A decaying-time auction that sets the initial price. Contributions fast forward the clock. Everyone settles at the final price, bonuses for being early.
Tokens crafted with time.
The future of community ownership over time.
Members become emotionally and financially invested in any project where contributions are rewarded, ownership is onchain and long-term conviction is incentivised. Ponzu does this by fermenting tokens over time.

Presale
Let the market discover the price
Distribution
Reward your community.
Offer memberships. Require approval to join, or set a fee. Members earn rewards after launch. Great for community building.
TOKENOMICS
Brewed with the finest token engineering.
The fee splits 31% to members and 69% to the presale. But the presale can only claim once, so the allocation shifts to the members over time.
The initial fees splits based on LP created at launch, but anyone can stake to earn a share. The longer you lock, the more you earn.
Presale can be gated by group keys. The sale opens to that group. You set a whitelist for the presale, that becomes public at launch. Curation becomes key.
Launch a token without a start date. Build community first. Start the auction clock once the community has a membership count or treasury balance.
The Ponzu Framework
Auctions
A new hyperbolic dutch auction. Everyone settles at one clearing price.
Vesting
Diamond hand vesting, exit anytime, but you can only claim once.
Rewards
Exit tax and swap fees get redistributed based on veLP.
Memberships
Approvals, vouching or minting to add members to the community.
Chat
Group chat where tokens and member shares can be sent.
Farm
Stake LP. Earn from trading, the longer you lock, the larger your share.
Market
Presale cards are transferable, swapping on secondary while vesting.
Futarchy
Opt in, decision markets for treasury spending.
White-label the Ponzu protocol.

Ponzu: Conviction Tokens
Tokens have devolved into casinos. What if you could engineer a token that was economically irrational to dump in the first hour. Can you put conviction onchain?

Three Games, One Table
Every token launch has three players at the table. Each playing a completely different game. Took me eight years to finally see it.

Long Conviction
A counter-thesis to betting on extraction. The game can be changed. And the tool that changes it is the one thing that can't be faked, bought, or botted. Time.
