Public Sale (IDO)
The public sale of SUBS — Subscrypts' native utility token — takes place as a decentralized Initial DEX Offering (IDO). This section explains when the IDO occurs, how tokens are released, how circulating supply evolves, and how proceeds are used.
What is the IDO?
The IDO (Initial DEX Offering) is the mechanism through which SUBS is distributed to the public. Instead of a private or centralized sale, Subscrypts launches SUBS directly on a decentralized exchange (Uniswap).
This approach ensures:
- Open access — no whitelist or private allocation
- Transparent pricing — determined by market liquidity
- Fair distribution — reduced early concentration of supply
When does the IDO happen?
The IDO takes place at the Token Generation Event (TGE) — the moment SUBS becomes live and tradable 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 million SUBS total supply, the Public Sale allocation is 40%:
This corresponds to 48.0 million SUBS reserved for public distribution:
- 12.0 million SUBS (10% of total supply) are unlocked and circulating at TGE
- 36.0 million SUBS are locked and released linearly over 12 months
How many tokens are in circulation at launch?
At the moment of the IDO (TGE):
| Category | Amount (SUBS) | Circulating? |
|---|---|---|
| IDO Unlock | 12.0 million | ✅ Yes |
| Founder | 3.0 million | ✅ Yes (2.5%) |
| All other allocations | 0 | ❌ Locked |
➡️ Total Circulating Supply at TGE: 15.0 million SUBS (12.5% of total supply)
What’s the release schedule after launch?
The remaining 36.0 million SUBS from the IDO allocation are released linearly over 12 months, increasing circulating supply by 3.0 million SUBS per month.
After 12 months, the full 48.0 million SUBS allocated to the public sale is in circulation.
What’s the total in circulation after 1 year?
| Source | Circulating After 1 Year | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Public Sale (40%) | 48.0 million SUBS | Fully released |
| Founder (vesting) | ~6.0 million SUBS | 3.0M at TGE + ~3.0M vested |
| Other allocations | 0 SUBS | Still locked (unlocking starts Year 2) |
➡️ Total After Year 1: ~54.0 million SUBS (~45% of total supply)
Why does Subscrypts use a public IDO?
The objective is to distribute SUBS as widely and transparently as possible, particularly among:
- Merchants building subscription services
- Developers integrating the protocol
- Users actively participating in the ecosystem
Compared to private rounds, an IDO:
- Limits insider dominance
- Creates market-driven price discovery
- Encourages early liquidity and real usage
What’s the impact on price and liquidity?
The market price of SUBS is determined by:
- Initial liquidity pool configuration (SUBS / USDC)
- Ongoing supply emission via linear vesting
- Real user demand for subscriptions
While circulating supply increases monthly, the gradual release is designed to:
- Reduce abrupt sell pressure
- Support sustainable liquidity growth
- Align token availability with ecosystem adoption
What happens with the IDO proceeds?
All assets received from IDO participation (USDC, ETH, or other crypto-assets):
- Are transferred directly to the Subscrypts treasury
- Are secured by a multi-signature wallet
- Are used exclusively for platform-related expenses
Treasury funds support:
- Development and security audits
- Infrastructure and operational costs
- Ecosystem growth and partnerships
The treasury wallet is publicly verifiable on-chain.
