Tokens sold in the Seed Round are fully locked and will remain locked for half a year after the mainnet goes live, and will be unlocked linearly over 1.5 years afterward.

BD & Marketing

The Crust Foundation will review working capital requirements every 6 months. BD & Marketing tokens are used for marketing purposes such as airdrops, testnet incentives, and other marketing activities.

Community Development

The Crust Foundation will review requirements every 6 months for the community development budget. Tokens for community development will be unlocked as needed, and are used for purposes such as exchange liquidity (CEX and DEX) and similar purposes.

Foundation Reservation

Tokens reserved for the foundation are fully locked and will be linearly unlocked over 2 years after the Mainnet goes live.

All locked tokens can be used for staking purposes.

When will you launch the Mainnet?

We are targeting Q2 2021 to launch the Crust Mainnet.

Token Sales

During the previous sales rounds, 3 million CRU were sold. 1 million in the Seed Round ($0.5 per CRU), and 2 million in the Private Round ($1-$2 per CRU).

An additional 2 million CRU will be available for further plans:
100,000 CRU for auction
550,000 CRU to bootstrap DEX & CEX liquidity, onboard strategic ecosystem partners, run community events and other social activities.
1.35M CRU tokens will be locked in a separate contract; we will review our working capital requirements every 6 months

Current Circulating Supply

2M*15%(Private Round) + 100K(Auction) + 550K(liquidity) = 950,000 CRU

Reserved for Marketing and Drops: 50,000 CRU

Other Tokens in the Crust System

In Crust Network, except for the main token CRU, there are tokens such as CSM, CRU18 and Candy that can be used in activities and marketing promotion. These tokens will be distributed to the community users and related entities entirely in the form of placement.

CRU18

CRU18 represents CRU that is unlocked over a period of 18 months. CRU18 was issued to private equity investment institutions and those who participated in the early Profit Ark testnet. CRU18 cannot be transferred or traded, and will begin to linearly unlock over 18 months after the launch of the mainnet.

Once the Crust Network mainnet has launched, CRU18 can be used in staking.
