# Tokenomics and Presale Structure
### WNTD Token Overview
**WNTD** is the utility token powering the Wanted Network ecosystem.
WNTD is designed to support creator rewards, Mission access, Bounty pools, Safehouse tools, Wanted Spotlight placements, sponsor campaigns, community voting, and ecosystem participation.
WNTD will launch as an **SPL token on Solana**.
Solana was selected to support fast, low-cost transactions for creators, holders, sponsors, and platform participants.
| Token Detail | Information |
| --------------------- | -------------------: |
| Token Name | Wanted Network Token |
| Ticker | WNTD |
| Chain | Solana |
| Token Standard | SPL |
| Total Supply | 1,250,000,000 WNTD |
| Presale Allocation | 500,000,000 WNTD |
| Presale Hard Cap | $2,000,000 |
| Phase 1 Price | $0.001 |
| Presale Average Price | $0.004 |
### Fixed Supply
WNTD has a fixed total supply of:
> **1,250,000,000 WNTD**
There will be no unlimited minting.
The fixed supply is designed to create clear token scarcity while still supporting creator rewards, platform incentives, liquidity, sponsor campaigns, Safehouse access, and Wanted Spotlight utility.
Wanted Network is designed around a circular token economy where WNTD can be earned, staked, spent, recycled, and used across platform activity.
### Token Allocation
The WNTD supply is allocated across seven categories.
| Allocation | % of Supply | Tokens |
| ------------------------------ | ----------: | ---------------------: |
| Presale | 40% | 500,000,000 WNTD |
| Creator Rewards / Bounties | 22% | 275,000,000 WNTD |
| Liquidity | 12% | 150,000,000 WNTD |
| Ecosystem Treasury | 10% | 125,000,000 WNTD |
| Safehouse / Staking Incentives | 7% | 87,500,000 WNTD |
| Team | 6% | 75,000,000 WNTD |
| Advisors / Partners | 3% | 37,500,000 WNTD |
| **Total** | **100%** | **1,250,000,000 WNTD** |
### Allocation Breakdown
#### Presale — 40%
**500,000,000 WNTD**
The presale allocation is designed to distribute WNTD to early participants while funding the launch of Wanted Network.
Presale proceeds are intended to support:
* platform development
* Season 1 activation
* creator Bounties
* marketing
* community growth
* liquidity
* audits and technical infrastructure
* operational runway
* sponsor and creator onboarding
The presale begins at **$0.001** in Phase 1 and increases across later phases.
#### Creator Rewards / Bounties — 22%
**275,000,000 WNTD**
The Creator Rewards / Bounties allocation is reserved for Mission rewards, seasonal Bounties, creator competitions, launch campaigns, community rewards, and future creator incentives.
This allocation is central to the Wanted Network model.
Creators must have a real reason to participate, compete, and return.
The Creator Rewards pool is designed to bootstrap early platform activity while the ecosystem grows toward sponsor-funded Bounties and campaign-based revenue.
This allocation will be released gradually through seasonal campaigns, not distributed all at once.
#### Liquidity — 12%
**150,000,000 WNTD**
The liquidity allocation is reserved for DEX liquidity, exchange support, market launch infrastructure, and future liquidity needs.
Wanted Network intends to lock initial liquidity for a minimum of **12 months**, subject to technical and launch-provider requirements.
Liquidity is intended to support healthier trading conditions after token launch.
#### Ecosystem Treasury — 10%
**125,000,000 WNTD**
The Ecosystem Treasury is reserved for long-term platform growth.
Potential uses include:
* strategic partnerships
* sponsor campaign support
* creator onboarding
* exchange and infrastructure costs
* community campaigns
* future product development
* platform operations
* ecosystem grants
* emergency reserves
Treasury usage should be transparent and aligned with long-term Wanted Network growth.
#### Safehouse / Staking Incentives — 7%
**87,500,000 WNTD**
This allocation supports Safehouse-related incentives, staking-based creator tiers, platform participation rewards, premium feature access, and creator retention mechanics.
