* **Community (51%)**
  This allocation will be distributed through a fair launch with the remaining serving as rewards to long-term supporters of the SOON ecosystem. More information coming next week.
* **Ecosystem (25%)**
  The ecosystem fund is set aside to support the development and growth of the broader \$SOON ecosystem. It includes funding for partnerships, developer grants, third-party integrations, and other strategic investments that enhance the ecosystem.
* **Airdrop & Liquidity (8%)**
  This allocation is for airdrops and providing liquidity to exchanges. Airdrops are used to attract new users, incentivize adoption, and reward early supporters. Liquidity ensures smooth trading of \$SOON tokens in the market.
* **Foundation / Treasury (6%)**
  This allocation is reserved for the long-term sustainability of the \$SOON project. They act as a financial buffer to ensure the foundation can operate, fund research and development, and respond to future needs or crises. This category supports operational expenses, strategic initiatives, and governance-driven decisions for reallocation, ensuring the project’s health over time.
* **Team & Cobuilders (10%)**
  This allocation rewards the core team and early contributors (co-builders) who have been instrumental in creating and launching the project. It ensures that key stakeholders are incentivized to stay aligned with the project’s goals.

## \$SOON Utilities

\$SOON serves as the core utility token within the **SOON Ecosystem**, empowering a range of functionalities that promote ecosystem growth and ensure network operations. Its primary utilities include:

**Governance**

\$SOON holders have the right to vote on critical decisions within the SOON Mainnet and SOON Chains created using the SOON Stack.

Governance allows holders to:

* Propose or approve protocol upgrades to the SOON Mainnet.
* Vote on resource allocation for ecosystem development and community grants.
* Decide on treasury management and reward distribution mechanisms for builders and contributors.
* Participate in key decisions.

**Native Asset of the SOON Ecosystem**

\$SOON is the native token for all components of the SOON Ecosystem, acting as the backbone of network activities across SOON Mainnet and various SOON Chains.

**Incentives for Builders and Ecosystem Growth**

\$SOON will serve as an incentive token for developers, builders, and ecosystem projects, encouraging innovation and ecosystem participation.

Builders can earn \$SOON for creating infrastructure, decentralized apps (dApps), or tools that enhance the functionality of SOON Chains.

Projects contributing to the ecosystem’s success may be rewarded with \$SOON tokens through grant programs, partnerships, or performance-based incentives.

**Staking**

The SOON Network is set to implement an innovative fast-finality settlement mechanism, providing an alternative to both validity and optimistic rollups.

Fast finality will be enabled by a set of validators who stake \$SOON to provide security. Active validators will receive staking rewards, including an annual 3% token incentive.
