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 Contributors. Your Ponzu Bottle NFT stays with you as a souvenir. It is burned only if you fully refund before launch. No constant sell pressure every day on the charts.

​
Vesting Duration

Set at token deployment. Cannot be changed. The factory allowlists 10 days and 10 weeks. Both use the same linear vesting formula. Only the duration differs. If you used the founder 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. Buys pay an input fee in ETH; that remainder reaches the Distributor after LP and Kioke cuts. Claim ETH whenever you want, until you claim tokens. This does not burn your Ponzu Bottle, nor does it count as your one-time token claim. Once you claim tokens, further ETH claims on that bottle return 0. Your forfeited share accrues to remaining holders. The bottle stays in your wallet as a souvenir.
