Starting this account to document how I farm onchain incentives and how I read market structure.
No signals. No paid groups.
Just real experiments, results, and onchain thoughts.
I’ve read this carefully.
And here’s the core issue no amount of words can hide:
You say you don’t want one-time extractors, you want long-term aligned users.
Fine.
That’s reasonable.
But that’s not what the community is asking for.
We’re not asking for a bigger payout.
We’re asking for a fairer split.
⸻
You frame it as:
“We won’t allocate too much to people who won’t stay”
But the reality is:
•S1 + S2 users generated real revenue
•Paid fees
•Took market risk
•Built liquidity
•Gave you ~$14M in fees
And yet, they end up with ~16% combined.
Meanwhile:
•Strategic partners
•NFTs
•PUP holders
•External ecosystems
…get treated as long-term alignment by default.
That’s where the disconnect is.
⸻
You keep repeating:
“The bigger rewards come after TGE”
But that’s exactly the problem.
You’re asking early users to:
•take the risk first
•generate revenue first
•endure the uncertainty
and then trust that future rewards will be fairer.
That’s not alignment.
That’s deferral.
⸻
No one here is asking to drain the treasury in one extraction.
We’re saying:
👉 Don’t underpay the people who already proved alignment.
Long-term belief shouldn’t come at the cost of being diluted by everyone except the people who actually used the product.
⸻
This isn’t noise.
This isn’t mercenary flow.
This isn’t outsiders.
This is core users saying:
“We feel farmed.”
And no amount of philosophy about “time” changes the math.
⸻
If you truly believe in long-term alignment, the solution is simple:
•reward early users more, not just later
•stop framing criticism as short-term thinking
•and adjust the distribution, not just the explanation
Until numbers change, this is still:
better storytelling, same tokenomics.

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE (NO BS) 🚨
I’ve read the full Based response carefully.
Reality check:
❌ Tokenomics have NOT changed
❌ Allocations remain exactly the same
❌ Community dilution is still there
What changed?
👉 The narrative, not the numbers.
They admit:
•bad communication 😬
•confusion 🤷♂️
•“complex tokenomics” 🧠
But when you strip the essay down, the outcome is simple:
📉 S1 + S2 users still get ~16%
📦 Ethena + PUP + NFTs still eat a massive chunk
🪙 Season 3 still dilutes early users
⏳ Claims still far away
This isn’t a fix.
This is explaining extraction in nicer words.
If tokenomics stay like this:
🔥 they farmed the farmers
🔥 revenue generators get underpaid
🔥 loyalty is used as a slogan, not rewarded
Based the product ≠ Based the distribution.
Until allocations actually change,
this is just PR + damage control.
Eyes open.
Read numbers, not threads. 👀📊

This is the typical perma-bull take 🤡
📈Refusing to accept reality.
In my opinion, the cycle already topped 🏔️
ATH is in. From here it’s distribution → bear market 🐻
And that’s fine.
Because real money isn’t made during euphoria 🥂
It’s made during the bear, quietly positioning while everyone else is coping 🧠
💰Bull markets reward exposure.
Bear markets build wealth. 🧑🌾📉
Backpack tokenomics looking clean 👀✅
•1B supply
•25% launching at TGE
•240M to points holders
•10M to MadLads
This is how you take care of a community 🤝
Based should take notes 📝@BasedOneX
You don’t “support users” by posting nice tweets…
you do it in the allocation.
📢 Based team update
Team acknowledged the backlash around tokenomics and confirmed they’re:
•reviewing all feedback 📝
•preparing a response + concrete actions ⏳
•admitting miscommunication issues ❗️
No malicious intent, just bad optics.
Now it’s on them to fix it properly, not just explain it.
Community is watching 👀
Alright boys… Based just dropped the $BASED tokenomics 🧾
And now I fully understand why Discord is on fire 🔥💀
The headline looks amazing:
36% “community” allocation 🧑🌾✅
But once you actually read the breakdown… 😬
Reality check 👇
Inside that “community” bucket you have:
7.5% → Ethena / HyENA 🐍
5% → Season 3 (future users) 💎
BasedPals 🖼️
PUP holders 🐶
launch partners 🤝
So the “36% for users” narrative is… not really true.
What do the actual farmers get? 🧑🌾
Season 1 (XP): 8%
Season 2 (GOLD): 8%
That’s the core issue.
The optics are bad 😭
You’re basically giving:
almost a full season worth of tokens
to a Hyperliquid perp collab (HyENA) 🧠⚡️
while the users who generated the revenue get 8% each 💀
Not saying Based are scammers 🚫
But they definitely fumbled the community optics hard 🥴

🧾 Supply
Fixed supply: 1,000,000,000 $BASED
No inflation games.
⸻
🧑🌾 Allocation (the key)
•36% Community
•23.64% Ecosystem + future rewards
•20.36% Investors
•20% Team
This is already better than most “community = 5%” launches.
⸻
🎁 Genesis distribution (what matters for farmers)
23.5% goes to:
•Season 1 + Season 2 users
•PUP holders
•BasedPal NFT holders
•launch partners
➡️ Claimable at TGE, no vesting (targeting March 2026)
That’s huge.
⸻
💎 Season 3
5% reserved for Season 3 participants.
Season 3 runs until May 4, 2026
Tokens claimable May 11, 2026
(no vesting)
⸻
🔒 Vesting (investors + team)
Both have:
3-year vesting
•1 year cliff
•monthly unlock after
This reduces insta-dump risk early.
⸻
🧠 My take
The interesting part isn’t the “utility list”.
The interesting part is this:
They’re trying to avoid the classic
low-float / high-FDV extraction meta.
Now it’s simple:
Tokenomics look fair.
Execution decides everything.
