Initial Token Allocation
Investing Yachts uses a flexible total supply model: there is no fixed number of tokens in advance. Instead, the total initial supply is determined by how many tokens are sold during the Pre-Sale, which always represents 32% of the total supply.
In other words:
Once the 9-month Pre-Sale ends, Total Initial Supply = (Tokens sold in Pre-Sale) ÷ 0.32
From that total, the rest of the allocation is calculated proportionally using the percentages below.
Allocation By Category
The initial token allocation is structured as follows:
Pre-Sale
32%
1-year cliff from TGE, then linear monthly unlock over the following 12 months (total 24 months).
Public Sale (CEX/DEX)
33%
Fully liquid at TGE – intended for listings on centralized and decentralized exchanges.
Team
15%
12-month cliff from TGE, then 24-month linear vesting (total 36 months).
Growth Fund
10%
Flexible release to fund expansion, partnerships, marketing and new asset acquisition; governed by clear on-chain/treasury policies.
Treasury Reserve
5%
Flexible release used for strategic, regulatory, and risk-management needs of the protocol and company.
Community Incentives
5%
Flexible, performance-based release for rewards, referrals, ecosystem campaigns and loyalty programs.
Percentages always sum to 100% of the initial supply, but the absolute number of tokens in each bucket will depend on the final amount sold in the 9-month Pre-Sale window.
Vesting Philosophy And Alignment
The vesting structure is designed to reward early conviction while protecting the market from aggressive dumping:
Pre-Sale buyers receive the largest price advantage, and in exchange commit to a 24-month vesting (1 year locked + 1 year linear unlock) – but still participate in net charter profits during vesting through the distribution mechanism.
Public Sale tokens are fully liquid from TGE, ensuring there is trading depth and accessibility once the token lists on exchanges.
Team & Founders vest over 3 years, aligning their incentives with the long-term growth of the fleet, the brand and the token price, not short-term speculation.
Growth, Treasury and Community buckets are intentionally flexible, enabling Investing Yachts to fund expansion, defend the project strategically and reward the ecosystem as it scales.
By tying:
32% of supply to a long-vesting Pre-Sale,
33% to liquid market listings, and
the remainder to long-term building and community growth,
the Initial Token Allocation is structured so that capital, talent and community are all locked into the same long-term vision: turning $YATE into the leading real-world-asset token in the global charter yacht market.
