How It Works

Traditional vesting unlocks gradually, claim a little today, a little tomorrow, sell continuously. Predictable, constant sell pressure. Cliffs only delay the inevitable, or worse, create sell pressure from hedging or shorting to lock profits. Diamond-hand vesting flips this. You can claim anytime. Tokens vest linearly, but you can only claim once. You receive the vested portion. Everything else goes to the Distributor, which reroutes it to remaining presale holders, farm stakers, and the project treasury. Your Ponzu Bottle NFT is burned. No constant sell pressure every day on the charts.

Both use the same linear vesting formula. Only the duration differs. If you used the dev buy option at deployment, your own Ponzu Bottle vests on the same schedule as everyone else.

​
The Forfeit Bonus

Holders who wait during the vesting period receive their original allocation plus a pro-rata share of everything forfeited by early claimers. Worked example:
  • You bought 10,000 tokens
  • 60% claim on Day 1, each receiving 10% and forfeiting 90%
  • They held ~414,000 tokens combined. They forfeited ~372,600 tokens
  • Forfeited tokens go to the Distributor:
Your share of the presale holder portion: 10,000 / ~276,000 remaining presale tokens = ~3.6%. You receive ~5,366 bonus tokens on top of your 10,000. The circulating supply increased 6%, while you got 53% more tokens. Assuming the token price appreciated to justify forfeiting 90%. You’ll start to see how alignment over time begins to make sense.

​
ETH Rewards

While vesting, Ponzu Bottle holders also accumulate ETH from the Distributor. These come from the 1% swap fee for token sales. Fee is on the output token, so when someone sells TKN->ETH, the fee is in ETH, which gets sent to the distributor, of which part gets sent to the Presale claim. Claim ETH whenever you want. This does not burn your Ponzu Bottle, nor does it count as your one-time token claim. You keep earning ETH from swap fees, even after vesting. No deadline. Once you claim your tokens however, your Ponzu Bottle is burnt and no longer able to claim ETH rewards.
