Token release strategy
onocoyโs token release strategy is designed to balance early growth incentives with long-term sustainability, using a deflationary and vesting-based model. Here's a complete breakdown:
๐ช Total Supply
Capped at 810 million ONO tokens
๐ Token Allocation & Release Schedule

Community (miners, validators, etc.)

Continuous emission, 4-year halving schedule
Ecosystem Development Fund
22%
Continuous + lock/vest + halving
Investors
24%
One-time + linear monthly vesting
Team

One-time + lock & vesting
Listing & Market Making

One-time
๐ Vesting ensures gradual release of tokens to:
Reduce dumping risk
Align long-term incentives
Encourage ongoing contributions
๐ Deflationary Model
New ONO tokens are released according to a halving schedule, similar to Bitcoin:
16% reduction in new supply per year
Results in no new tokens after several years
This affects miner/validator rewards, gradually decreasing over time
Burn mechanism: ONO tokens are burned when swapped for data credits, adding upward price pressure
๐ Utility and Conversion
ONO can be swapped for data credits via an oracle (at a fiat-pegged rate)
A portion of each ONO swap is:
Burned (deflationary)
Sent to a rewards pool (to pay miners/validators)
Allocated to an ecosystem development fund (for growth and maintenance)
๐งฎ Summary: Token Release Mechanics
Controlled inflation โ early growth and incentives
Halving schedule โ long-term scarcity
Burn-and-mint model โ balances fixed fiat pricing with crypto appreciation
Smart contract-driven on Solana โ ensures transparency
