Tokenomics & LP Lock
Powering Fairness, Loyalty, and Real Utility
At the core of every launch on DeFive is a structured tokenomics and liquidity strategy — one that supports real fundraising, protects buyers, and strengthens the entire ecosystem through $FIVE utility.
🎯 1. Token Allocation for Launch Rounds
Projects launching via DeFive commit a predefined portion of their total token supply to the Launchpad.
Typically between 5–15% of the total supply is allocated for the launch.
This allocation is split across the Genesis and Momentum rounds.
The exact percentage and distribution are customized based on the project’s tokenomics, but always transparently published ahead of launch.
To ensure quality and accountability:
If a project team’s personal token allocation exceeds 10%, then KYC verification is mandatory.
This helps filter unserious teams and reduce risk of bad actors.
🔁 2. Real Fundraising, Not Just Token Swapping
Unlike many launch models that rely on speculative token-to-token sales, DeFive ensures projects raise stable assets that can support real-world development.
Genesis Round: Participation is in USDC only — providing clean, stable liquidity.
Momentum Round: May support USDC, $S, or staked $S (project-dependent).
These assets flow to the project as real capital, allowing serious teams to fund development, liquidity, and operations.
This model ensures that launcpad is not a pump-and-dump machine — but a real bridge to growth for projects building on Sonic.
🔥 3. Buyback and Burn Mechanism
Here’s where DeFive turns fundraising into ecosystem value.
A portion of the raised funds are allocated to the platform.
These funds are:
Converted into $FIVE via open-market buybacks
Burned permanently, removing supply and creating deflationary pressure.
Optionally, a portion can be used to bootstrap staking rewards for the launched token (i.e., creating a launch pool or farming opportunity).
This creates a circular value system where every launch benefits not just the project, but the long-term health of $FIVE and veFIVE holders.
🔐 4. Liquidity Pool Locking: Rug-Proof by Default
One of the most common community fears is: “What if they launch, dump tokens, and vanish?”
DeFive has a built-in safeguard:
At least 10% of the raised funds are required to be used for creating a liquidity pool for the token.
This liquidity is:
Locked via smart contract for a minimum of 6 months.
Managed transparently, with clear details visible to the public.
This ensures:
The token has a healthy, tradeable market post-launch.
The team cannot pull liquidity and run.
Buyers are protected from typical post-launch volatility and scams.
