A Token made of Clay!
After serious consideration, listening to your feedback and discussing this during yesterday’s Space, Claymons will be launching a token.
But not in the conventional way.
We studied the flywheel strategy that became popular toward the end of last year. We looked at what worked, what failed and how we could build a healthier and more sustainable version for Claymons.
The first major difference is that there will be no token raise.
The token will be distributed through a free airdrop. Claymons holders will receive the largest allocation by far. A smaller allocation will go to selected communities such as the CCFF00 Squares with more communities to be announced in the coming days.
These communities are an important part of what is being created on Robinhood Chain. After discussing this with our holders, the general vision appears to have strong support. However, Claymons holders will always remain the primary beneficiaries.
The second major difference concerns the trading fees.
Once the token launches, trading activity will generate a creator share of the fees. The exact percentage will depend on the final launch structure and will be published transparently before launch.
Previous flywheel strategies often used these fees to sweep the NFT floor and send everything back into a treasury wallet. Eventually, one wallet could accumulate an enormous percentage of the NFT supply.
We do not believe that is healthy or sustainable.
Instead, we will create a transparent leaderboard based on holder support, community activity and meaningful contributions to Claymons.
A portion of the trading fees, the Claymons acquired through floor sweeps and additional ecosystem rewards will be distributed back to our strongest and most active holders.
The goal is simple.
Activity creates value. That value supports Claymons. The Claymons and rewards then return to the community instead of accumulating inside a treasury wallet.
The token will also have real uses within the Claymons ecosystem. It will be integrated into Clay Studio V2, which we aim to release next month.
Most of you already know the original Clay Studio that allowed holders to design their own backgrounds. V2 will expand significantly on that foundation and introduce many more creative possibilities.
This is a major step for the Claymons ecosystem. We are trying to build it as fairly and transparently as possible for the holders and communities that supported us from the beginning.
Detailed tokenomics, allocations and further information about the launch will be announced in the coming days.
We strongly believe this is the right direction, but we want to hear your thoughts before putting the final plans into motion.
Thank you for your support so far. Great things are on the way.
