Tokenomics
The implementation of the DCAST token is currently under careful scrutiny for its viability, as well as regulatory uncertainties that could classify it as a security token. It is crucial to note that any ERC20 contract currently being deployed under the name "DCAST" is not official and should be considered fraudulent.
Maximum Supply
The total number of tokens is capped at 100 million.
Allocations
The total distribution of DCAST tokens will be as follows:
Investors: 7% (7M)
Seed Round : 7% (7M) - 1-year cliff, followed by 3-years vesting
Community: 79.2% (79.2M)
The token issuance follows a monthly distribution plan: initially, 1 million tokens will be distributed each month for the first 44 months, allocated based on the activity of the previous month. At the end of this period, a halving of the monthly issuance will occur every 44 months, continuing until the total cap of 88 million issued tokens is reached.
Active users: 70.4% (70.4M) (80% of the monthly distribution)
Grants: 8.8% (8.8M) (10% of the monthly distribution)
Team: 8.8% (8.8M) (10% of the monthly distribution)
identical distribution plan to the community
DAO: 5% (5M)
Treasury : 3% (3M) - 5-years vesting
Liquidity Pools: 2% (2M) - TGE Issuance
Circulating Supply Evolution
Initialization of Supply
Upon deployment of the DCast.sol contract, which marks the Token Generation Event (TGE), 2% of the total supply is immediately allocated for liquidity pools, and 3% will go to the protocol's treasury, which will be unlocked linearly over 60 months.
Vesting Plan for Investors
Lock-up Period (cliff): Initial investors are subject to a one-year lock-up period during which no token allocations will be distributed.
Linear Distribution (vesting): Following the cliff period, tokens allocated to investors will be distributed linearly over a three-year period, with monthly payouts. This ensures a gradual and controlled release of supply.
Token distribution for community and team
The DCAST tokens allocated to the community and team, representing 88% of the total supply, follow a vesting plan characterized by a monthly distribution with a halving mechanism every 44 months. This distribution strategy is designed to encourage long-term engagement within the community and among team members, rewarding initial commitment while encouraging continued development and expansion of the DSponsor protocol.
The monthly distribution of DCAST tokens is directly tied to the activity and contribution to the protocol during the previous month. At the start of each month, the supply allocated to the community and the team is divided as follows:
Commissions for generated revenue: The majority of the distribution, 80%, is paid out as commissions. These commissions are distributed in proportion to the revenue generated for the treasury during the previous month.
Team contribution : Each month, 10% of the monthly distribution is reserved for DSponsor team members who have actively contributed during the previous month.
Grants : Another 10% will be allocated as "grants", rewarding specific contributions that have a positive impact on the DSponsor protocol. Initially, these rewards are decided by the team, then by governance.
This vesting plan is designed not only to increase buying pressure, but also to encourage active participation by token holders in the Protocol's continued revenue growth. By introducing a halving every 44 months, the reduced availability of new tokens to capture a share of the protocol's revenue encourages strategic accumulation. However, as vesting progresses and new tokens are issued, existing holders see their relative share of future profits diluted. This dilution incentivizes holders to actively support and contribute to the ongoing expansion of the protocol. In practice, this means that token holders become partners in the growth of the protocol, attracted by the potential increase in revenue and valuation of the token they hold. This mechanism creates an ecosystem in which the alignment of interests between token holders and the growth of the protocol is essential to its long-term success.
Price and valuation of DCAST token
The price of DCAST is determined by market forces on decentralized exchange platforms such as Balancer or Uniswap, where the supply and demand of participants determine its real-time value.
