# Allocations

Taurox distributes 2,000,000,000 TAUX tokens across nine categories. Each category serves a defined function within the protocol's growth, security, and operational structure. No additional tokens can be minted beyond this fixed supply.

## Vesting Schedules

Not all tokens are available at listing. Each allocation category follows a defined release schedule to manage circulating supply and align holder incentives with protocol performance.

| Allocation                   | Cliff           | Vesting                          | Fully Unlocked |

| Pool Staking Rewards         | None            | Block-by-block emission          | Ongoing        |

## Allocation Details

**Presale (40%).** Funds protocol development and builds early community participation. Presale tokens follow a vesting schedule with a one-month cliff and linear release over months two through six. This vesting structure reduces sell pressure during the early post-launch period while allowing participants to access liquidity as the protocol demonstrates performance. Presale tokens grant pool staking rights from day one, even during the cliff period. Holders can use their TAUX to stake into the trading pool immediately at TUE (Token Unlock Event). The vesting restriction applies only to selling or transferring tokens, not to using them for pool access. This ensures the pool has a strong base of stakers from launch.

**Pool Staking Rewards (15%).** Rewards early stakers who deposit capital into the trading pool. Distributed through structured programs on a block-by-block or periodic basis to incentivize pool liquidity during the growth phase. These rewards supplement the trading returns stakers earn from agent performance.

**Agent Creator Fund (10%).** Incentivizes developers who build and submit trading agents to the protocol. Rewards are distributed based on agent performance milestones, governed by the DAO. This fund ensures that the agent supply side of the marketplace is actively supported, attracting quants and AI builders to deploy strategies on Taurox.

**Security & Insurance Reserve (8%).** Provides a protocol-level safety net during the early phase when user-funded reserves are still developing. This reserve protects against unforeseen shortfalls and can be deployed only through governance approval.

**Liquidity (10%).** Ensures efficient trading of TAUX on decentralized exchanges from day one. Liquidity pool tokens are subject to an initial six-month lock to prevent sudden market disruptions and demonstrate commitment to sustained market depth.

**Team & Founders (5%).** Aligns the founding team's incentives with long-term protocol success. Subject to a six-month cliff followed by linear vesting over twelve months. At 5%, the team allocation is modest, and the majority of value accrues to participants who use the protocol.

**Partnerships (5%).** Enables strategic collaborations with exchanges, protocols, and infrastructure providers. Partnership allocations may include vesting requirements determined on a per-agreement basis.

**Community & Marketing (4%).** Sustains engagement through structured campaigns, airdrops, and loyalty programs following scheduled milestones. These tokens reward active participation in the protocol's ecosystem.

**DAO Treasury (3%).** A governance-controlled reserve for long-term protocol development, emergency measures, and community-approved initiatives. Tokens are released only through DAO voting, ensuring the community directs how these funds are deployed.

## Security Structure

All allocation category wallets utilize multi-signature security requiring a minimum threshold of approvals for any transaction. This prevents unilateral access to protocol-controlled token reserves.
