Supply and allocation
Review the fixed genesis allocation across contribution, treasury, founding work, Backers, and liquidity.
ZYNC has a fixed genesis supply with no standing mint role. The ratified allocation is:
| Bucket | Share | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Open Contribution Pool | 55% | Distributed through qualifying verified contribution across every contributor class. |
| Community Treasury | 20% | Governed reserves, public goods, ecosystem work, and future contribution programs. |
| Founding Contributor | 12% | Recognizes three years of self-funded foundational work and continued stewardship under vesting and sale limits. |
| Future Core Contributors | 3% | Reserved for future maintainers, security contributors, designers, operators, and protocol stewards. |
| Backers | 5% | Disclosed network financing and strategic launch support. |
| Protocol Liquidity | 5% | Reserved for a governed, policy-approved release context. |
The Open Contribution Pool is the largest allocation because contribution is the center of the product model. Members, operators, Sponsors, verifiers, moderators, ambassadors, creators, maintainers, and the founding developer can all be Contributors. Technical work is only one contribution class.
Allocation does not describe immediate circulation. Vesting, non-transferability, emission, and release rules determine when a bucket can move and for what purpose.
Founding Contributor sale limits
The 12% allocation is a lifetime ceiling, not immediate float. No founder sale can occur before governed release or vesting. During the first operating year, founder sales are capped at 1% of total supply. Each rolling quarter is also capped at the lower of 0.25% of total supply or 10% of legitimate market volume. The sale wallet is public and a sale receives 30 days' notice.
A founder secondary sale pays the Founding Contributor from vested allocation. A network financing sale funds ZYNC and uses the Backers allocation or a separately governed treasury authorization. They are different flows and must be reported separately.
Member-facing material must not turn these percentages into projected financial value. This page explains structure and controls only.
