The vesting framework is designed to balance: * initial network availability; * ecosystem development; * liquidity requirements; * contributor alignment; * treasury discipline; * progressive token distribution. Whitepaper 3.0 makes **no changes** to Tapzi's existing published vesting schedule. > **The network strategy is evolving. The published token release commitments remain unchanged.** *** ### 1. Vesting Overview Tapzi has a fixed maximum supply of: ### **5,000,000,000 TAPZI** Each allocation has its own combination of: #### TGE Unlock The amount available at Token Generation Event. #### Cliff A period during which no additional tokens from that allocation become available. #### Vesting The period over which the remaining applicable allocation is progressively released. The complete existing schedule is: | Allocation | Total Allocation | TGE Unlock | TGE % | Cliff | Vesting Duration | | --------------------------- | ---------------: | ------------: | ----: | --------: | ---------------: | | **Presale** | 1,000,000,000 | 250,000,000 | 25% | 2 months | 4 months | | **Airdrop & Bonuses** | 500,000,000 | 50,000,000 | 10% | 2 months | 4 months | | **Ecosystem & Development** | 500,000,000 | 100,000,000 | 20% | 1 month | 6 months | | **Team** | 500,000,000 | 0 | 0% | 12 months | 18 months | | **Marketing** | 500,000,000 | 50,000,000 | 10% | 1 month | 6 months | | **Liquidity Pool** | 1,000,000,000 | 1,000,000,000 | 100% | None | None | | **Locked Treasury** | 750,000,000 | 0 | 0% | 12 months | 24 months | | **User Rewards** | 250,000,000 | 37,500,000 | 15% | 2 months | 12 months | These schedules remain unchanged under Whitepaper 3.0. For the allocation categories and percentages, see [Token Allocation Breakdown](/tokenomics/token-allocation-breakdown.md). *** ### 2. Understanding the Release Sequence For allocations subject to a cliff and vesting period, the general sequence is: ``` TOKEN GENERATION EVENT │ ▼ INITIAL TGE UNLOCK │ ▼ CLIFF (no additional scheduled release) │ ▼ VESTING PERIOD │ ▼ REMAINING ALLOCATION RELEASED ACCORDING TO ITS SCHEDULE ``` Different allocations use different schedules because they serve different purposes within the ecosystem. *** ### 3. Presale **Total Allocation:** 1,000,000,000 TAPZI **Share of Total Supply:** 20% #### TGE Unlock **250,000,000 TAPZI: 25% of the Presale allocation** #### Cliff **2 months** #### Vesting **4 months** The remaining Presale allocation is subject to the existing published vesting schedule following the cliff. Whitepaper 3.0 does not: * increase the TGE unlock; * shorten the cliff; * shorten the vesting period; * create an accelerated Plan 3 unlock. The strategic expansion of Tapzi does not alter Presale vesting. *** ### 4. Airdrop & Bonuses **Total Allocation:** 500,000,000 TAPZI **Share of Total Supply:** 10% #### TGE Unlock **50,000,000 TAPZI: 10%** #### Cliff **2 months** #### Vesting **4 months** This allocation supports eligible community, referral, promotional, and bonus initiatives according to their applicable terms. Whitepaper 3.0 does not create an additional airdrop allocation. *** ### 5. Ecosystem & Development **Total Allocation:** 500,000,000 TAPZI **Share of Total Supply:** 10% #### TGE Unlock **100,000,000 TAPZI: 20%** #### Cliff **1 month** #### Vesting **6 months** This allocation supports Tapzi ecosystem and development requirements within the existing token framework. The expansion into: * Tapzi Studio; * Tournament Cloud; * GameBuilder; * creator infrastructure; * additional distribution; * other Plan 3 initiatives; does not create a new token allocation or alter this release schedule. *** ### 6. Team **Total Allocation:** 500,000,000 TAPZI **Share of Total Supply:** 10% #### TGE Unlock **0 TAPZI: 0%** #### Cliff **12 months** #### Vesting **18 months** No Team tokens are scheduled for release at TGE. The 12-month cliff provides a period before Team allocation vesting begins. Following the cliff, the allocation is subject to the existing 18-month vesting schedule. Whitepaper 3.0 does not: * increase the Team