Distribution
Allocation of the fixed 1,000,000,000 $KIMP supply - fair launch, incentives, treasury and contributors - with amounts and vesting terms.
$KIMP has a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, minted once at deployment. There is no mint function after deployment. Supply can only decrease, through buyback and burn and burned slashes.
There is no presale, no whitelist and no private round. No team allocation is sold before launch.
Allocation#
| Allocation | Share | Amount | Vesting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair launch | 60% | 600,000,000 | Distributed on GIWA mainnet launch day. No lockup. |
| Kimp Pool and reporter incentives | 20% | 200,000,000 | Emitted over 4 years. |
| Treasury | 15% | 150,000,000 | 12-month cliff, then governance-controlled. |
| Contributors | 5% | 50,000,000 | 12-month cliff, then 36-month linear vest. |
| Total | 100% | 1,000,000,000 |
Fair launch#
600,000,000 $KIMP, 60% of supply, is distributed through a fair launch contract on GIWA mainnet on launch day. The same terms apply to every participant. Contributors, reporters and treasury receive nothing from this allocation on preferential terms.
The exact mechanism and its parameters are published in these docs and on X at @KimpGiwa before launch. Until then, there is nothing to buy.
Incentives#
200,000,000 $KIMP, 20% of supply, funds the protocol's incentive programs over 4 years. That is an average of 50,000,000 $KIMP per year. It is held by a rewards contract and released only through the configured streams.
| Stream | Recipients |
|---|---|
| Kimp Pool incentives | kLP holders |
| Reporter incentives | Active, non-suspended reporters |
| Trading rewards | Verified Lane traders only |
The split between streams and the per-epoch emission rate are set by governance within the 4-year envelope. Emission cannot exceed the allocation or run faster than the schedule allows. See Limits and rewards.
Treasury#
150,000,000 $KIMP, 15% of supply, is held by the governance timelock. Nothing can move during the first 12 months after launch. After the cliff, every transfer requires a passed proposal and a 48-hour timelock. The guardian Safe has no access to treasury funds.
Contributors#
50,000,000 $KIMP, 5% of supply, is held in a vesting contract for contributors to the protocol.
- Nothing unlocks during the first 12 months.
- From month 13, tokens vest linearly over 36 months, about 1,388,888.89 $KIMP per month in aggregate.
- Full vesting is reached 48 months after launch.
- Unvested tokens cannot be staked, delegated or used to vote.
Circulating supply over time#
The table assumes linear incentive emission. It excludes the treasury, which moves only by governance vote, and ignores burns, which reduce all figures.
| Point after launch | Fair launch | Incentives emitted | Contributors vested | Total unlocked outside treasury |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | 600,000,000 | 0 | 0 | 600,000,000 |
| 12 months | 600,000,000 | 50,000,000 | 0 | 650,000,000 |
| 24 months | 600,000,000 | 100,000,000 | 16,666,667 | 716,666,667 |
| 36 months | 600,000,000 | 150,000,000 | 33,333,333 | 783,333,333 |
| 48 months | 600,000,000 | 200,000,000 | 50,000,000 | 850,000,000 |
Contributor figures are rounded to the nearest token. Adding the 150,000,000 treasury allocation to the 48-month figure gives the full 1,000,000,000 supply, before burns.
