Governance Token Allocation

This page outlines the Governance allocation only. The Utility Token allocation will be revealed closer to launch.

Active LOAD Policy Only Active LOAD—tokens that have passed through Checkpoint’s validator—can participate in governance, rewards, and vesting. Legacy LOAD remains visible on-chain but carries no utility until activation, ensuring transparency and fair distribution.

Controlled Float: Approximately 4 % of total supply (10 % of the community allocation) is tradeable on whitelisted Cardano DEXs to demonstrate market stability while keeping speculation limited.

GOVERNANCE:

1,000,000,000 TOKEN SUPPLY

The allocation of Checkpoint’s Governance Token (LOAD) is structured to ensure a balanced, transparent, and equitable distribution across all key contributors and community stakeholders. The goal is to incentivise long-term engagement, decentralise influence, and safeguard the integrity of Checkpoint’s ecosystem.

Proposed Allocation Breakdown

• Community and Public Allocation – 40% Reserved for decentralised distribution to early adopters, contributors, and ecosystem participants through staking rewards, contribution-based incentives, and community-driven initiatives.

• Checkpoint Treasury – 20% Held by the Checkpoint Treasury to fund future development, educational outreach, platform innovation, and global social impact programmes aligned with the SDGs.

• Founders and Core Team – 15% Allocated to founders and early team members, subject to a multi-year vesting schedule to ensure long-term commitment and responsible growth.

• Academic and Institutional Partnerships – 10% Distributed to academic and institutional partners supporting research, peer review, content validation, and outreach efforts.

• Strategic Partners and Collaborators – 10% For key contributors and partnerships across technology, education, governance, and media sectors, supporting ecosystem expansion and resilience.

• Advisory Pool – 5% Allocated for trusted advisors offering strategic guidance, policy development, and sector expertise, with vesting provisions in place.

NOTE: 10% of the Community & Public pool (i.e., 4% of total supply) will be tradeable on whitelisted Cardano DEXs to enable measured price discovery while keeping speculation constrained. The remaining 96% circulates through verifiable activity and governance.

Tradeable float & market access

• Public float: ~4% of total supply (10% of the 40% community allocation) provides limited liquidity and external visibility without surrendering control to market volatility.

• Venue: Cardano-based DEXs with whitelisting/controls where available.

• Policy: Treasury does not rely on token sales for operations; fiat revenues underwrite the ecosystem.
