# Token release schedule

<figure><img src="/files/SxrTaH9qWeJKznx96EEt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The $AARNA token release schedule is designed to balance day-one liquidity with long-term alignment. A defined portion of supply unlocks at TGE to support trading and early participation, while the rest follows staged cliffs and linear vesting across investors, community, ecosystem, and treasury allocations. Any unused investor/presale allocation flows back into the treasury, so circulating supply expands in step with protocol growth, TVL build-up, and the underlying treasury flywheel.

The **aarnâ token distribution** balances immediate access with measured release. 10% is allocated for listing, fully unlocked at the Token Generation Event (TGE) to ensure liquidity from day one. The Investors/Presale allocation (up to 17%) is subdivided into three sections: Seed (5%) releases 10% at TGE, with the remaining 90% vesting over 18 months after a 6-month cliff; Community Raise (5%) releases 20% at TGE, with the remaining 80% vesting over 9 months after a 3-month cliff; and the remaining Investors/Presale (7%) releases 10% at TGE, with the remaining 90% vesting over 18 months after a 6-month cliff. Any unused portion of this 17% flows into Treasury II.

The Ecosystem/Community and Treasury allocations are each split into two parts. Ecosystem/Liquidity I (5%) and Treasury I (10%) are intended for immediate support. Ecosystem/Liquidity I (ASRT program) portion release 50% at the time of exchange after TGE (Token Generation Event) and the remaining 50% linearly over the following 5 months i.e, for ASRT holders received through staking rewards, this means that when they exchange ASRT for $AARNA, they will immediately receive half of their $AARNA at the time of exchange, with the remaining half vested and released evenly over the next 5 months, And Treasury I (10%) is released 50% at TGE and the remaining 50% linearly over the following 11 months. Meanwhile, **Ecosystem/Community II (5%)** and **Treasury II (24%)** allocations vest entirely over 12 months, but only after a flexible cliff determined by the â DAO based on market conditions, providing adaptability to community and market needs.

For internal alignment, the **Founders and Core Team** (19%) have a structured, long-term vesting schedule: an initial 10% vests over 12 months, followed by the remaining 90% vesting linearly over 36 months. Additionally, **Partnerships (5%)** receive 10% at TGE, with the remaining tokens vesting over a year post a 6-month cliff, incentivizing strong ongoing collaborations.
