Allocation

Distribution

Every token in the approved supply is assigned to exactly one vault with exactly one release schedule. Nothing is unaccounted for.

Approved for V1 implementation — not deployed. No distribution has occurred because no CGW mint exists on any Solana cluster yet.

Reasoning

Why each allocation is sized this way

Ecosystem & contributor rewards — 45%

APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Rewards for verified, accepted contributions to the plant and garden data commons, plus ecosystem growth incentives.

The largest allocation goes to the people who create the product's actual value — the verified plant observations, corrections and care data. Pyth reserves a comparable named allocation (22%) purely for data publishers; CGW's share is larger because it has no publisher-side commercial relationships to fall back on. The 0.945 annual decay is borrowed from Render's RNP-001 damping coefficient.

Ecosystem treasury, development & grants — 20%

APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Long-term development funding, ecosystem grants, integrations, audits and operational runway.

Released linearly rather than unlocked at genesis so the treasury cannot be spent down quickly, and so the published circulating-supply figure is not inflated by tokens that are merely sitting in a project wallet.

Core team — 15%

APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Long-term compensation and retention for the people building CoinGarden.World.

A 12-month cliff followed by 36 months of linear vesting (48 months total duration). This mirrors the schedule Jupiter enforces on-chain and Jito applies to core contributors. Enforcement must be on-chain and non-accelerable — a published schedule that an administrator can override is not a vesting schedule.

Liquidity & ecosystem integrations — 10%

APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Initial market liquidity and integration incentives, if and when a listing is ever an approved decision.

Liquidity must be unlocked to function at all. This allocation is deliberately modelled as fully released at genesis so the circulating-supply chart shows the honest worst case, not a flattering one. No listing is planned, approved or announced.

Environmental impact initiatives — 5%

APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Funding for verified environmental and biodiversity initiatives selected through the impact process.

Released over five years and held in a separate, separately-reported vault so environmental commitments can be independently audited rather than asserted. Tokens count as treasury-controlled until an actual grant is disbursed against verified evidence.

Early community & launch distribution — 5%

APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Recognition for early CoinGarden users and contributors who built the product's first data and community.

Deliberately small. The research on large retroactive airdrops shows they mostly attract mercenary participation; CGW's long-term distribution is meant to happen through the rewards allocation over years, based on verified contribution, not through one launch event.

Launch

What is deliberately absent

No investor allocation

There are no venture investors and no private round. Nothing is reserved for one.

No presale

No presale is planned, announced or permitted by this design. There is nothing to buy.

No large retroactive airdrop

The launch distribution is deliberately 5%. The research is consistent that very large retroactive airdrops mostly buy short-lived, mercenary participation. CGW distributes over years through the rewards allocation instead, against verified contribution.
