Public Sale (IDO)
The public sale of SUBS — Subscrypts' native utility token — takes place as a decentralized Initial DEX Offering (IDO). This section answers key questions about when it happens, how tokens are released, how it affects circulation, and how proceeds are used.
What is the IDO?
The IDO (Initial DEX Offering) is the mechanism for launching and distributing SUBS tokens to the public. Rather than conducting a private raise or centralized launch, Subscrypts issues SUBS tokens directly to the community via a decentralized exchange (Uniswap).
This ensures:
- Open access: no whitelist, no KYC barrier.
- Transparent pricing: determined by liquidity pool mechanics.
- Fair distribution: reduces early concentration.
When does the IDO happen?
The IDO takes place at the Token Generation Event (TGE) — the official launch moment when SUBS tokens become live on-chain.
- Network: Arbitrum One (Ethereum Layer-2)
- Launch Venue: Uniswap V3
- Token Pair: SUBS / USDC
- TGE Date: Q4 2025 (exact date announced via official channels)
How many tokens are allocated to the IDO?
Out of the fixed 120 billion SUBS total supply, the Public Sale allocation is 40%:
This means 48 billion SUBS are reserved for public distribution:
- 12 billion SUBS (10% of total supply) are unlocked and circulating at launch (TGE).
- 36 billion SUBS are locked and released linearly over the next 12 months.
How many tokens are in circulation at launch?
At the moment of the IDO:
| Category | Amount (SUBS) | Circulating? |
|---|---|---|
| IDO Unlock | 12 billion | ✅ Yes |
| Founder | 3 billion | ✅ Yes (2.5%) |
| All other allocations | 0 | ❌ Locked |
➡️ Total Circulating Supply at TGE: 15 billion SUBS (12.5% of total supply)
What’s the release schedule after launch?
The remaining 36 billion SUBS from the IDO allocation are released monthly over 12 months. Visualized below:
Each month increases circulating supply by 3 billion SUBS, culminating in 48 billion SUBS available after 12 months.
What’s the total in circulation after 1 year?
| Source | Circulating After 1 Year | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Public Sale (40%) | 48 billion SUBS | Fully released |
| Founder (2.5% + ~2.5%) | ~6 billion SUBS | 3B at launch + ~3B vesting progress |
| Others (0%) | 0 SUBS | Still locked (begin unlocking Y2) |
➡️ Total After Year 1: ~54 billion SUBS (45% of supply)
Why does Subscrypts use a public IDO?
The goal is to distribute SUBS tokens as widely and fairly as possible, especially among:
- Merchants and developers building on the platform
- Subscribers and users engaging with SUBS
- Long-term ecosystem participants
Compared to private sales or early investor rounds, an IDO:
- Prevents supply hoarding by a few insiders
- Makes pricing transparent and market-driven
- Encourages early liquidity and token utility
What’s the impact on price and liquidity?
Price is determined by:
- Initial liquidity pool setup (SUBS:USDC ratio)
- Real-time market demand on Uniswap
- Circulating supply growth (linear vesting)
While some token emissions increase supply monthly, the wide distribution is designed to support:
- Broad user ownership
- Steady onboarding of new demand
- Minimized sell-pressure from concentrated holders
What happens with the IDO proceeds?
All assets received from IDO token purchases (USDC, ETH, etc.):
- Flow into the Subscrypts treasury wallet
- Are used to fund platform development, security, infrastructure, and ecosystem growth
No proceeds are taken as profit by founders. The treasury is strictly used to:
- Pay for audits and development
- Maintain infrastructure
- Support grants and strategic partnerships
The treasury wallet is publicly viewable on-chain.
Summary
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| IDO Allocation | 48 billion SUBS (40%) |
| Circulating at Launch (TGE) | 15 billion SUBS (12.5%) |
| Monthly Unlock (IDO) | 3 billion SUBS per month |
| Circulating After Year 1 | ~54 billion SUBS (45%) |
| Launch Venue | Uniswap V3 (Arbitrum One) |
| IDO Funds Usage | Treasury → Ops, Dev, Growth |
The IDO model ensures a fair, transparent, and scalable launch, designed to avoid centralization and promote long-term health of the Subscrypts ecosystem.
