💎Tokenomics

We understand that TON is now in its initial stage and there are not yet enough Ducks in it that will really take advantage of the utilities we offer.

This is important for us, so the first release of tokens into the market will be limited.

In 2022, only 4,000 tokens will get to the market. Over the next two years, the scaling of services and the growth of the TON audience will let us increase this number to 8-10 thousand NFTs.

Token distribution:

Distribution of tokens at the first stage (2022)

• 1800 Sale

• 1200 Pre-sale

• 400 for contests, drops, partner activities

• 600 left for the team as a fund for motivation and development

How we treat flippers (speculators) 🤔

Surprisingly fine

Flippers are a problem in other projects, but not for us. We see flippers as another way to distribute tokens 🌚

Most projects on TON do not provide a clear utility, so the mint is immediately followed by an extreme resale. And then, when the hype goes down, you see a gradual decline in liquidity and audience interest 😑

In our case, the utility grows naturally over time. For example, an educational project gets bigger by programs and mentors, an accelerator grows in projects, etc 🏔

So, for OpenDucks, speculators are selling not just another picture on the marketplace, but a clear product with growing value and a specific target audience, which makes sales easier.

You don’t have to try your luck on the marketplace praying for +20%, you can just come to a friend, show the project and offer to test TON. Get your thanks! 👍

And when the flipper makes money on this, we will only be happy 💜

Let's say more, we will even help speculators to flip more efficiently 😈

But more on that later...

The task of token distribution is to sell the collection among future service users and speculators (this is inevitable, we are realists) and by the end of the year to form a community where the majority of participants are holders (due to the supplied utility) and users of OpenDucks services.

How we will arrange pre-sales

Now our plan is quite flexible.

It is more important for us to gain an audience in the community, interact more with publics and communities and prepare beta versions of our current products.

We do hold pre-sales of 30-100 pieces from time to time though.

The cost at the start will be 1/7-1/4 (for different tiers) of the sales cost, but it will grow with each new stage. It will help involve the audience gradually with the growth of the product value and at the same time thank those who have been with us from the very beginning (they will be able to resell the tokens on the secondary market)

We will also hold big presales (300-500 pieces each), but only after either promotion or entering a major partnership
