# Tokenomics and Presale Structure

Supply, allocations, presale pricing, intended unlocks, vesting, liquidity and direct-token recycling.

![Wanted Network — Tokenomics and Presale Structure](https://2514318049-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FCMxTukxnFAxcPUI9JFXq%2Fuploads%2FYkDuLV6ZxbRkvIrs3SC5%2FTokenomics%20and%20Presale%20Structure.png?alt=media\&token=f8629369-a68f-4fa7-ad20-07f9f9909763)

**This page is the quantitative reference for WNTD supply, allocations, the four-phase presale, intended unlocks, team vesting and the separate illustrative token-recycling model.**

Documented tokenomics, intended launch arrangements and illustrative examples are identified separately. The tables are not evidence that a mint, vesting contract, liquidity lock or market launch has already been deployed.

## WNTD overview

| Token detail            |          Information |
| ----------------------- | -------------------: |
| Token name              | Wanted Network Token |
| Ticker                  |                 WNTD |
| Chain                   |               Solana |
| Token standard          |                  SPL |
| Documented 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 |

WNTD is planned as an SPL token on Solana. The network was selected to support the intended low-cost, high-volume use of creator rewards, claims and platform interactions.

## Fixed supply and allocations

The documented fixed supply is **1,250,000,000 WNTD**, with no unlimited minting. The allocation table describes that supply plan; completed burns, where implemented, permanently reduce total token supply. A supply plan does not certify current circulating supply or deployed mint controls.

| Allocation                     | Share 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** |

### Purpose of each allocation

**Presale — 40%.** Distributes WNTD to early participants and supports launch funding. Intended uses include development, Season 1, creator Bounties, marketing, community growth, liquidity, audits, infrastructure, operational runway and sponsor or creator onboarding.

**Creator Rewards / Bounties — 22%.** Reserved for Missions, seasonal Bounties, creator competitions, launch campaigns, community rewards and future incentives. The pool is intended to bootstrap participation and be released gradually, not all at once, while the network develops sponsor-funded activity.

**Liquidity — 12%.** Reserved for DEX liquidity, exchange support, market-launch infrastructure and future liquidity requirements. Initial liquidity is intended to be locked for at least 12 months, subject to the qualifications below.

**Ecosystem Treasury — 10%.** Supports partnerships, sponsor campaigns, creator onboarding, exchange and infrastructure costs, community campaigns, product development, operations, ecosystem grants and emergency reserves. Treasury use should be transparent and aligned with long-term development.

**Safehouse / Staking Incentives — 7%.** Supports creator tiers, premium access, capped Heat benefits, Safehouse tools, early Bounty access, participation incentives and retention.

**Team — 6%.** Reserved for contributors building and operating Wanted Network. The documented vesting structure is a six-month cliff followed by 18 months of linear vesting, with no team unlock intended at token launch.

**Advisors / Partners — 3%.** Reserved for strategic support, campaign partnerships, creator-network access, technical or marketing advisors and ecosystem contributors. Allocations should be locked or vested according to contribution agreements; no single numerical advisor schedule is specified here.

## Four-phase presale

| Phase     |      Price per WNTD |     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** |

The documented hard cap is **$2,000,000**. Phase 1 starts at **$0.001**, with later phases increasing as the sale progresses. The **$0.004** average is the allocation-weighted average across the full four-phase schedule, not a separate phase price or a market-price forecast.

The presale is intended to support platform buildout, Season 1 creator activity, rewards, marketing, distribution, technical infrastructure, Solana deployment, liquidity, community operations, security, audits and legal or compliance review.

## Intended launch pricing

The previously documented intended launch range is **$0.0075 to $0.008 per WNTD**.

This is a conditional target, not a guaranteed opening or secondary-market price. It may change with market conditions, liquidity planning, exchange or DEX requirements, legal or regulatory review, launch timing and final presale results. It is not a minimum price, promised return or assurance of an exchange listing.