allocation; * provide an early Team unlock; * reduce the cliff; * accelerate the 18-month vesting schedule. *** ### 7. Marketing **Total Allocation:** 500,000,000 TAPZI **Share of Total Supply:** 10% #### TGE Unlock **50,000,000 TAPZI: 10%** #### Cliff **1 month** #### Vesting **6 months** This allocation supports eligible marketing, ecosystem-awareness, partnership, and user-acquisition initiatives. The schedule remains unchanged as Tapzi's positioning expands under Whitepaper 3.0. *** ### 8. Liquidity Pool **Total Allocation:** 1,000,000,000 TAPZI **Share of Total Supply:** 20% #### TGE Availability **1,000,000,000 TAPZI: 100%** #### Cliff **None** #### Vesting **None** The Liquidity Pool allocation is available according to the existing published tokenomics framework. Availability of this allocation should not be interpreted as a guarantee of: * exchange listing; * token liquidity; * trading volume; * token price; * price stability. Actual liquidity conditions depend on market and implementation factors. *** ### 9. Locked Treasury **Total Allocation:** 750,000,000 TAPZI **Share of Total Supply:** 15% #### TGE Unlock **0 TAPZI: 0%** #### Cliff **12 months** #### Vesting **24 months** The Locked Treasury is structured as a long-term ecosystem reserve. No treasury tokens are scheduled for release at TGE. Whitepaper 3.0 does not: * increase the Treasury allocation; * remove its 12-month cliff; * reduce its 24-month vesting period; * create a separate Plan 3 treasury allocation. Future treasury-governance improvements may affect **how treasury assets are authorized or managed**, but they do not change this token release schedule. *** ### 10. User Rewards **Total Allocation:** 250,000,000 TAPZI **Share of Total Supply:** 5% #### TGE Unlock **37,500,000 TAPZI: 15%** #### Cliff **2 months** #### Vesting **12 months** The User Rewards allocation supports eligible ecosystem incentive programs such as applicable: * tournaments; * leaderboard rewards; * community initiatives; * user participation programs. Whitepaper 3.0 does not create another reward allocation or increase this 5% allocation. *** ### 11. TGE Availability Summary The scheduled TGE availability across the existing allocations is: | Allocation | TGE Unlock | | ------------------------------------ | ----------------------: | | Presale | 250,000,000 TAPZI | | Airdrop & Bonuses | 50,000,000 TAPZI | | Ecosystem & Development | 100,000,000 TAPZI | | Team | 0 TAPZI | | Marketing | 50,000,000 TAPZI | | Liquidity Pool | 1,000,000,000 TAPZI | | Locked Treasury | 0 TAPZI | | User Rewards | 37,500,000 TAPZI | | **Total Scheduled TGE Availability** | **1,487,500,000 TAPZI** | This equals **29.75% of the fixed maximum supply**. #### Important **TGE availability is not automatically identical to circulating supply.** Tokens allocated for purposes such as liquidity or ecosystem operations may have different practical circulation characteristics. Therefore, any public circulating-supply figure should be based on actual token availability and on-chain conditions at the relevant time rather than simply treating every TGE-available token as circulating. *** ### 12. Cliff Summary Two allocations use the longest initial cliff: #### Team **12 months** #### Locked Treasury **12 months** Other allocations use shorter cliffs based on their ecosystem function: #### Presale 2 months #### Airdrop & Bonuses 2 months #### Ecosystem & Development 1 month #### Marketing 1 month #### User Rewards 2 months #### Liquidity Pool No cliff These periods remain unchanged. *** ### 13. Vesting Is Not New Token Creation Vesting controls when existing tokens become available. It does **not** increase the maximum supply. For example: A token becoming unlocked through vesting: **does not create a new token** and **does not change the allocation percentage.