What is a Kioke?

Traditional ponzu ferments in cedarwood barrels called a Kioke. Koji is the brewing culture. In the Ponzu protocol, Kioke Cards are NFTs used for curation across the factory. They shape the culture and signal conviction. Kioke holders select which projects receive their backing and earn bonuses from tokens they endorse. Every token launch earns 10 voting credits called a Koji, and they are spent quadratically. We call it Quadratic Voting Token Curation (or Koji Voting for short)

Two Reward Streams

​
Crafting Rewards

1% of presale ETH across every project launched on Ponzu flows to Kioke Card holders. Split equally among minted Kioke. If a project raises 100 ETH, 1 ETH enters the Kioke pool. You don’t choose which projects. You don’t stake anything. Hold a barrel, earn from every launch. But you can only claim after you vote. If you spend half your Koji, you still accumulate your full share, but you can only claim half. Contribute to claim.

​
Fermenting Rewards

5% of Distributor rewards (both tokens and ETH) go to the Kioke pool. But these rewards don’t split equally across all 300 barrels. Kioke can earn boosted rewards for that token by spending Koji credits. Your share of the 5% Kioke allocation for any project = your Koji burned on that project / total Koji burned on that project. Active curators with good judgment earn significantly more than passive holders. Your Koji is rate limited like every other Kioke, so curation becomes key.