## Presale unlock schedule

The intended schedule releases **20% at the Token Generation Event**, followed by **20% in each of the next four months**.

| Unlock event           | Share of purchased WNTD |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------: |
| Token Generation Event |                     20% |
| Month 1                |                     20% |
| Month 2                |                     20% |
| Month 3                |                     20% |
| Month 4                |                     20% |
| **Total**              |                **100%** |

An unlock is the scheduled release of restricted tokens. It is not a guarantee of liquidity or price. Final claim procedures and launch arrangements must be communicated through official channels. The baseline schedule does not specify an exact calendar date on this page.

## Team vesting

| Team vesting detail |             Documented structure |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------: |
| Team allocation     |                  75,000,000 WNTD |
| Cliff               |                         6 months |
| Vesting period      | 18 months linear after the cliff |
| Launch unlock       |                               0% |

The structure is intended to align team access with longer-term execution. The schedule is not, by itself, proof that a particular on-chain vesting contract has been deployed.

## Creator Rewards release

The Creator Rewards allocation is intended to be released gradually through campaigns. The following remains a **potential release approach**, not a fixed emissions schedule:

| Period           | Potential 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.             |

Individual Bounty vesting is a separate matter. The small, medium and large reward examples are preserved in [Creator Rewards and Bounty Economy](/wanted-network-docs/creator-rewards-and-bounty-economy.md#reward-vesting).

## Intended liquidity lock

Wanted Network intends to lock initial liquidity for a minimum of **12 months**. Final arrangements may depend on launch-provider requirements, Solana DEX requirements, technical implementation, market conditions and legal review.

The intention and token allocation do not establish that liquidity has already been deployed or locked. A lock does not guarantee trading volume, a stable price or an ability to sell without slippage.

## Target use of presale proceeds

This is a **target use-of-funds structure**, distinct from the allocation of WNTD supply and from Sponsor Campaign Revenue.

| 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%** |

For example, the 12% token-supply allocation for Liquidity and the 15% target use of proceeds for Liquidity Support refer to different assets and bases. They are not conflicting percentages of the same pool.

## WNTD recycling and token sinks

When users directly spend WNTD on platform functionality, the tokens may support future Bounties, treasury or operations, burns and community or staking incentives. Potential ecosystem uses also include creator grants and related platform support.

The existing **illustrative**, rather than committed or universally implemented, allocation is:

| Use of directly spent WNTD     | Example allocation |
| ------------------------------ | -----------------: |
| Recycled into Future Bounties  |                40% |
| Treasury / Operations          |                25% |
| Burn                           |                20% |
| Community / Staking Incentives |                15% |
| **Total**                      |           **100%** |

This example is intended to explain recycling and token sinks rather than a one-way emissions model. Recycling returns tokens to potential use; locking restricts access; burning permanently reduces supply. They are not interchangeable actions.

### Separate from Sponsor Campaign economics

Qualifying external advertiser revenue is governed by the [60 / 20 / 15 / 5 Sponsor Campaign Economy](/wanted-network-docs/sponsor-campaign-economy.md), including its definition of Eligible Campaign Revenue and the allocation to open-market WNTD purchases followed by burns.

The recycling table allocates directly spent tokens. The sponsor table allocates eligible advertiser revenue. **They are not additive allocations of the same receipt.**

Earlier descriptions included sponsor activity within possible direct-token recycling. A combined treatment for a campaign paid directly in WNTD is not defined in this whitepaper. Neither table should be treated as an instruction to apply both splits to the same payment or as an undocumented conversion or settlement rule. That case requires explicit campaign settlement terms.

## Reading the tokenomics together

The design combines fixed supply, a designated creator-reward allocation, controlled intended unlocks and documented utility. Its objective is to support creator participation, liquidity, development and recurring platform activity.

The presale proceeds model, token-supply allocations, reward unlocks, direct-token recycling and Sponsor Campaign Economy answer different questions. Keeping their bases separate is essential to understanding the economics.

None of these structures guarantees adoption, price appreciation, returns or sustainable advertiser demand. Read [WNTD Token Utility](/wanted-network-docs/wntd-token-utility.md), [Risk Factors](/wanted-network-docs/risk-factors.md) and the [Legal and Project Disclaimer](/wanted-network-docs/legal-and-project-disclaimer.md).
