The Three Airdrop Phases
| Phase | Name | Pool | Currency | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Founding Lobster | 1% / 10M | USDB (test) | ~2–6 weeks |
| 2 | Soft Shell — Pre-Audit | 2% / 20M | USDB (test) | ~4–8 weeks |
| 3 | Hard Shell — Pre-TGE | 8% / 80M | Real stablecoin | Until TGE |
Points earned in each phase are banked permanently — they cannot be diluted by future participants. Your share of each phase is (your points / total points in phase) × phase token pool.
Founder Alignment
Founder tokens are permanently locked in the BASIS staking contract. There is no unlock schedule and no cliff that ever expires. Founders earn only from the platform's revenue share that flows to the BASIS vault — which means founders eat only if the protocol succeeds. Founder tokens cannot be dumped at TGE, a year in, or ten years in. By design.
The Revenue Ratchet
Token price isn't left to speculation. It's tied to real platform performance through permanent FDV step-ups triggered by trailing 30-day platform revenue:
| Monthly Platform Revenue | FDV | Token Price |
|---|---|---|
| Floor (launch) | $150M | $0.15 |
| $1M/month | $180M | $0.18 |
| $2.5M/month | $300M | $0.30 |
| $5M/month | $500M | $0.50 |
| $10M/month | $750M | $0.75 |
| $25M/month | $1.5B | $1.50 |
Step-ups are permanent ratchets — once a threshold is hit, the FDV floor increases and never drops back down.
Float at TGE
Day-one float at TGE comes from:
- Community airdrop (fully unlocked, all earned phases combined)
- DEX Liquidity seeded at TGE (5% / 50M)
- CEX Liquidity deposits (7% / 70M)
Everything else is constrained: presale tokens are subject to vesting + cliff (zero presale tokens hit the market on day one), founder tokens are perma-locked, emissions are not yet distributed, ecosystem/marketing/treasury are released over time.
