Total Supply = 10 Billion $XNAME
40% of $XNAME is allocated to the community contributor.
40% Community & Ecosystem - The largest allocation, driving human verification, on-chain participation, referral rewards, and campaign incentives.
10% Liquidity Incentives - Allocated for liquidity provisioning and staking incentives.
16% Foundation - Supports protocol development, chain integrations, audits, and strategic opportunities.
15% Core Contributors - Committed to XStar’s builders and core contributors.
15% Early Backers - Allocated to Kaito’s early investors.
4% Advisors - Allocated to long-term advisors contributing expertise across Web2 Domains, identity services, and legal infrastructure.
This is the largest allocation in the $XNAME ecosystem and serves as the backbone for building a verified, human-driven identity layer across Web3.
This includes:
Early users of XStar ID (XID), XNAME domains, and Humanity Verification (XHS)
Humanity earnings and PTS holders
Participants in XReward quests, proof-of-humanity tasks, and referral programs
Our approach centers around two principles:
Incentivizing Real Humans: Rewarding users who complete biometric verification, social account binding, and sustained ecosystem activity.
Ensuring Distribution Fairness: Balancing early contributions, referral impact, and social reputation while minimizing Sybil risks.
Key evaluation factors may include:
Human Verification Status (XHS): Weighting based on verification strength and activity
XNAME Domain Usage: Preference to early registrants and active users
Referral Network: Scoring based on verified referrals and downstream participation
On-chain Engagement: Interactions with XStar-based products or supported quests
Humanity Earnings: Total earnings gained through the humanity check and XStar Fleet miniapp.
This allocation supports:
Liquidity provisioning across CEX/DEX pairs
LP staking rewards
Bootstrapping DAO token trading for new domain suffixes
Stakers and liquidity providers help secure XNAME’s price stability and ensure that users can onboard and trade efficiently without bottlenecks. DAO-governed incentives may also include LPs for namespace governance tokens.
Reserved to fund the ongoing development and strategic expansion of XStar and the XNAME protocol. This covers:
Infrastructure and security audits
Cross-chain deployments
ZK & encryption R&D
Legal and compliance setup for domain services
Human-centric Application (eg., XReward)
These funds ensure continuity in core development and mission alignment as the ecosystem scales.
Allocated to the builders who designed, implemented, and continue to grow XNAME and XStar. This covers contributors in:
Protocol engineering
Product and growth
Cryptographic design
Governance and community operations
Tokens are subject to long-term vesting to maintain alignment and long-term commitment to the network’s success.
This includes angel investors, strategic supporters, and early believers who enabled the protocol’s earliest phase with capital, network, and guidance.
While these tokens are fully vested over time, early backers are expected to contribute ongoing support, co-governance, and integrations across partner ecosystems.
Allocated to long-term advisors contributing expertise in:
Web2-to-Web3 identity transitions
Domain registry and DNS systems
Regulatory frameworks for digital identities
Legal structures for human data protection
Advisors play a critical role in helping XStar and XNAME navigate evolving standards for decentralized identity, ZK verification, and Web2 Domains interoperability.
