I’ve edited my original proposal based on some good ideas from the community discussion as well as Dk’s above post.
Changelog
-
Reduced LM emission rate to 1.2M tokens/year for 4 years.
This would leave 12 M tokens outstanding that could be used to incentivize liquidity on other products the team might launch. If after 4 years no use has been identified, they could be burned via community vote -
Blue Descent tokens will now vest as vxPremia locked for 4 years
-
Adjusted “Partnerships/MM” bucket to 10% of supply.
-
“Partnerships/MM” tokens are unvested but cannot be touched unless community votes on it
-
Added a “Marketing” bucket with 1M Premia vesting over 4 years
Rationale
This proposal intends to bring Premia’s tokenomics in line with what are widely considered best practices in the ecosystem:
1. High circulating supply relative to fully diluted valuation
MCap/FDV at start: 0.37
MCap/FDV after 4 years: 0.81
2. 66% or more of supply controlled by the community
This proposal would leave 33% of tokens in the hands of the team and 67% under community governance
3. Low and predictable rate of inflation (<50% YoY)
16M tokens would be unlocked / year
(1.9M would be in the form of locked vxPremia)
Inflation 1st year: 57%
Inflation 2nd year: 36%
Inflation 3rd year: 27%
Inflation 4th year: 21%
4. Simple distribution and transparency about which party controls which buckets
Token burn: 25M tokens
The other 75M tokens would be distributed in the following buckets:
Premia Team: 25M tokens
- 33% of supply
- To be used by the Team at their will
- Vested linearly over 4 years
Liquidity Mining: 24M tokens
- 33% of supply
- Controlled by community governance
- 1.2M tokens would be emitted per year for 4 years (could be changed by community at any time)
Blue Descent: 7.5M tokens
- 10% of supply
- Controlled by the DAO governance body
- Vested as 4 year-locked vxPremia linearly over 4 years
Bootstrap distribution: 10M tokens
- 13% of supply (All holders would see their share of ownership increased by 33%)
Strategic Partnerships: 7.5M tokens
- 10% of supply
- Controlled by community governance
- Locked unless community votes otherwise
Marketing: 1M tokens
- 1% of supply
- Controlled by community governance
- Vested linearly over 4 years
