Upcoming Team Token Payouts:

At Pantos, every team member is granted 150,000 PAN tokens, subject to an 18-month vesting period. Furthermore, there is an opportunity for each member to increase their allocation to as much as 500,000 PAN. This increase is contingent upon meeting specific internal performance benchmarks and project goals.

The team token payout for the year 2023 will be distributed no earlier than July 2024, after the 18-month vesting period has concluded.

Ensuring Liquidity for PAN Trading

Since 2018 the community has been able to trade PAN tokens on Bitpanda through Bitpanda’s own in-house market making, ensuring high liquidity. This includes setting appropriate bids and asks based on a proprietary algorithm in accordance with the Austrian financial market authorities. The price of PAN on Bitpanda is therefore governed by market supply and demand dynamics, with Bitpanda’s algorithm playing a key role in maintaining a balanced and fair trading environment. In times of high buy or sell pressure, the algorithm provides additional PAN from the reserve or buys back PAN from the market in order to sustain a highly liquid market.

Advancing PAN Token Accessibility

Our commitment to the Pantos ecosystem’s growth includes a focused effort on improving the accessibility of the PAN token. This encompasses strategic initiatives to ensure that users can easily obtain, hold, and utilize PAN across multiple platforms and blockchains.

Strategic Exchange Listings: A critical aspect of our accessibility strategy involves listing the PAN token on additional exchanges, following the token migration. By doing so, we aim to make PAN more readily available to a global audience, simplifying the process for users to acquire and trade PAN. These efforts are essential for fostering wider adoption and engagement within the Pantos ecosystem.

Liquidity Provision and DEX Incentives: Recognizing the importance of liquidity for token accessibility, we are actively exploring initiatives to incentivize liquidity provision on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). High liquidity levels are vital for ensuring that users can execute transactions with PAN efficiently, without significant price slippage. We are currently exploring various options for introducing rewards or incentives for users who contribute to liquidity pools, thereby supporting a more vibrant and user-friendly trading environment.

Through these initiatives, our goal is to significantly enhance the accessibility of the PAN token, ensuring easy access for everyone worldwide.

Commitment to Transparency

As part of our dedication to maintaining open and clear communication, we commit to providing quarterly updates. These updates will encompass comprehensive details about PAN’s distribution and market activities. Our goal is to ensure that our community stays thoroughly informed about the progress and changes in our ecosystem. This commitment reflects our belief in the importance of keeping our community at the forefront of all our endeavors.
