Tokenomics Strategy

Governance Benefits of the gSQUI Token

The gSQUI token lies at the core of SQUIZITO’s governance model, designed to foster decentralized decision-making and empower the platform’s users—creators, event organizers, and participants. With a maximum supply of 1b tokens, our tokenomics strategy focuses on promoting active governance, incentivizing engagement, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the SQUIZITO platform.

Unlike the CATH token, gSQUI is a pure governance token, specifically intended for voting and participation within the SQUIZITO DAO. There is no transaction fee mechanism associated with gSQUI, reflecting its singular focus on governance rather than broader utility. However, to ensure that the DAO has sufficient resources for future development and growth, 40% of the total gSQUI supply is allocated to the DAO treasury. This allocation provides ample governance-driven capital that can be deployed for platform upgrades, partnerships, and community projects.

By carefully balancing the distribution of gSQUI among key stakeholders, we aim to create an engaged and dynamic governance community that will shape the evolution of the platform for years to come.

Token Allocation Strategy

Our token allocation is designed to foster a balanced, fair, and sustainable ecosystem for gSQUI holders. Here’s an overview of the allocation strategy, tailored to support both the growth and decentralization of the SQUIZITO platform:

Category	Allocation	Vesting Period
DAO Treasury	40%	No vesting (governed by the DAO)
Community Incentives	20%	No vesting (distributed as earned)
Event Creators & Participants	20%	No vesting (distributed as rewards)
Development and Operations	10%	12-24 months linear vesting
Advisors and Partnerships	5%	12 months cliff, followed by 12 months linear vesting
Early Community Members	5%	6 months cliff, followed by 6 months linear vesting

Breakdown of Token Allocation

DAO Treasury: 40%

A substantial portion of the gSQUI token supply is reserved for the SQUIZITO DAO Treasury. These tokens are managed by the community through decentralized governance, with token holders voting on how to allocate funds. The treasury’s primary function is to fund future platform development, support strategic partnerships, and fuel long-term growth initiatives. This allocation ensures the platform’s sustainability and provides resources for continuous innovation.

Community Incentives: 20%

To incentivize active governance and participation, 20% of the gSQUI tokens are set aside for community rewards. Token holders will be able to earn gSQUI by engaging in governance voting, submitting proposals, participating in community discussions, and contributing to the platform’s development. This allocation fosters long-term involvement and helps ensure the governance process is truly decentralized.

Event Creators & Participants: 20%

One of the unique features of the SQUIZITO platform is rewarding users who create experiences and events. Each time a creator or organizer launches a new event on the platform, they will receive gSQUI tokens as a reward. This incentive encourages continuous content creation and drives engagement across the ecosystem, promoting a dynamic and thriving marketplace.

Development and Operations: 10%

This allocation is reserved for the ongoing development, maintenance, and operational needs of the SQUIZITO platform. These funds will support future upgrades, feature additions, and the scaling of the platform to accommodate a growing user base. By reserving tokens for development, SQUIZITO ensures that the platform can evolve and remain competitive in the Web3 space.

Advisors and Partnerships: 5%

A portion of the token supply is reserved for strategic advisors and partners who contribute to the growth and success of SQUIZITO. These tokens will be distributed to those who provide critical resources, guidance, or technical expertise to the platform, helping drive long-term development and expansion.

Early Community Members: 5%

Early supporters and contributors play a crucial role in the initial growth of the SQUIZITO platform. To reward these early adopters, 5% of the token supply is allocated for airdrops, private sales, and other incentives. This helps build an engaged and loyal user base, further decentralizing the governance structure from the outset.
