# Tokenomics and Distribution

Aqualibre’s tokenomics strategy is designed to balance utility, sustainability, and value creation for all stakeholders. The AQLA token is the backbone of the platform, driving engagement, incentivising adoption, and ensuring a seamless connection between blockchain technology and the carbon credit market.

## Token Allocation

The total supply of AQLA tokens is **280 million**, strategically allocated to support platform growth, operations, and incentivisation. Below is the detailed allocation:

| **Category**    | **Allocation (%)** | **Tokens (Millions)** | **Details**                                                                |

| **Public Sale** | 37%                | 103.6                 | Fully unlocked at listing to ensure early liquidity for participants.      |
| **Treasury**    | 13%                | 36.4                  | Maintained to support the long-term financial stability of the ecosystem.  |
| **Foundation**  | 15%                | 42.0                  | Funding for environmental initiatives and platform development.            |

| **Team**        | 12%                | 34.6                  | Vesting period aligns founders with the long-term success of the platform. |

## Vesting Schedule

To maintain market stability and encourage long-term participation, vesting schedules have been implemented for specific allocations:

| **Category**  | **Cliff Period** | **Vesting Period** | **Release Schedule**                            |
| ------------- | ---------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Advisors**  | 12 months        | 24 months          | Linear release after the 12-month cliff period. |
| **Marketing** | None             | 24 months          | Gradual release over the 24-month period.       |
| **Founders**  | 12 months        | 24 months          | Linear release after the 12-month cliff period. |

This structure prevents market oversupply while aligning the interests of token holders with Aqualibre's long-term goals.

#### With the carbon credit market projected to grow 40x by 2050, the demand for tokenised carbon credits and AQLA tokens is expected to increase exponentially. By aligning token distribution with the platform’s growth trajectory, Aqualibre ensures sustainable value creation for all participants.

#### Aqualibre’s tokenomics framework is not just a mechanism for value exchange—it’s a cornerstone of the platform’s mission to revolutionise the carbon offset industry. Through strategic allocation, robust utility, and real-world impact, the AQLA token positions Aqualibre as a leader in blockchain-driven environmental solutions.
