You may think that after the launch of a new project's platform token, the next step is a battle of pressure to cash out, especially for projects that lack a locking mechanism or have vague unlocking schedules, which often fall into a "countdown to zero" right after the initial trading heat passes. However, as far as I know, Holoworld has put considerable effort into the design of HOLO to address this longstanding industry issue: by implementing a clear, transparent, and well-structured linear unlocking mechanism, transforming the platform token into the "fuel" for ecological growth, rather than a "risk bomb." @Holoworld AI #HoloworldAI $HOLO
✦ The project team does not engage in 'centralized distribution', and linear release fosters long-term confidence.
I noticed that HOLO is not a token that is fully released upon launch. The Tokenomics announced by the official shows that the holdings of the team, advisors, community, and ecological funds all have clear linear release curves. What does this mean? It means that only a small portion is released each month, distributed evenly over the month, rather than suddenly unlocking a large amount and causing a market crash on a specific day. This rhythm is essentially aimed at avoiding 'panic selling', stabilizing market sentiment, and benefiting long-term holders for a secure layout.
✦ The release of community and ecological tokens is more skewed to the later stage, prioritizing liquidity and usage incentives.
According to Holoworld's token distribution structure, the release arrangements for community building and ecological expansion are relatively later. The logic behind this is simple: in the early stages, they do not give all the chips to airdrop recipients and the secondary market, but rather prioritize those who genuinely participate in building the ecology, such as character developers, plugin providers, and platform user task incentives. Those who use the platform will gradually earn HOLO, which not only avoids excessive concentration of early chips but also ensures the authenticity and effectiveness of ecological incentives.
✦ The token rewards for creators and developers are also designed into a 'slow release' system.
Not all platforms understand one logic: incentives cannot be given all at once. Holoworld has also implemented a lock-up design in the creator incentive section. For instance, projects supported through Hololaunch do not receive their token rewards all at once, but are linked to the platform's activity levels, usage data, and other behaviors, released slowly according to a certain rhythm. This creates a resonance of interests between creators and the platform, rather than 'taking the rewards and running'.
✦ The total circulation is well controlled, with less than 17% released at the first launch.
According to official information, the total supply of HOLO is 2,048,000,000, but the initial circulating supply is controlled at 347,139,850 tokens, accounting for approximately 16.96% of the total. This combination of low circulation and linear release effectively compresses the supply-demand relationship within a healthy range. It prevents daily sharp declines in releases and ensures that supply does not fall short of user needs.
✦ The unlocking rhythm is completely public, verifiable on-chain, eliminating 'dark box operations'.
What the industry fears most is that project teams engage in 'shadow unlocking' or 'temporary rule changes'. Holoworld has documented all unlocking plans for HOLO in the white paper and on the official website, and even future plans will be recorded on-chain. Every token release is clear and traceable, with no hidden space. This level of transparency really boosts user confidence, making them willing to stay long-term.
✦ The release design aligns with platform growth, avoiding 'tokens flying first, while the market falls'.
Interestingly, the release cycle of HOLO aligns very well with the platform's ecological expansion rhythm. For example, there are character development competitions, plugin release plans, and governance upgrade roadmaps every quarter, along with the release of some token resources to support these growth nodes. This 'growing while releasing' design is actually more stable than coins that rely entirely on market games.
Overall, Holoworld does not treat HOLO as a 'financing tool' or a 'hot potato game currency'. They clearly intend for it to become a foundational asset for the long-term ecology, rather than a short-term speculative item. From the unlocking mechanism, distribution rhythm, transparent disclosure, to behavior linkage, all details reflect a 'long-termism'.
When a platform token is no longer about 'rushing to escape', but rather 'slowly using and earning in the long term', I believe its value truly begins to flow.
