πŸ“ˆTokenomics

A breakdown of our tokenomics.

Our tokenomics have been thoughtfully designed to align incentives, preserve community ownership, and ensure the protocol's long-term sustainability.

Rather than optimizing for short-term gains or external control, our structure prioritizes community empowerment, rewards meaningful participation, and provides the flexibility necessary for responsible growth over time.


The Vault Tokenomics: Built for Long-Term Alignment

The Vault’s tokenomics are designed to ensure sustainability, decentralization, and aligned incentives between the contributors and the broader community.


1. Aligned Vesting Structures

Vesting schedules are structured to reflect both commitment and role within the ecosystem:

  • Team tokens are vested for 4 years

  • Community and user rewards are vested for 1 year

This model ensures that both the team and users are incentivized to contribute meaningfully to the protocol’s long-term success.


2. Community Sovereignty

The Vault was created without external funding, private investors, or pre-sale allocations. As a result:

  • There are no venture capital backers

  • No off-market token deals

  • No pre-sale participants

This ensures that governance and ownership remain entirely in the hands of the community β€” with no outside influence over protocol decisions or direction.


3. Long-Term Strategy

The Vault has never raised capital. This intentional choice allows us to operate without pressure from external stakeholders and remain focused on long-term value creation.

A substantial portion of tokens remains unallocated. These reserves provide strategic flexibility to support future contributors, ecosystem initiatives, and unforeseen opportunities as the protocol evolves.


$V Launch Details

The Vault’s Token Generation Event (TGE) is officially scheduled for July 23, 2025.

To prepare for this milestone, vPoint emissions will end on July 18. This will mark the close of the initial vPoint earning phase.

Here’s what’s happening at launch:

  • We’re deploying our liquidity pool at a 60,000 vSOL Fully Diluted Value (FDV), using 1% of the Total Token Supply (TTS).

  • A total of 600 vSOL will seed the pool, setting the initial price at 0.0006 vSOL per token.

After the launch, users will continue to earn points through farming activities. These points will become especially important at Seasonal Token Emissions


Seasonal Token Emissions

Seasons are defined periods during which users interact with the Vault protocol to accumulate points. At the conclusion of each season, these points are converted into option contracts. Season Lifecycle:

  • Users participate in Vault products (e.g., by providing liquidity).

  • Points are earned based on the level of engagement and activity.

  • At the season’s end, accumulated points are exchanged for option contracts.

  • Each option grants the right to mint $V tokens at a predetermined strike price during a specified exercise window.


Mid-September Options Season

The first Options Seasonal Emission will occur in September, 2025

  • Between September 16 and 30, users will be able to convert their points into options.

  • These options will allow participants to mint an additional 1% of the TTS at a 66,000 vSOL FDV (price: 0.00066 vSOL per token).
