The total token supply for Quantora is fixed at **10 billion QTRA tokens**, designed to support long-term platform growth, community contribution, protocol utility, and decentralized governance.

The token distribution has been carefully designed to ensure:

* **Incentive alignment** between team, users, and early backers
* **Sustainable liquidity** for exchanges and utility use cases
* **Empowerment of the community DAO** for long-term research curation
* **Gradual unlocks** to avoid sharp inflationary pressure

***

#### 6.1. 🌱 Ecosystem & Rewards — 30%

This is the largest allocation and is used for:

* Research report sharing incentives
* Community missions and leaderboard rewards
* Accuracy-based staking and contributor recognition
* Staking incentives for long-term platform participants

Unlocks start after a **3-month cliff**, ensuring product-market validation before heavy reward circulation.

***

#### 6.2. 🧑‍💼 Team & Founders — 15%

To maintain long-term alignment and retention, core team tokens are **fully locked for the first year**, followed by a 2-year linear unlock schedule.\
This ensures the team remains committed to the protocol’s evolution beyond the initial roadmap.

***

#### 6.3. 🧠 Advisors — 5%

Early advisors, strategic experts, and ecosystem enablers are vested after a **6-month cliff**, ensuring support during the go-to-market and network-building phases.

***

#### 6.4. 🧑‍⚖️ Research DAO Reserve — 15%

A dedicated pool governed by the Quantora DAO, which can be deployed for:

Unlocks are **proposal-based**, requiring DAO approval for each tranche.

***

#### 6.5. 💧 Liquidity & Exchange Listing — 10%

Allocated for:

* Initial DEX listings
* Market making and liquidity depth
* CEX launchpads and pool balancing

Portion is unlocked at TGE (Token Generation Event) to ensure liquidity, with the remainder unlocked over 6 months.

***

#### 6.6. 💸 Private Sale — 15%

Strategic investors receive 10% of their tokens at TGE. The rest unlocks after a **3-month cliff**, followed by a 7.5% monthly release.\
This reduces sell pressure while aligning early backers with the long-term roadmap.

***

#### 6.7. 🌍 Public Sale — 5%

The public round supports community participation and fair distribution.\
20% unlocks at TGE to encourage early utility use, with the remainder released steadily.

***

Used for:

* Growth campaigns
* KOL partnerships
* Regional market entry

Unlocks gradually to sustain momentum without flooding supply.