** It changes only the availability of tokens already included within the fixed: ### **5,000,000,000 TAPZI supply** This distinction is important when evaluating future circulating supply. *** ### 14. Whitepaper 3.0 Does Not Reset Vesting The transition from Tapzi's original whitepaper to Whitepaper 3.0 is a strategic evolution of the ecosystem. It is **not a new token launch**. Whitepaper 3.0 therefore does not: * restart vesting clocks; * reset cliffs; * extend existing schedules; * accelerate existing schedules; * replace existing allocations; * issue a second token; * create additional supply. Any vesting timing that depends on TGE remains tied to the applicable TGE event and canonical token documentation. *** ### 15. Plan 3 Products Do Not Receive New Allocations The expanded Tapzi architecture may include: * Tapzi Studio; * Tournament Cloud; * Tapzi GameBuilder; * creator services; * additional distribution channels; * Tapzi Pay; * future settlement infrastructure research; * AI-agent infrastructure research. None of these products automatically receives a new token allocation. Their development does not modify the vesting table on this page. The principle remains: > **New utility does not mean new supply. New products do not mean new allocations.** *** ### 16. Vesting & Treasury Governance Are Different Token vesting defines: > **When tokens are eligible to become available.** Treasury governance defines: > **Who can authorize the use of treasury-controlled assets and under what controls.** These concepts should not be confused. Whitepaper 3.0 may introduce stronger future treasury-control architecture such as: * multisignature authorization; * greater transparency; * role separation; * independently verifiable controls; * timelocks where implemented. Those governance mechanisms do not change: * the Locked Treasury allocation; * its 12-month cliff; * its 24-month vesting schedule. *** ### 17. Vesting Verification Where technically available, Tapzi intends to make vesting information independently verifiable through the **Tapzi Proof Center**. Relevant evidence may include: * vesting contract addresses; * blockchain explorer links; * token balances; * release transactions; * applicable contract source code; * audit references. Only verified official contracts should be presented as canonical. No contract address should be inferred from an unofficial source. *** ### 18. Unlock Transparency As the token lifecycle progresses, Tapzi should maintain a clear public view of material unlock information. Where practical, this may include: #### Current Locked Amount Tokens still subject to applicable restrictions. #### Released Amount Tokens released according to the canonical schedule. #### Next Scheduled Unlock The next material release event where applicable. #### Allocation Source The token category from which the release occurs. #### Verification Relevant on-chain evidence where available. This information can be surfaced through the Proof Center without changing the underlying vesting schedule. *** ### 19. One Canonical Vesting Schedule This page should be treated as the **canonical public TAPZI vesting schedule**. The same numbers should be used across: * Tapzi.io; * Tapzi Docs; * presale interfaces; * token dashboards; * investor materials; * community communications. If another Tapzi-controlled page contains conflicting vesting information, that page should be corrected. This schedule should not be changed merely to reconcile inconsistent marketing copy. *** ### 20. Canonical Vesting Table For clarity, the locked Whitepaper 3.0 schedule is: | Allocation | TGE % | Cliff | Vesting | | --------------------------- | -------: | ------------: | ------------: | | **Presale** | **25%** | **2 months** | **4 months** | | **Airdrop & Bonuses** | **10%** | **2 months** | **4 months** | | **Ecosystem & Development** | **20%** | **1 month** | **6 months** | | **Team** | **0%** | **12 months** | **18 months** | | **Marketing** | **10%** | **1 month** | **6 months** | | **Liquidity Pool** | **100%** | **None** | **None** | | **Locked Treasury** | **0%** | **12 months** | **24 months** | | **User Rewards** | **15%** | **2 months** | **12 months** | > **Whitepaper 3.0 expands Tapzi's network. It does not change Tapzi's token-release commitments.**
