# Distribution & Vesting A fair and transparent token distribution is critical for the long-term success and decentralization of any project. The total supply of 1,000,000,000 $VEIL is allocated across several key categories to ensure a balanced ecosystem that rewards early supporters, funds ongoing development, and incentivizes community participation. *** #### **Token Allocation** * **Angels Investors (10%):** 50,000 USD secured from angel investors to fuel early-stage growth and development. * **Ecosystem & Staking Rewards (10%):** Reserved for funding staking rewards, community grants, and future ecosystem initiatives to encourage growth and participation. * **Protocol Liquidity (75%):** Used to provide initial liquidity on Uniswap to ensure a stable and healthy trading market from day one. * **Team & Advisors (5%):** Allocated to the core team and strategic advisors who are building and guiding the project. *** #### **Vesting Schedules** To align the long-term interests of the team with the community, all tokens allocated to the Team & Advisors are subject to a strict vesting schedule. This ensures that the team is committed to the project's success over many years. * **Team & Advisor Allocation Vesting:** * **Cliff:** 2-month cliff (no tokens are unlocked for the first 2 months after the Token Generation Event). * **Vesting Period:** 12-month linear vesting (tokens unlock on a monthly basis over the 1 years following the cliff). This vesting schedule is designed to prevent market instability and demonstrate our long-term commitment to building DarkVeil. This concludes the Tokenomics section. You can now explore our future plans in the **Community & Ecosystem** section. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
