# Token Distribution & Vesting

The $EITHER distribution is structured to balance broad community ownership with long-term protocol sustainability.

| Allocation                | % of Supply | Tokens          | Vesting / Lock Schedule                                |
| ------------------------- | ----------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Community & Public Market | 90%         | 90,000,000      | Fully circulating at launch                            |
| Protocol Incentives Pool  | 5%          | 5,000,000       | Released on a monthly emission schedule over 6 months. |
| Team                      | 5%          | 5,000,000       | 8-month cliff, 16-month vesting                        |
| **Total**                 | **100%**    | **100,000,000** | N/A                                                    |

All team, investor, and treasury unlock schedules are published on-chain at launch and verifiable in real time. No wallet or entity may alter vesting schedules post-publication without a governance supermajority vote.
