What is a Founder

Founders are early participants who joined before Genesis (2023) — when there was no public distribution, no market activation, and no DEX listing.


They carried the earliest risk and time cost. Founders are treated as long-term trust capital — not short-term liquidity.

The purpose of the Founders program is continuity: to honor early support while keeping the system safe and launch-orderly for everyone entering later.

Important

The original allocation is delivered immediately at cliff. Only the bonus portion is subject to vesting. After deployment, distribution does not require manual signatures or approvals by recipients. Distribution is executed automatically by the protocol on the scheduled cadence.

Definition

Cliff means the first moment an eligible Founder can receive the base allocation. Vesting means the bonus allocation is distributed over time according to a fixed schedule.

Example (non-binding)

If a Founder has a base allocation of X, the bonus pool corresponds to 0.7×X distributed over 6 months in weekly slices. Exact mechanics are defined in Docs and code.

Forward-only

If future changes are required, they apply to future behavior only. Past records are not retroactively rewritten.

Distribution Mechanics

Founder eligibility and base amounts are fixed via snapshot. Bonus supply is pre-allocated into a dedicated pool. Vesting is enforced on-chain and is distributed automatically by the protocol on the scheduled cadence.

  • Unit of account: token quantity (no USD recalculation).
  • Cliff is immediate; only the bonus portion is time-distributed.
  • Weekly cadence: Wednesday (UTC), fixed for 6 months.
  • If a scheduled distribution cannot be delivered due to protocol constraints, it accrues and is delivered when possible under protocol rules.

Liquidity & Market Policy

Prior to official market activation, transfers/swaps/liquidity provisioning are restricted to ensure an orderly launch and to prevent market-driven risks from affecting system operation.

  • Season 1: no DEX listing, swaps disabled, user LP disabled.
  • Protocol may provision liquidity in advance (standby) while swaps remain disabled.
  • Market activation uses a manual, one-time enable action (not time-scheduled) to reduce MEV targeting.

Founder Emblem & Karma

Every Founder receives a Founder-exclusive Emblem.

This is a non-transferable identity marker that represents early participation and continuity.

In PUDELVERSE Web Game, Founders are granted Karma 70+ as a baseline recognition.

Notes

The emblem is an identity layer (not a yield instrument). Karma is a gameplay reputation parameter. Binding constraints and definitions live in Docs.

FAQ

Is Founders allocation priced in USD? +
No. Allocation is expressed in token quantity. The system does not reprice historical allocations based on USD.
Can vesting be accelerated? +
Vesting follows a fixed schedule to ensure predictability and orderly market transition. Any future changes would apply forward only.
What happens if I do not receive a weekly distribution? +
Founders distributions are executed automatically by the protocol. If a scheduled distribution cannot be delivered due to protocol constraints, it accrues and is delivered when possible under protocol rules.
When is market trading enabled? +
Market activation is a manual, one-time enable action (not time-scheduled). Current live state is always shown on STATUS.
