# ALLOCATIONS & LOCK-UP

## Token Allocation & Lock-up

> **BANA's asset distribution focuses on strictly controlling initial circulation and protecting the value of long-term holders.**

***

#### **1. Distribution Structure**

BANA has strategically distributed a total supply of 1 billion tokens to ensure the sustainability of the ecosystem. The following chart represents the allocation ratios for each sector:

%%{init: {'theme': 'base', 'themeVariables': { 'pie1': '#4D96FF', 'pie2': '#6BCB77', 'pie3': '#FFD93D', 'pie4': '#FF6B6B', 'pie5': '#A084E8', 'pieStrokeWidth': '2px', 'pieOuterStrokeWidth': '2px', 'pieOpacity': '0.9' }}}%%
pie title BANA Distribution (%)
    "Ecosystem & Rewards (45%)" : 45
    "Foundation & Team (20%)" : 20
    "Token Sale (15%)" : 15
    "Marketing & Partnership (15%)" : 15
    "Liquidity Pool (5%)" : 5
```

\[Detailed Allocation Breakdown]:

* 🟦 **Ecosystem & Rewards (45%):** Ecosystem contribution rewards and staking liquidity.
* 🟩 **Foundation & Team (20%):** Technical development and operations, subject to a strict lock-up.
* 🟨 **Token Sale (15%):** Phased sale volume (Phase 1 to 4).
* 🟥 **Marketing & Partnership (15%):** Global branding and partnership expansion.
* 🟪 **Liquidity Pool (5%):** Exchange listing and securing market stability.

***

**2. Robust Protection: Lock-up & Vesting**

To secure market trust, the BANA Foundation adheres to an industry-leading "3-year lock-up" policy.

**Foundation & Team Protection (36-Month Lock-up)**

* Status: Strictly Locked.
* Protection Period: 0% circulation for 36 months (3 years) after listing.
* Release Logic: After 3 years, tokens are released equally over 24 months through linear vesting.
* \[ 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵 0% ] Currently in a complete lock-up state.

**Marketing & Partnership (Gradual Release)**

* Initial Release: 5% released at the time of TGE (listing).
* Vesting: Monthly equal release over the following 24 months.
* \[ 🔵⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪ 5% ] A strategy to minimize initial circulation.

| ----------------- | -------------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Foundation & Team | 20%            | 200,000,000 BANA | Full 3-year lock-up followed by 2-year vesting            |
| Ecosystem         | 45%            | 450,000,000 BANA | Distributed based on contribution and marketing schedules |
| Token Sale        | 15%            | 150,000,000 BANA | Sequential release according to conditions for each Phase |
| Marketing         | 15%            | 150,000,000 BANA | 5% initial release followed by 2-year vesting             |
| Liquidity         | 5%             | 50,000,000 BANA  | Immediate liquidity supply to exchanges upon listing      |

#### BANA's Value Protection Strategy (Summary)

> **"We don't just 'manage' circulation; we 'control' it through sophisticated mechanisms."**

BANA Protocol executes three core strategies to maintain token scarcity and prioritize the protection of holder asset value.

***

**1. Initial Supply Control**

* Strategy: We strictly suppress the initial circulating supply to less than 10% of the total issuance.
* Effect: This prevents sudden price volatility caused by initial oversupply and encourages a stable price chart.

**2. Responsible Management (3-Year Lock-up)**

* Strategy: By setting a powerful 36-month (3-year) lock-up for foundation and team holdings, we prove our commitment to the project's long-term success.
* Effect: This demonstrates the foundation's strong will and responsibility toward the project's completion rather than short-term gains.

**3. Real-Profit Based Deflationary Burn**

* Strategy: We combine market-price buy-backs and burns using real-world business profits that exceed the volume of newly vested tokens.
* Effect: This supports a continuous upward trajectory of token value through a "deflationary model" where supply decreases as intrinsic value rises.

**BANA Foundation promises a robust economic ecosystem where the growth of real-world assets directly leads to token value appreciation, moving beyond one-time price pumps.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bana.gitbook.io/bana-docs/en/tokenomics/token-allocation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
