🔓 HTT Token Unlock Policy
Purpose:
This Token Unlock Policy governs the release of allocated HTT Tokens across various stakeholders such as the team, advisors, partners, marketing, and ecosystem development. It aims to ensure a responsible and transparent distribution that supports long-term growth and avoids market manipulation or dumping.
1. Scope
This policy applies to all locked allocations of HTT Tokens, including but not limited to:
Team & Core Contributors
Advisors
Strategic Partners
Marketing & Community Funds
Staking & Rewards Reserves
It should be read in conjunction with the [HTT Token Inflation & Deflation Policy], which outlines mechanisms such as token freezing, burn schedules, and capped total supply.
2. Principles
⏳ Gradual Release: Unlocking follows a predefined schedule to avoid market oversupply.
🤝 Trust Alignment: Unlock aligns stakeholder interests with long-term token health.
📈 Market Stability: Limits sudden increases in circulating supply.
🔍 Transparency: Vesting and unlock schedules are published and verifiable.
3. Unlock Categories & Schedules
| Allocation | % of Total Supply | Lock Period | Unlock Start | Vesting Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | 15% | 6 months | Month 7 | 12-month linear monthly release |
| Advisors | 5% | 3 months | Month 4 | 6-month linear monthly release |
| Marketing | 10% | 0 months | TGE | 25% at TGE, 5% monthly thereafter |
| Public Sale | 30% | 0 months | TGE | Fully unlocked |
| Liquidity | 20% | 0 months | TGE | Fully unlocked |
| Staking/Rewards | 20% | N/A | Ongoing | Dynamic: based on platform use |
4. Unlock Governance
All unlocks are recorded on-chain.
Unlocking follows smart contract rules or DAO-administered multisig.
Unlock reports published quarterly via [htttoken.com/reporting].
5. Policy Enforcement
Any unauthorized unlocking will be considered a breach of protocol and may lead to DAO sanctions.
Team/advisor wallets are blacklisted from trading during lock period where applicable.
6. Relation to Inflation/Deflation Policy
This policy supports the HTT Inflation & Deflation Control Procedure, ensuring:
Unlocking does not exceed the annual supply cap.
Token release aligns with user adoption and network growth.
Circulation remains within deflationary targets via burning or staking lockups.
7. Amendments
This policy may be updated through DAO vote or community governance. Updates will be reflected on [htttoken.com/tokenomics].
