# Performance-unlocked team tokens with price-multiple triggers and TWAP settlement create long-term alignment without initial dilution
|
|
|
|
MycoRealms implements a team allocation structure where 3M tokens (18.9% of total supply) are locked at launch with five tranches unlocking at 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, and 32x the ICO price, evaluated via 3-month time-weighted average price (TWAP) rather than spot price, with a minimum 18-month cliff before any unlock.
|
|
|
|
At launch, zero team tokens circulate. If the token never reaches 2x ICO price, the team receives nothing. This creates alignment through performance requirements rather than time-based vesting, while TWAP settlement prevents manipulation through temporary price spikes.
|
|
|
|
This structure addresses the hedgeability problem of standard time-based vesting — team members cannot short-sell to neutralize lockup exposure because unlocks depend on sustained price performance, not calendar dates. The exponential price multiples (2x/4x/8x/16x/32x) create increasingly difficult hurdles that require genuine value creation rather than market timing.
|
|
|
|
## Evidence
|
|
|
|
- MycoRealms team allocation: 3M tokens (18.9% of total 15.9M supply)
|
|
- Five unlock tranches at 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x ICO price
|
|
- 18-month minimum cliff before any unlock eligibility
|
|
- Unlock evaluation via 3-month TWAP, not spot price
|
|
- Zero team tokens circulating at launch
|
|
- If token never reaches 2x, team receives zero allocation
|
|
|
|
## Comparison to Standard Vesting
|
|
|
|
Standard time-based vesting (e.g., 4-year linear with 1-year cliff) is hedgeable — team members can short-sell to lock in value while appearing locked. Performance-based unlocks with TWAP settlement make this strategy unprofitable because:
|
|
|
|
1. Shorting suppresses price, preventing unlock triggers
|
|
2. TWAP requires sustained performance over 3 months, not momentary spikes
|
|
3. Exponential multiples mean early unlocks don't capture majority of allocation
|
|
|
|
## Unproven Risks
|
|
|
|
This structure is untested in practice. Key risks:
|
|
|
|
- Team may abandon project if early price performance is poor (no guaranteed compensation for work during pre-unlock period)
|
|
- Extreme price volatility could trigger unlocks during temporary bubbles despite TWAP smoothing
|
|
- 18-month cliff may be too long for early-stage projects with high burn rates, creating team retention risk
|
|
- No precedent for whether TWAP-based triggers actually prevent manipulation in low-liquidity token markets

MycoRealms allocates 3M tokens (18.9% of supply) to team with zero circulating at launch, unlocking only at 2x/4x/8x/16x/32x ICO price via 3-month TWAP after 18-month cliff. Physical infrastructure project demonstrates mechanism applies beyond pure digital contexts.

XorraBet structured 4M team tokens (20% of supply) with five tranches unlocking at 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, and 32x price multiples, with an 18-month cliff and 3-month TWAP evaluation. At launch, 0 team tokens circulate, and if the token never reaches 2x, the team receives nothing.

Salmon Wallet explicitly highlights 'Founder incentives tied to token performance — we win when you win' and 'Team unlocks are performance-gated, meaning we earn more only as Salmon grows' as core features of their MetaDAO launch structure. This confirms the mechanism is being marketed as a key differentiator to potential investors.

Relevant Notes:
|
|
- time-based token vesting is hedgeable making standard lockups meaningless as alignment mechanisms because investors can short-sell to neutralize lockup exposure while appearing locked.md
|
|
- dynamic performance-based token minting replaces fixed emission schedules by tying new token creation to measurable outcomes creating algorithmic meritocracy in token distribution.md
