Arbitpad Tokenomics: Utility, Token Distribution & Circulating Supply

4 min readMar 28, 2023

Tokenomics is crucial for every project success, that’s why we’ve dedicated significant thought and effort to build a solid tokenomics system for Arbitpad.

Discover the APD token powering our protocol and its utility, distribution, and circulating supply in our latest article.

Arbitpad’s launchpad operates on its proprietary utility token — $APD, with a total supply of 100,000,000 APD tokens which serves as a gateway to accessing core features of the Arbitpad platform.

As part of our extensive research, we have devoted significant resources to crafting a robust token model, and we are excited to share the details of our APD token’s functionality, as well as the benefits of joining our network.

Our team has taken a focused approach towards designing the APD token’s utility, prioritizing the key elements that will drive the growth of our network and support our company’s mission.

$APD Token Utility

1: Tiered Access to the Arbitpad Launchpad: The APD token is the key to access the core features of the Arbitpad Launchpad, including Tiered IDO allocations, staking rewards, whitelist competitions, and airdrops.

2: Staking Rewards: Holders of APD tokens can earn staking rewards by locking their tokens for a certain period of time. This provides an incentive for users to hold the token and contribute to the network’s growth.

3: Voting Rights: APD token holders have voting rights, which allows them to participate in the decision-making process for the platform’s future development and direction.

4: Bonuses: APD token holders who hold and stake a certain amount of tokens can receive discounts on IDOs and also can qualify to get bonuses for IDO participated in.

5: Liquidity: Once listed, APD tokens can be freely traded on cryptocurrency exchanges, providing liquidity for users who wish to buy or sell the token.

Token Distribution

APD token distribution plan includes a total supply of 100 million tokens, which encompasses all the categories of token recipients as per the outlined distribution schedule.

Team: The core team members are incentivized with tokens to promote the future development and expansion of the Arbitpad platform. To ensure equitable incentivization, the team tokens are locked for a period of six months before the 20-month vesting period commences.

Advisors & Strategic Partners: We have an incentivization program in place to encourage external advisors and partners to join us in the development and growth of our platform. To ensure a fair distribution, the tokens are locked for 2 months before the 10-month linear market entry, preventing over saturation.

Marketing: The marketing activities tokens have a 100% initial lock and the usage will be decided by the Arbitpad DAO.

Liquidity: To ensure adequate token liquidity on decentralized exchanges, we will initially release 18% of the total token supply. However, we will distribute liquidity across multiple DEX platforms to ensure a steady supply as more volumes are added to these platforms.

Staking Rewards: Several staking programs, including token staking and LP staking, will be launched to incentivize early participants and liquidity providers. Of the total staking rewards allocation of 10,000,000 tokens, 20% will be available initially after the public sale for early holders to stake their tokens and earn more. The remaining tokens will be released linearly over the next 20 months.

Presale: After the presale, 50% of the 20,000,000 tokens will be available, with the remaining tokens being subject to a 10% weekly linear vesting schedule. This allows for initial usage of the platform and participation in future staking programs.

Public Sale: Upon the conclusion of the public sale, 50% of the allocated 40,000,000 tokens will be released immediately, while the remaining 25% will be vested over a one-month period to prevent dumps on listing.
