Blackswan Tokenomics And Roadmap

Blackswan Token
3 min readJul 5, 2021

Cryptocurrency markets are heavily correlated and full of downside tail risk. While there are many tokens competing to achieve the highest positive growth during these periods, virtually none of the projects plan for the opposite, extreme contraction during market cycles.

Blackswan maintains stability not only during market growth cycles but unleashes growth during contractionary market periods with the aim to move as an anti-fragile asset or uncertainty index.

Tokenomics

We believe that a successful and fair distribution of our token is essential to the long term success of the project. There is no better form of community building and marketing than allowing the very participants of the project to succeed together. What is outlined below is our best efforts in trying to achieve that.

Founder and Development allocation will be 10% and 20% respectively within a 2 year vesting period. Development allocation will be held within a multi-sig wallet controlled by the founders of the project in order to maintain continued development within the project. This means that the team will hold less than 2.5% of the supply at launch.

For reference TGE = “Token Generation Event”.

Of the 70% community allocation, it is broken down into 3 categories.

Liquidity incentives are put in place for a successful launch of the Blackswan Fund and Blackswan Lake. At launch, a USDC staking pool will be available, where fees are siphoned 50% into the Blackswan Fund and 50% for development. The other portion of liquidity incentives are used in the Blackswan Lake in order to distribute aggressive passive rewards, until normal operation of the Blackswan Fund and Blackswan Lake are activated.

The launchpad sale at Oxbull will occur on July 8–9th and the Quickswap listing will occur thereafter. For more information, read the Oxbull article here.

Liquidity will go directly to a Quickswap LP position with $100k USDC raised from the launchpad sale. This position will be locked with details specified in a Twitter / Telegram post after it is completed.