WNTD staking is designed to support:
* creator tiers
* premium Mission access
* capped Heat Boosts
* Safehouse tools
* early Bounty access
* platform participation incentives
The goal is to encourage creators and holders to stay active inside the Wanted Network ecosystem.
#### Team — 6%
**75,000,000 WNTD**
The team allocation is reserved for the contributors building, launching, operating, and scaling Wanted Network.
Team tokens will be locked with a **6-month cliff**, followed by **18 months of linear vesting**.
No team tokens are intended to unlock at token launch.
This structure is designed to align the team with long-term platform success instead of short-term speculation.
#### Advisors / Partners — 3%
**37,500,000 WNTD**
The advisors and partners allocation is reserved for strategic support, campaign partnerships, creator network access, technical advisors, marketing partners, and ecosystem contributors.
Advisor and partner allocations should be locked or vested according to contribution agreements.
This allocation is designed to support growth without over-allocating supply away from users, creators, liquidity, and platform incentives.
### Presale Structure
Wanted Network’s presale is structured across four phases.
Each phase increases the token price as the sale progresses.
The purpose of this structure is to reward early participation while funding the platform in stages.
| Phase | Price | Tokens Available | Raise Target |
| --------- | ------------------: | -------------------: | -------------: |
| Phase 1 | $0.001 | 75,000,000 WNTD | $75,000 |
| Phase 2 | $0.002 | 100,000,000 WNTD | $200,000 |
| Phase 3 | $0.004 | 125,000,000 WNTD | $500,000 |
| Phase 4 | $0.006125 | 200,000,000 WNTD | $1,225,000 |
| **Total** | **Average: $0.004** | **500,000,000 WNTD** | **$2,000,000** |
### Presale Hard Cap
The Wanted Network presale hard cap is:
> **$2,000,000**
The hard cap is designed to fund the launch of the platform without creating an oversized early valuation.
Wanted Network does not need to raise excessive capital to begin execution.
The presale is intended to fund the most important launch requirements:
* Season 1 creator campaigns
* platform buildout
* creator rewards
* marketing and distribution
* technical infrastructure
* Solana token deployment
* liquidity
* community operations
* audits and security
* legal and compliance review
### Phase 1 Starting Price
Phase 1 begins at:
> **$0.001 per WNTD**
This starting price is designed to give earliest participants access to the lowest presale price.
Later phases increase as presale allocation is sold.
The phased structure creates a clear difference between earliest participation and later-stage participation.
### Intended Launch Pricing
Wanted Network may target an initial token launch range around:
> **$0.0075 to $0.008 per WNTD**
This intended range is not guaranteed and may change based on market conditions, liquidity planning, exchange or DEX requirements, regulatory review, launch timing, and final presale results.
No token launch price, market price, liquidity outcome, exchange listing, or secondary market performance is guaranteed.
WNTD is a utility token for participation in Wanted Network.
### Presale Unlock Schedule
Presale tokens are intended to unlock gradually to reduce immediate launch pressure and support longer-term ecosystem participation.
| Unlock Event | Unlock Amount |
| ---------------------- | ------------: |
| Token Generation Event | 20% |
| Month 1 | 20% |
| Month 2 | 20% |
| Month 3 | 20% |
| Month 4 | 20% |
| **Total** | **100%** |
This means presale participants receive **20% of purchased WNTD at launch**, with the remaining tokens unlocking monthly over four additional months.
This structure is designed to balance early participant access with ecosystem stability.
### Team Vesting
Team tokens are subject to long-term vesting.
| Team Vesting Detail | Structure |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------: |
| Team Allocation | 75,000,000 WNTD |
| Cliff | 6 months |
| Vesting Period | 18 months linear after cliff |
| Launch Unlock | 0% |
This means the team does not receive liquid WNTD at launch.
