## Token Allocation

$SCAN is the native coordination and access token of Scannit, issued as an **SPL token on Solana** with a **hard-capped total supply of 1,000,000,000. No mint beyond the cap**. (Mint authority disabled or time-locked at/after TGE.)

**Design goals.**\
The allocation prioritizes **community & network growth, long-run sustainability**, and **transparent governance**, while aligning founders, partners, and contributors.

### Allocation Summary

* **DAO Treasury — 63% (630,000,000)**
  * **Airdrop** **— 3% (30,000,000)**: Staged claims to bootstrap early, **action-gated growth** (e.g., quests, referrals, targeted campaigns). **Unclaimed** amounts **revert to the DAO Treasury** after the claim window and may be reallocated to growth initiatives via SIPs.
  * **Community Incentive** **— 40% (400,000,000)**: Funds **long-term network incentives** (e.g., Baseline Issuance and Node rewards as defined in Supply Cap & Emissions and Node Economics). **Rewards are verification-based** and use escrowed release to favor sustained quality.
  * **Treasury & Liquidity — 20% (200,000,000)**: Used for **protocol-owned liquidity** (DEXs), CEX **market-maker inventory/loans**, **grants & ecosystem programs**, and **operational runway**.\
    **Policy**: All Treasury spending requires **DAO approval (SIPs)** and follows constitutional guardrails (TWAP conversions, no price targets, public reporting). POL/CEX inventories are **non-voting** assets.<br>
* **Team — 18.5% (185,000,000)**\
  **Vesting: 12-month cliff, then 48-month linear (monthly)** with standard **bad-leaver clawback**. Aligns incentives with long-term network success and talent retention.<br>
* **Partners & Advisors — 18.5% (185,000,000)**\
  **Vesting: 12-month cliff, then 24-month linear (monthly)**, including KPI-based milestones for strategic advisors and standard **for-cause clawback**. Brings capital, distribution, and domain expertise to accelerate growth.

### Conclusion

The $SCAN token allocation strategy is carefully designed to support Scannit’s initial launch, ensure long-term sustainability, and promote a decentralized, community-driven ecosystem. With 60% of tokens allocated to the DAO Treasury, including the initial airdrop, Baseline Issuance, and future community initiatives, Scannit prioritizes community empowerment and decentralized governance. The 18.5% allocation to the team ensures that the platform benefits from ongoing innovation and dedication, while the 18.5% reserved for capital partners and advisors secures the necessary financial and strategic resources.

This balanced allocation strategy positions Scannit for sustained growth, continuous innovation, and the establishment of a robust, engaged community.
