Fractal Token Launch on Polkastarter

2021 is already shaping up to be a landmark year for Fractal, and the announcement of the all-new Fractal Protocol.

We earlier this year successfully completed a $2.2m pre-sale round, with support coming from a myriad of tier-one blockchain protocol founders, smaller and larger VC funds, infrastructure providers and more. We are truly humbled to know that so many influential figures, projects and businesses from such a wide array of industries trust in our plan for the future of the free web as much as we do.

This initial funding helped us to amongst other things build the first MVP version of our protocol — We invite you to discover more about this by reading our Whitepaper.

With a highly dedicated team and prominent figures in the Web3 space advising Fractal such as Bruce Pon, Co-Founder of Ocean Protocol, we have kickstarted our mission to build a new layer that powers the free internet. It was important to us to get support from renowned entrepreneurs in the AdTech industry like Adjust’s (recently acquired by Applovin) former COO Aurel Stenzel as well as Stefan Benndorf, former MD at Applift.

Following successful private raises and to further assist us in the development of this open-source solution for the fair exchange of data and information, we want to announce that we will be conducting a Community Sale of the utility token for the Fractal Protocol, FCL, on the popular sale platform Polkastarter.

We will be launching the Fractal Community Sale on the Polkastarter platform on Thursday, 25th February 2021. The specific time will be made public in the coming days.

This upcoming sale will give both the existing Fractal community, Protocol stakeholders (Users, Advertisers, Verifiers, Insurers, and Attesters) and the future bloggers and builders, those that will enable the free web, the opportunity to join us and be part of the Fractal journey.

Presale information

5.3% of tokens were sold in our private sales between Summer 2020 and January 2021. Prices in the early rounds ranged from $0.025 and $0.05 per token with a 6 months lock, followed by 12 months vesting. In the most recent round, the price was $0.10 per token with a 6 month vesting schedule starting with the day of the Uniswap listing.

The FCL token

The Fractal utility token FCL coordinates and unites all stakeholders around the Fractal Open Advertising Economy. There is no profit, no dividend, no ownership, and no voting rights via the token. We instead intend that the token functions as the Protocol’s native currency, fueling the incentives mechanism embedded in the Protocol.

By design, the FCL token fulfills a number of critical functions that ensure ongoing demand correlated to ecosystem growth. We believe that well-designed token economics is essential to supporting the actual utility of the token.

Please stay tuned for an in-depth look at the FCL token economics, which we will be releasing in the near future.