The vesting structure is designed to align the team with the long-term success of Wanted Network.
### Creator Rewards Release
The Creator Rewards / Bounties allocation will be released gradually through platform campaigns.
The goal is to fund meaningful creator incentives while avoiding excessive reward emissions.
A potential release structure may include:
| Period | Reward Release Approach |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| First 90 Days | Limited launch Bounties and Season 1 activation |
| Months 4–6 | Expanded Mission rewards and creator campaigns |
| Months 7–12 | Larger seasonal Bounties and sponsor-supported campaigns |
| Beyond 12 Months | Ongoing seasonal and ecosystem-based rewards |
Wanted Network should avoid distributing the entire Creator Rewards pool too quickly.
The long-term value of the platform depends on sustainable creator participation, sponsor-funded campaigns, and WNTD utility beyond early emissions.
### Liquidity Lock
The initial liquidity allocation is intended to be locked for a minimum of:
> **12 months**
The purpose of the liquidity lock is to support market confidence and reduce concerns around early liquidity removal.
Final liquidity structure may depend on the launch platform, Solana DEX requirements, technical implementation, market conditions, and legal review.
### Use of Presale Proceeds
Presale proceeds are intended to fund Wanted Network’s launch and early growth.
A target use-of-funds structure may include:
| Use of Funds | Target Allocation |
| ------------------------------------- | ----------------: |
| Marketing and Distribution | 35% |
| Creator Bounties and Season 1 Rewards | 20% |
| Platform Development | 15% |
| Liquidity Support | 15% |
| Community Operations | 5% |
| Legal, Compliance, and Audits | 5% |
| Treasury / Reserve | 5% |
| **Total** | **100%** |
This structure prioritizes marketing, creator activation, liquidity, and platform development.
Wanted Network’s early success depends on distribution, creator participation, trust, and execution.
### WNTD Recycling and Token Sinks
WNTD is designed to be used inside the platform.
When WNTD is spent on platform features such as Wanted Spotlight, premium access, featured placements, or sponsor campaigns, it may be allocated across ecosystem functions.
A potential allocation for spent WNTD may include:
| Use of Spent WNTD | Example Allocation |
| ------------------------------ | -----------------: |
| Recycled into Future Bounties | 40% |
| Treasury / Operations | 25% |
| Burn | 20% |
| Community / Staking Incentives | 15% |
| **Total** | **100%** |
This structure is intended to create a circular economy where WNTD can be earned, staked, spent, recycled, burned, and reused across future platform activity.
### Tokenomics Philosophy
Wanted Network’s tokenomics are built around four principles.
#### 1. Fixed Supply
WNTD has a fixed supply of 1.25 billion tokens.
#### 2. Meaningful Creator Rewards
A large allocation is reserved for creator Bounties and platform incentives.
Creators must have a real reason to participate.
#### 3. Controlled Unlocks
Presale tokens, team tokens, and creator reward emissions are structured to reduce excessive launch pressure.
#### 4. Real Platform Utility
WNTD is designed to be used for rewards, access, staking, voting, sponsor campaigns, Safehouse tools, and Wanted Spotlight placements.
The goal is not only to distribute WNTD.
The goal is to create reasons for WNTD to be held, used, staked, spent, recycled, and demanded inside the Wanted Network ecosystem.
### Summary
WNTD has a fixed supply of **1.25 billion tokens**.
The presale allocation is **500 million WNTD**, representing **40% of total supply**.
Phase 1 begins at **$0.001**, with later phases increasing as the sale progresses.
The presale hard cap is **$2 million**.
WNTD is designed to power Wanted Network through creator Bounties, Mission access, Safehouse tools, capped Heat Boosts, Wanted Spotlight placements, sponsor campaigns, community voting, and ecosystem incentives.
The tokenomics are designed around a simple goal:
> **Give early participants access to WNTD while preserving enough supply for creators, liquidity, platform growth, and long-term utility.**
