objects-align-rightInitial 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:

Category
% of Total Supply
Vesting/Liquidity

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.
