Value Support Plan (2025-2030)
To maintain and grow the value of the $ION token, we have implemented a comprehensive set of strategies and mechanisms. These are designed to ensure stability, support long-term growth, and protect the interests of token holders.
1. Staking Policy (HODL Mechanism)- Token holders will have the opportunity to lock their tokens for flexible periods (e.g., 3, 6, 9, or 12 months) and earn rewards in the form of an annual percentage yield (APY).
- The exact APY rates will be determined closer to the token listing date, taking into account market conditions and ecosystem needs.
- The staking reward pool will be funded from the Reserve Fund, which is replenished through ecosystem revenues, including:
- Subscription sales for the knowledge base.
- Marketplace commissions.
- ENS domain sales and other revenue streams.
2. GameFi Airdrops- Our ecosystem plans to host two GameFi token airdrops per year, introducing character tokens for our upcoming computer and VR games.
- A total of 12 GameFi token airdrops are already scheduled.
- Participants can view and engage with these unique character tokens in the IONIQ Token Airdrop Section, where they serve as NFT tickets to access the $ION airdrop.
- Impact on $ION token value:
- Each GameFi token airdrop will bring new traffic and users into the ecosystem, boosting activity across services, products, and marketplaces.
- This increase in user engagement directly enhances the capitalization and value of the $ION token, further solidifying its position within the ecosystem.
3. Emission Rebalancing Policy- Every 3 months (end of each quarter), the Ecosystem Management Team will conduct rebalancing activities to maintain emission proportions aligned with the tokenomics.
- The goal is to prevent oversupply and reduce the risk of price volatility.
- Rebalancing actions may include:
- Shifting tokens from the liquidity pool to the Reserve Fund.
- Buyback events to stabilize market dynamics.
4. Buyback Events- 20% of the platform’s revenue will be allocated to a buyback pool.
- Buyback events will occur every 6 months, with tokens purchased from the open market and redistributed to the Reserve Fund or burned, depending on ecosystem needs.
5. Token Burn PolicyTo ensure long-term value appreciation, a
planned token burn strategy will be implemented:
- Annual burn rate: 5% of the total supply, starting in the first year.
- The burn will reduce excess supply, support price growth, and protect the interests of long-term investors.
- All burn events will be executed from the Reserve Fund wallet, with complete transparency ensured via blockchain tracking.
Objective of the burn strategy:- Gradual reduction in marketing token requirements as the project grows.
- Reduction in reliance on future investment rounds.
6. Mint Policy- The smart contract allows for controlled minting of tokens, capped at 20% of the initial supply.
- Minting is further limited to 5% per year.
- Any decision to mint tokens will be announced 6 months in advance across all official ecosystem channels, with a clear explanation of the purpose and necessity.
7. Ownership Renouncement Policy- Ownership of the token smart contract will be automatically renounced after achieving the following milestones:
- Stable upward price trajectory of the token.
- Completion of necessary burn and mint events to stabilize the tokenomics.
- The renouncement function is pre-programmed into the smart contract and will activate on September 25, 2030.
Key Takeaways:This structured and transparent approach ensures:
- A robust and fair economy for all participants.
- Long-term stability and growth of the $ION token value.
- Continuous influx of new users and activities through GameFi token airdrops, driving engagement and capitalization.
