PUNK TOKEN

Overview

Punkpoll is an innovative decentralized voting and polling platform that turns participation itself into an act that creates value—building a new ecosystem where participants, content providers, and brands all benefit.

  • PUNK TOKEN: The platform’s base token, used broadly for fee payments, participation rewards, governance decisions, and as collateral for channel tokens.

Punkpoll’s tokenomics are participant- and community-centric, pursuing three goals as the number of users and channel participants grows: flexible, scalable growth; strong liquidity and community for channel tokens; and meaningful incentives for ecosystem contributors.

PUNK Token & Roles

  • Issuer: Punkpoll
  • Total Supply: 100,000,000 (baseline assuming 1,000,000 users; up to 1,000,000,000 if users exceed 1,000,000)
  • Token Type: Utility token
  • Distribution: Core Team & Ecosystem (investors, platform, foundation operations) 35%; DEX (liquidity provision) 5%; Users & Community 60%

Users & Community — 60%

  • Community incentives (user participation rewards, channel rewards).
  • Designed so tokens are earned through real participation and activity—realizing Punkpoll’s philosophy that “participation itself creates value.”
  • Used for beta/official launch events, governance vote rewards, and partner collaboration campaigns.
  • By allocating more stake to the community, we secure decentralization and self-sustaining growth drivers.
  • Encourage token holders to feel genuine ownership: “I am an owner of the project.”

DEX Liquidity — 5%

  • Deposit 5% into liquidity pools to establish a strong liquidity base for channel tokens and ensure smooth buying and selling.
  • Minimize slippage to build trust among early users and investors.

Core Team & Ecosystem — 35%

  • Secures resources for early ecosystem contributors: the team, investors, and foundation operations.
  • Allocated to development, operations, marketing, legal, partnerships, and incentives for external VCs/advisors—encouraging long‑term commitment to the project.
  • The majority of this 35% is locked with a 1‑year cliff + 2–4 years vesting, focusing rewards on platform growth rather than short‑term profit‑taking.
  • 1% of the 35% is reserved for devoted contributors with no vesting period.

Core Functions

  • Platform utility token: Used for poll/survey request fees, advertising/subscription payments, and various rewards.
  • Staked collateral: When a new media channel is opened, a set amount of PUNK is staked—this determines the initial value of the channel token.
  • Governance (optional): Grants rights to participate in platform decisions (e.g., adjusting fee rates, changing burn ratios); governance parameters are configurable by design.
