Notcoin (NOT) Tokenomika

Notcoin ($NOT) is a community-driven token built on the TON blockchain, primarily known for its "tap-to-earn" game designed to onboard users into the Web3 ecosystem. The token economics are structured around a high initial community allocation and a deflationary mechanism through token burning.

Issuance Mechanism

The issuance mechanism for Notcoin is characterized by a fixed total supply and a community-centric distribution model, rather than continuous inflation or KPI-driven issuance seen in some other protocols.

• Total Supply: Notcoin has a total supply of 102.7 billion NOT tokens.
• Conversion Ratio: The token was launched with a 1,000:1 conversion ratio, meaning every 1,000 in-game Notcoins earned during the beta phase converted to 1 NOT token upon the token launch.
• Circulating Supply: The circulating supply is currently reported as 100% of the total supply, suggesting all tokens are in circulation or allocated.

Allocation Mechanism

The allocation strategy for Notcoin heavily favors the early community that participated in the initial mining phase, promoting a decentralized distribution from the outset.

This structure ensures that the community holds a significant majority of the tokens, fostering a community-driven ecosystem.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The core incentive mechanism for Notcoin revolves around rewarding user engagement and ecosystem contribution, complemented by a deflationary burning mechanism to manage supply.

Incentive Mechanisms

• Tap-to-Earn Game: The primary incentive mechanism was the "Notcoin clicker" game, which attracted 35 million users who earned Notcoin during the beta phase.
• Ecosystem Exploration Rewards: Users are rewarded for exploring and contributing to new projects integrated into the Notcoin ecosystem. For example, users earned approximately $7 million by exploring partner projects and received $3.3 million in $DOGS airdrops.
• Future Incentives: The project plans to introduce staking opportunities post-launch, allowing users to earn interest on their NOT tokens to encourage long-term engagement.
• Anti-Bot Measures: The platform aims to reward users who contribute value while actively discouraging bot activity to maintain a healthy community.

Deflationary Mechanism (Burning)

A critical component of Notcoin's token economics is the token burning mechanism, which is designed to manage supply, increase scarcity, and support long-term value.

As of the latest data, 233,537,251 NOT tokens have been burned from various sources:

• Unclaimed Tokens: Approximately 210 million NOT were burned from tokens unclaimed by participants of the Notcoin Clicker game.
• Notcoin Explore Pools: 10% from every pool in the Notcoin Explore feature, totaling around 16 million NOT, are burned.
• Donations and Fun: Approximately 6.9 million NOT were burned through "big burn donations" and "random fun and stars."

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

The available information indicates that the majority of the token supply was distributed to early miners and voucher holders, resulting in a circulating supply of 100% shortly after launch.

• Locking Mechanism: Specific details regarding formal vesting schedules, cliff periods, or lock-up mechanisms for the 78% community allocation are not explicitly detailed, given the nature of the initial distribution being an airdrop/mining reward.
• Unlocking Time: Since the circulating supply is reported as 100%, it suggests that the initial distribution of tokens to the community is fully unlocked and available.
