The $FOTON Distribution Rate page provides a comprehensive insight of how $FOTON tokens are released into circulation. Nexapia employs a exponential decay model and integrates buyback & burn mechanisms to assist in token deflation, balanced incentives, and controlled token supply growth. This page includes key highlights, clear definitions, charts, and insights to visualize the flow and cumulative growth of $FOTON in circulation over time.
Key Takeaways
Controlled Token Releases: $FOTON tokens are released using a exponential decay model, which releases 33% of the remaining pool each year.
Major Sources of Circulation: The four primary sources of circulating $FOTON are LP Staking, Governance Staking, NFT Staking, and Platform Rewards.
Team Allocation Lockup: Team tokens follow a 6-month lockup and 24-month gradual release schedule to ensure long-term alignment and reduce community concerns about token dumps.
Gradual Supply Growth: Circulating supply grows quickly in the first year but slows as the remaining pools get smaller each year.
Buyback & Burn Integration: Buybacks remove tokens from circulation through permanent burns, reducing supply while reinforcing token value. This deflationary mechanism is designed to assist in sustainability and strengthen incentives.
Exponential Decay Model
How It Works
Each year, 33% of the remaining pool is released.
As the pool size decreases, the amount released each year is smaller.
The plan applies to these four major pools:
Platform Rewards
NFT Staking
Governance Staking
LP Staking
This system prevents excessive token inflation while ensuring ongoing rewards for participants.

Nexapia Team $FOTON Allocation Release
Nexapia Team allocation consists of 15,000,000 $FOTON (15% of the total $FOTON supply) dedicated to supporting the ongoing development, operations, and strategic growth of the Nexapia platform. To ensure fairness and alignment with long-term growth, the release of this allocation is subject to a lockup period and a gradual vesting schedule.

How The Release Works
6-Month Lockup
No tokens are released to the Nexapia Team for the first 6 months after token generation.
This ensures the team is fully aligned with the long-term success of the Nexapia platform.
24-Month Vesting Period
After the initial 6-month lockup, the 15,000,000 $FOTON allocation is gradually released over 24 months.
Each month, an equal portion of 625,000 $FOTON is unlocked and distributed to the team.
This schedule ensures slow, controlled access to the allocation, aligning the team's incentives with long-term platform success.
No Early Release
No team member can access their allocation before the end of the lockup or ahead of the release schedule.
This ensures a trust-based approach for the community, reducing any potential fear of large token dumps.

Why This Matters
Transparency: The 6-month lockup and 24-month vesting demonstrate a long-term commitment to the platform.
Community Trust: Nexapia ensures the team cannot prematurely sell their tokens, reducing the chance of sudden large sales.
Incentive Alignment: The team remains motivated to ensure long-term success because token releases are slow, steady, and aligned with the platform's growth.
$FOTON Flow Into Circulation (Annual Flow)
This chart shows the flow of $FOTON tokens into circulation each year from the four major pools. This gives insight into the inflationary pressure from token releases. Not including $FOTON buyback & Burn or Team distributions.

Buyback & Burn Integration
How It Works
Revenue Collection: Platform revenue (via fees) funds the Momentum Reserve.
Buybacks: The reserve is used to buy $FOTON from FPeX $FOTON pairs.
Burn: All repurchased tokens are permanently burned, reducing circulating supply.
Why This Matters: This deflationary system reduces token supply, assists in supporting long-term value, and creates a feedback loop that strengthens $FOTON over time.
