TL;DR:
We've updated PARK tokenomics ahead of listing.
The key change is a staggered unlock: instead of all tiers receiving their initial unlock simultaneously at TGE, each tier unlocks in its own designated week.
Every tier received improved or at minimum preserved conditions.
As a result of these changes, first-month sell pressure is significantly reduced 3x overall.
Investor tokens unlock first, followed by liquidity allocation and staking, and then the remaining ecosystem participants. The team and advisors did not receive any improved conditions.
Why We're Doing This
We're preparing for the PARK exchange listing. The first weeks of trading define everything — the price floor, liquidity depth, and market confidence. Our goal is to create conditions where every participant wins:
For early-tier investors — shorter vesting. In the original model, Tier 1–3 were fully unlocked only after 12 months. In the updated model — after 7–7.5 months. You get access to your tokens faster.
For late-tier investors — priority access. Tier 5 and Tier 6, who purchased closest to the listing price, receive their initial unlock first. They have the smallest discount to listing price and minimal incentive to sell at a low price — this gives the market a soft start.
For Seed rounds investors — protection through position. Seed receives its initial unlock last (week 12), when the market has already absorbed five tier unlocks and stabilized. Seed round investors are interested in the strategic development of the project and token, so they received minor improvements: 7.5% init, ~22 month total period.
For trading health — the first $1M in sell pressure hit within the first month in the original tokenomics model ($1.24M). In the updated version, cumulative $1M is reached only by week 8. This is a fundamentally different dynamic that better aligns with organic weekly trading volumes on exchange.
How the Staggered Unlock Works
Each tier receives its initial unlock not simultaneously, but in a separate week after TGE.
The order goes from the highest purchase price to the lowest:
The logic: investors at $0.018–0.020 have only a 1.1x–1.2x multiplier to the $0.022 listing price. Seed investors gain access last, when liquidity has already formed and the price has stabilized. Each tier gets its own window — no competition for liquidity and no potential dumping.
What Improved for Each Tier
The key point: full unlock became faster, while Seed preserved its conditions.
Tier 1 and Tier 2 ($0.010): 12.5% initial unlock in week 8. Full unlock shortened from 12 to ~7.5 months — minus 4.5 months. Same initial unlock, but all tokens available significantly faster.
Tier 3 ($0.013): 12.5% initial unlock in week 5. Full unlock shortened from 12 to ~7 months — minus 5 months. The most significant improvement among all tiers.
Tier 4 ($0.015): 15% initial unlock in week 3. Full unlock shortened by 3 weeks.
Tier 5 ($0.018): 15% initial unlock in week 2. Full unlock shortened by 5 weeks.
Tier 6 ($0.020, new): 17% initial unlock — the highest of all tiers. Unlocks in week 1. Full unlock ~5 months.
Seed ($0.005): 7.5% init unlock in week 12. Total period ~22 months — a minor reduction. Position in the staggered schedule — last unlock.
Bottom line: Tier 1–5 received full unlock reductions from 3 weeks to 5 months. Seed preserved its conditions. Everyone wins with the new schedule.
Sell Pressure: The Numbers
Exact sell pressure figures at the $0.022 listing price:
Total sell pressure reduced ~3x in the first month: in the new version, community incentives (marketing, liquidity mining, staking) begin unlocking significantly later — this removes ~23M tokens of pressure from the first month, creating fairer conditions for investors.
Cumulative $1M in sell pressure is reached by week 8 instead of the first month — the market gets twice as long to build organic demand.
Why This Matters to You
For Tier 1–5 holders: objectively better conditions. Full unlock shortened by 3 weeks to 5 months. Initial unlock is preserved.
The staggered schedule gives each tier a dedicated window — no competition for liquidity and no potential price dumping.
For strategic Seed round investors conditions slightly improved.
Staggered unlock is an approach that allows investors to depend less on market movements and gives better chances for investment returns across every tier equally.
What's Next
These changes are part of our listing preparation. The updated tokenomics table is published in the documentation. Sablier vesting contracts for each tier will be verified on-chain.
