CATH Tokenomics Strategy
The CATH token is at the heart of our decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance model, designed to empower a decentralized community while ensuring long-term project sustainability. With a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, we have developed a comprehensive tokenomic strategy that ensures stability, incentivizes long-term participation, and fosters a thriving ecosystem around the CATH DAO.
Our strategy balances fair token distribution among various key stakeholders, including the DAO treasury, liquidity pools, team members, advisors, and the community. A 1% automated fee on every minting or transaction directed to the DAO treasury ensures continuous growth of funds for governance and project development. By utilizing advanced decentralized finance mechanisms like SushiSwap’s MISO launchpad, we are committed to a transparent, community-driven approach that aligns the interests of all participants.
The following table provides an overview of our CATH token allocation strategy, ensuring that each allocation is designed with growth, stability, and decentralization in mind.

Post Consideration: Attracting Investors and DAO Participants
The CATH tokenomic strategy has been designed to create a balanced ecosystem that rewards both early investors and active community participants. By providing a fair and transparent token distribution model, we offer key benefits to different stakeholders:
For Investors:
Early Access & Fair Auctioning: The 15% public sale allocation on SushiSwap's MISO platform ensures that early participants gain access to tokens at market-driven prices through a fair auction mechanism. This approach mitigates the risk of overpricing or underpricing the tokens while offering early investors the chance to secure tokens before they list on secondary markets.
Liquidity and Stability: With 10% of the token supply dedicated to liquidity reserves, investors can trade with confidence, knowing that sufficient liquidity will be locked post-launch, ensuring smooth price discovery and minimizing price volatility.
For the DAO Participants:
Governance Power: The 20% DAO treasury and 1% fee mechanism provide a continuous stream of funds that DAO members can govern and allocate for future development, community projects, and protocol upgrades. This ensures that the project remains dynamic, with governance decisions directly impacting the growth and direction of the platform.
Community Incentives: The 10% community incentives allocation allows for rewarding active participation through staking, governance voting, and other community-driven initiatives. This encourages long-term commitment to the CATH ecosystem and ensures that governance is truly decentralized.
For Strategic Partners and Advisors:
Ecosystem and Development Growth: The 10% ecosystem and development funds allow us to form strategic partnerships that can drive long-term growth. By securing funds for future platform development and partnerships, CATH ensures continuous innovation and relevance in the evolving Web3 space.
Long-Term Alignment: Both the team and advisors have aligned incentives through long-term vesting schedules (12-24 months), ensuring they are committed to the sustained success of the platform and its community.
For Early Community Members:
Airdrop and Private Sale Participation: Early community members and contributors are crucial to the initial growth of the platform. The 5% allocation for airdrops and private sales ensures that these early supporters are rewarded, promoting active engagement and further decentralizing the token supply.
By employing this tokenomic strategy, CATH offers a balanced and secure approach to long-term growth. The combination of a fair launch, robust liquidity provisions, and strategic fund allocation ensures that all participants are incentivized to support the ecosystem while aligning with the project's long-term vision.
