The developer believes that STONX distribution should follow an open market structure accessible under transparent rules, rather than a structure that grants privileged pre-allocation rights to specific insiders. Accordingly, STONX is designed as a market-facing allocation model without team allocation, founder reserve, or hidden insider allocation. The total supply is allocated to DEX liquidity, direct sale, strategic ecosystem partners, and listing or liquidity preparation. | Item | Structure | | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Total Supply | 1,200,000,000 STONX | | Team Allocation | None | | Founder Reserve | None | | Hidden Insider Allocation | None | | Additional Mint | None | | Primary Utility | Participation in mining pools for Gem NFT mining | | Mechanism | Acquire STONX -> Stake -> Generate Mining Power -> Accumulate PoM -> Claim Gem NFT | | Supply Trust | Supply, pool structure, probability tables, and claim conditions are verifiable through contracts and public data | ## 15.1 Allocation | Allocation | Ratio | TGE Unlock | Lock / Vesting | Rationale | | --------------------------- | ----: | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | DEX Liquidity Reserve | 50% | Supplied in phases only to the extent required for initial liquidity | Long-term LP lock or burn; remaining supply used gradually for liquidity expansion | Secures the largest open on-chain entry path | | Direct Sale Pool | 20% | Public sale within the sale contract limits | Unsold supply remains in the pool and is released gradually | Provides a direct path to obtain STONX for mining participation | | Strategic / VC Allocation | 10% | 0% or limited initial unlock | 6-month cliff + 24-month linear vesting | Reserved for exchanges, infrastructure, and strategic ecosystem partners | | Listing / Liquidity Reserve | 20% | Used only as needed for listing preparation and market making | Public wallet management, purpose-limited use, phased execution | Supports centralized exchange liquidity, campaigns, and market stability | DEX Liquidity Reserve receives the largest allocation because STONX should primarily be accessible through public markets. The Direct Sale Pool helps new users acquire the STONX needed for mining without navigating complex trading routes. Strategic / VC Allocation is limited to ecosystem expansion partners, and long-term vesting is used to reduce short-term sell pressure. Listing / Liquidity Reserve is a purpose-bound reserve for listings, market making, campaigns, and market stability. Users can acquire STONX through public markets or direct sale channels and deposit it into the stone mining pool of their choice. They then generate Mining Power from the staked STONX and accumulate Proof of Mining, or PoM, over time. Once the accumulated PoM reaches the required threshold of the corresponding pool, the user can claim a Gem NFT. In this structure, DEX and Direct Sale are public entry paths to STONX, while mining pools are the actual use case of STONX. In other words, STONX is not designed merely for holding or speculative circulation; it functions as a protocol resource for participating in digital gemstone mining. For this open allocation structure to gain trust, the initial liquidity supply method, LP handling method, contract permissions, impossibility of additional issuance, and major reserve wallets should be clearly disclosed. Initial LP tokens should preferably be locked for the long term or burned. This reduces concerns about liquidity withdrawal and strengthens trust in STONX's open market access model. CryptoStone's trust is formed not by privileged allocations to specific parties, but by fixed total supply, no team allocation, immutable mining rules, verifiable PoM structure, and on-chain transparency. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://doc.cryptostone.org/mining-system/15_100_public_circulation_structure_of_stone.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
