WHALES: Understanding Whales Market's Native Currency

2024-04-11 10:53:31

In our commitment to continually broaden our offerings, we are introducing a new project addition - Whales Market

This article provides you with a comprehensive overview of the Whales Market, its native token WHALES, tokenomics, functionalities, and also explains how to trade WHALES tokens on CoinEx.

What Is Whales Market?

Whales Market is a unique trading platform designed to make swapping assets across different blockchains easy and secure. It tackles the common problem of scams and fraud in peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency trading of pre-launch tokens and points before TGE. 

Typically, when people trade directly with each other through social media or other informal methods, they face risks like the other party not delivering what was promised. Whales Market addresses these issues by centralizing over-the-counter trades (OTC) on a single platform. 

Here, trades are made safer through the use of smart contracts. These contracts significantly cut down the risk of scams by locking the traded capital until both parties fulfill their ends of the deal. The platform operates on Solana blockchain technology for transparency and security. 

In 2023, to celebrate the launch of its mainnet, Whales Market gave away five million of its native WHALES tokens as a reward to its users, which accounted for 5% of their total supply. 

What Is the WHALES Token?

WHALES is the crypto token for the Whales Market to encourage people to participate and help the platform grow. Unlike many other digital currencies that are sold in advance (presale) to raise money, WHALES tokens will not be sold this way.

Instead, the initial quantity of WHALES required to run the system smoothly will be supplied by the LootBot Treasury. This will make sure that the distribution and growth of WHALES tokens are done fairly and openly, without favoring early, large buyers.

WHALES Tokenomics

Here’s the breakdown of WHALES tokens allocation:

  • Airdrop (including share to $LOOT stakers and $xLOOT holders): 5% of the total tokens (5,000,000) are gradually distributed over six months, with half available at the outset.
  • Incentives: 65% of the tokens (65,000,000) are allocated for gradual release over four years to incentivize users.
  • Team: 9.5% of the tokens (9,500,000) are reserved for the team, with a portion locked for nine months and the remainder released gradually over three years.
  • Liquidity: 7.5% of the tokens (7,500,000) are allocated to provide liquidity at the start, with all of them locked or burned.
  • Marketing: 5% of the tokens (5,000,000) are set aside for marketing purposes, with a quarter available immediately and the remainder vested over two years.
  • Private Sale: 7% of the tokens (7,000,000) are allocated for private sale, with half available initially and the remainder released over two months.
  • Security:  1% of the tokens (1,000,000) are reserved for security purposes, and available right from the start.
