Uni Terminal, committed to the principles of transparency and fairness, has consulted with Shoal Research to create a revised tokenomics structure. This new plan is carefully designed to ensure alignment with the interests of the team and token holders, and showcases our dedication to sustainable and ethical token distribution.

Revamped Tokenomics

Initially, our tokenomics were developed under time constraints, prioritizing operational flexibility and leaving space to adapt as we grew. However, recognizing the need for a more robust strategy, Uni Terminal and Shoal Research have crafted a plan that balances flexibility with accountability. This approach ensures adequate funding for operations, incentivizes community engagement, and prevents any compromise in strategic decision-making.

Burning Bright

A pivotal decision in this revised plan is the substantial burn of 5,182,850 tokens from the initial 10 million total supply, amounting to a dramatic 51.8% reduction. This move underscores our commitment to value over volume, ensuring a focused and efficient token distribution.

Token Allocation

- Total Supply: 4,817,149 tokens

- Team Allocation: 550,000 tokens (11.42%)

- Treasury: 1,000,000 tokens (20.76%)

- Liquidity/Circulating: 662,149 tokens (13.75%)

- Community Incentives: 2,000,000 tokens (41.52%)

- Marketing: 320,000 tokens (6.64%)

- Private Sale: 235,000 tokens (4.88%)

  • Airdrop: 50,000 tokens (1.04%)

Team Allocation

The team allocation, set at 550,000 tokens, will be vested over 30 months with an annual emission of 220,000 tokens. This structure not only covers operational costs but also incentivizes the team to drive long-term success and development of Uni Terminal.

Treasury for Operational Costs

Uni Terminal estimates annual operational expenses at $400,000, requiring approximately 450,000 $UNIT tokens each year. The treasury will undergo a 3-month lock and a 48-month linear vesting schedule. This method ensures a steady flow of funds for operations while maintaining financial stability.

Empowering the Community

Community incentives, a cornerstone of Uni Terminal’s strategy, will see 23% of funds allocated for staking in the first two years. This initiative aims to offer an attractive 20–30% APR for staking, encouraging active community participation.

Mitigation Mechanics

In anticipation of concerns regarding token emissions, it’s important to highlight the measures set in place in order to mitigate these effects. Firstly, a strategic buy/burn mechanism is in place, actively working to reduce inflationary pressures by periodically removing tokens from circulation. Additionally, not all tokens will enter circulation immediately, or potentially ever, as the schedule allows for flexibility contingent on market circumstances or performance. Our vesting schedules are designed to release tokens into the market in a controlled and gradual manner, ensuring that any market impact is negligible, and maintaining the token’s stability over time.

The Path Ahead

It is our belief that Uni Terminal’s commitment to its community, team, and long-term development is evident in this restructuring. As the project evolves, these tokenomics will serve as a strong foundation for growth and success, benefiting all stakeholders involved.
