Allocations

Configure team allocations and vesting schedules in the Allocations tab of the Advanced Creator.

🔍 Overview

The Allocations tab lets you reserve a percentage of your token's total supply for team members, advisors, partners, or any designated recipients. Each allocation can include a vesting schedule that locks tokens and releases them gradually over time. All allocations and vesting schedules are locked into the smart contract at deployment — participants can verify exactly who receives what, and the vesting timeline cannot be shortened or bypassed. This transparency is a key differentiator of DibDex, where supply distribution is guaranteed by code rather than promises.

🔒 Transparent & Immutable — Every allocation and vesting schedule is permanently encoded in the smart contract. Participants can verify the exact distribution before committing funds.

📚 Key Concepts

📊 Token Allocation

An allocation is a reserved share of the total token supply assigned to a specific wallet address. Allocations are minted and distributed during the Token Generation Event (TGE). The percentage you allocate here is deducted from the supply available for preorders and trading.

⏱️ Vesting

Vesting is a mechanism that locks allocated tokens and releases them gradually over a defined period. This prevents recipients from immediately selling their entire allocation and demonstrates long-term commitment to the project.

For example, a 12-month vesting schedule means the recipient's tokens unlock gradually over one year. They cannot access or sell the locked portion until it vests.

💡 Why Vesting Matters — Vesting signals that the team is committed for the long haul. It protects the community from sudden sell-offs and builds trust with participants.

⚙️ Configuration

🔛 Enable Allocations

Toggle allocations on or off. When disabled, 100% of the token supply (minus airdrop and farm allocations) goes to the preorder pool.

👥 Adding Recipients

For each allocation, configure:

• Recipient Wallet Address — The blockchain address that will receive the tokens
• Label — A descriptive name for this allocation (e.g., "Team", "Advisor", "Marketing Fund")
• Percentage — The share of total supply (in basis points). The remaining available percentage is shown as you add allocations

⏱️ Vesting Schedule

For each allocation, you can optionally enable vesting:

• Vesting Duration — How long the vesting period lasts (e.g., 90 days, 365 days)
• Duration Unit — Days, weeks, or months

Tokens vest linearly over the specified period. At any point during vesting, the recipient can claim the portion that has already vested.

🌾 Farm Duration

If you have farming enabled (via the airdrop/farm allocation), this tab also lets you configure the farming reward duration — how long farming rewards are distributed to stakers.

📊 Supply Distribution

As you add allocations, the Token Distribution Chart in the sidebar updates to show:

• Preorder Pool — Tokens available for preorder participants
• Airdrop — Percentage reserved for airdrop distribution
• Farm — Percentage reserved for farming rewards
• Team/Allocations — The sum of all custom allocations

The total must not exceed 100%. The interface prevents you from over-allocating.

📈 Keep an Eye on the Chart — The sidebar distribution chart updates in real-time as you adjust allocations. Use it to ensure a healthy balance between community and team supply.

✅ Best Practices

• Use vesting for all team allocations to signal long-term commitment
• Keep total team allocations reasonable — high allocations can discourage community participation
• Label each allocation clearly so participants can understand the supply distribution
• Consider shorter vesting for advisors and longer vesting for core team

🎯 Pro Tip — A common pattern is 6-month vesting for advisors and 12–24 month vesting for the core team. This demonstrates commitment while still rewarding early contributors.
