10. Tokenomics — Allocation & Vesting
The Cuco token economy is structured for fairness, sustainability, and long-term scalability. A fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000,000 $CUCO (1 trillion) supports gameplay rewards, community incentives, liquidity, and development — while maintaining strong vesting schedules and deflationary mechanics to protect long-term holders.

10.1 Vesting & Lockups (Concise Overview)
Seed Investors: 10% unlocked at TGE, remainder vested linearly over 18 months.
Presale Investors: 20% unlocked at TGE, remainder vested linearly over 12 months.
Team & Operations: 10% unlocked at TGE; 6-month cliff; remainder vests linearly over 42 months.
Community Incentives: 25% unlocked at TGE; remainder vests linearly over 36 months; seasonal unlocks thereafter.
Liquidity Pool: 40% released at TGE; remainder vested linearly over 36 months.
Grand Vault Reserve: Locked in audited contract; released only upon defined on-chain conditions per vault.
10.2 Scarcity Mechanics
Burns: Vault attempts, crafting actions, and certain seasonal events burn tokens directly from circulation.
Locks: Prize pools and the Grand Vault reserves remain locked until verified conditions are met.
Seasonal Alignment: Gameplay reward issuance scales with pack sales and engagement to align incentives and sustainability.
10.3 Season Flow & Investor Message
Seasonal Release Example (high-level):
Gameplay Rewards released each season are proportional to sales and player engagement.
Vault attempts and crafting actions burn programmed amounts of $CUCO, which in turn replenish scarcity or top up the Grand Vault Reserve.
Key Investor Message:
1T supply = accessible, inclusive prize and player economy.
Strong vesting and burn mechanics = predictable scarcity and long-term value alignment.
Seasonal release structure = sustainable token flow and continuous engagement.
Scalable Prize Model
The token economy is designed for long-term scalability. As $CUCO adoption grows, revenue from packs, burns, and community participation feeds directly into expanding prize pools — creating a positive feedback loop:
More players → More rewards → More excitement → More growth.
The 5% Grand Prize Vault Reserve serves as a permanent on-chain guarantee of prize liquidity, scaling dynamically with Gameplay Reward allocations, ecosystem revenue, token price, and burn top-ups.
This hybrid model ensures sustainability while allowing Cuco’s world to expand naturally — where early vaults might start around ~$100K, and over time, the ecosystem can rival major trading card economies with potential headline prizes exceeding $1M+.
