R&D: Development for SPN, including core team and community developers. Funds will be liquidated as our company milestones are met.
Marketing: We will encourage organic community growth and launch an incentivized referral program. Thus, we have a much smaller marketing budget than other similarly situated companies. Traditional media channels and Sapien will be used to reach our user base.
Legal: Compliance with the SEC and other regulatory entities will be a top priority for our token. Our budget is allocated to cover existing and any new regulatory laws applicable to SPN.
Security Audits: A separate budget has been allocated for continually auditing any new smart contracts our team develops, both for the SPN token and the Sapien platform.
Distribution of Tokens
45% of SPN created during our token sale will be reserved for contributors who send ETH to the smart contract address.
20% of SPN will be locked in a smart contract for the founders and team, subject to a 6-month cliff and 24 month vesting period.
30% will go to our platform reserve which will be distributed to augment platform growth, distributed via Sapien, or burned to control inflation.
Up to 5% will be reserved for our bounty program, contingent on the total number of participants in the campaign.
