SURCHI token distribution was designed around a single principle: every token belongs to the community. There are no private rounds, no VC allocations, no advisor tranches, and no team wallet. The 19,897,905 SURCHI tokens in existence are distributed across three categories — all of which are public, community-facing, and governed transparently.

​
Distribution Overview

SURCHI’s total supply is allocated across three categories: 1. Public Presale The Public Presale allocation covers tokens made available to the community during the initial launch phase. Presale participants acquire SURCHI at launch pricing, giving early community members access before the token is broadly tradeable on open markets. The presale is open to all — there are no whitelists that exclude the public in favor of private participants, and no tiered pricing structures that disadvantage retail buyers relative to institutional ones. Community-first means the community gets access first. 2. Liquidity Allocation A dedicated portion of the total supply is reserved to seed DEX liquidity pools — specifically the SOL/SURCHI trading pair on Solana DEXs. This allocation ensures:
  • Healthy trading depth from day one, enabling meaningful position sizes without excessive slippage.
  • A stable market foundation that doesn’t depend on third-party liquidity providers to function.
  • Transparency in pool seeding — all liquidity provision transactions are publicly verifiable on-chain.
Liquidity allocation tokens are committed to on-chain pools, not held in a team-controlled wallet. 3. Community Reserve The Community Reserve is held in the DAO treasury — a multisig-controlled wallet governed by SURCHI token holders. It exists for one purpose: the long-term growth and sustainability of the protocol and its ecosystem. The reserve is available for:
  • Ecosystem grants — funding developers, integrators, and projects building on SURCHI infrastructure.
  • Protocol development — audits, infrastructure costs, and technical development funding approved by governance.
  • Partnerships — strategic integrations with Solana protocols, data providers, and DeFi infrastructure.
  • Community initiatives — events, education, and community-building programs approved via governance vote.
Every allocation from the Community Reserve requires a governance vote. No funds can be deployed unilaterally.
Exact percentage allocations for each category will be published at the time of the public presale. Check official SURCHI channels for the definitive figures — do not rely on third-party sources.

​
Zero Team Allocation

The absence of team tokens is a deliberate architectural decision, not a marketing claim. Here is why it matters: No insider selling pressure. When teams hold large token allocations, they create structural sell pressure — particularly at vesting cliff dates. With zero team allocation, there are no insider wallets waiting to exit at your expense. No misaligned incentives. Team allocations create a perverse incentive: teams benefit from token price appreciation regardless of whether the protocol is delivering real value. SURCHI’s team is compensated from protocol revenue — meaning their financial outcome is directly tied to how much value the protocol generates for users, not to how high they can push a token price. No hidden overhang. Even vested team tokens represent future supply. Every project with team allocation carries an implicit ceiling on price appreciation until those tokens are fully distributed. SURCHI carries no such overhang — the supply is what it is, right now, in full. This structure puts the SURCHI team in the same position as every other token holder: their returns depend on the protocol succeeding, not on token mechanics that benefit insiders at the community’s expense.

​
Lock-Up and Vesting

Community Reserve tokens are held in a DAO-controlled multisig wallet. Release of Community Reserve funds requires:
  1. A formal governance proposal specifying amount, purpose, and recipient.
  2. A seven-day voting period with the standard quorum and majority thresholds.
  3. Execution via the multisig only after successful vote — no unilateral release is possible.
There is no time-based automatic unlocking. The Community Reserve is released only when the community votes to release it, for a specific and approved purpose. Liquidity Allocation tokens committed to on-chain pools are locked in protocol contracts. Any changes to liquidity pool parameters or withdrawal of protocol-owned liquidity requires governance approval.
Any claims about additional token allocations not described here — including private sale tranches, advisor wallets, team vesting schedules, or additional treasury reserves — are false. Always verify information through official SURCHI channels before making any financial decision.
