. @ethos_network token sale => bonuses for XP and for holding ethos validators. Yes i read their whitepaper for you + the rest of the docs including mica
sale.ethos[.]network/6D3SF8J
HEADS UP - IT'S LONG, but i wrote every word myself, no ai slop here, it's WORTH reading (burned almost 5 hours digging through docs so you dont have to)
> sale basics runs on Sonar sept 1-4 2026, tge sept 8 2026 BUT NO TRADING FOR ANOTHER 30 DAYS. tokens can only be used for vouching on the site
> geo bans are the usual crew - russia, uk, ukraine, north korea, china etc
> there is downside protection built in for 12 months after trading opens (from oct 8 2026), if you vouched your tokens into someone and NEVER WITHDREW them, you can request a refund and get 85% of your usdc back (or 90% if the sale clears above 75m fdv). you'll have to redo kyc though
> the sale itself is an english auction, roughly like megaeth was => min 1m fdv, max 99m fdv if it gets oversubscribed (doubtful) it goes fcfs, and how early you sent funds starts mattering
> total supply is 10,000,000 $WHUF
> how the auction works: everyone buys at the same price, say youre willing to pay up to 50m fdv = $5 per token. you put in your bid. if others are willing to pay $6, your bid doesnt fill. if everyone bids around your level or below, you get filled at your price
> if in theory youre fine taking it at 99m, you just bid $9.9 right away and wait to see how the auction ends if bids only add up to 60m you get filled at $6, if 25m then at $2.5, and so on. during the auction you can only lower your price. you cant pull out
> bonus tokens = 2% of supply 100k $WHUF split between XP participants and Validator NFT holders, plus 100k for referrals. minimum to qualify for the XP pool is 25k EXP.
> NFT snapshots are already taken, no point doing extra dances now
> XP weight is calculated as: deposit × XP^0.1. deposit matters more than XP. 2.5m XP gives you a coefficient of roughly 1.6 on weight. but if your deposit is 10x bigger, your bonus is 10x bigger, ~straight proportional
> this is before the validator share, which isnt known yet. if they hand validators 20% of the bonus pool, subtract another 20% from these numbers
> so depositing from an account with 1m XP beats depositing from one with 25k XP => bonus is almost 50% higher which means it makes sense to find a fren whose XP is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than yours. but then its his kyc, his wallet, and every risk that comes with that
WHY DOES THE TOKEN EVEN EXIST sale.ethos[.]network/6D3SF8J
> you are swapping all eth in the app to WHUF => vouches, trading, broker posts, everything
> 18% of supply goes to rewards for people vouching on ethos, long emission stretched over ~20 years, front-loaded. apr is completely unknown until tge
> every fee inside the app is taken in the token and those coins get burned, making it deflationary
the protocol has no revenue and never will. they position themselves like ethereum and the ethereum foundation - they have treasury and team tokens and plan to sell into unlocks and live off that. "the ethos network is infrastructure, not a business"
> so the whole idea is that people will actually use it, and everything in the app runs on the token, meaning it gets bought and vouched into someone = staked. plus fee burns and if nobody uses it... well, first team unlock is only 12 months out
TOKENOMICS
Token Sale: 20% => 30 day lock from tge, and trading opens right at 30 days anyway
XP Bonus Pool: 2% => unlocks with the sale tokens
Team: 28.94% => 1 year cliff then 3 years of unlocks
Early supporters: 11.06% => 6 month cliff then 12 months of unlocks
Ecosystem Development: 5% => unlocks whenever they feel like it
Treasury: 10% => 8% has a 12 month cliff then linear over 24 months, 2% (liquidity) has a 30 day lock, available at the same unlock as the sale (oct 8 2026)
Bounties: 5% => unlocks whenever they feel like it
Contributor Rewards: 18% => gradual, paid out as vouching rewards
> back to the 85% (or 90%) refund on your usdc within a year if price goes down
important => to qualify you have to put your tokens into vouches within the first 30 days after the sale and never withdraw them if you want the refund
> the play here is obvious, they need to fill the protocol with liquidity so they incentivise it, plus that 18% vouching apr drips passively. but theyre planning to introduce financial slashing, so dont vouch for randoms
> the MiCA doc says theyre targeting a sale between $2.5 and $7.5, so between 25m and 75m fdv
i think 50m is very achievable, and given theyve now hired bold (https://t.co/75XdoaEQ5g) and are generally trying at marketing, theres a non zero chance they fill the whole thing at 99 (which honestly i'd rather they didnt - kills the upside)
> im aping in here sale.ethos[.]network/6D3SF8J, mostly in the name of art and technologyif the sale closes around 30-40m its a gem. at 99 its going to be VERY hard to grow.
but what i like is that "the only protocol fighting onchain scammers" is a story you can actually sell to retail, and a coinbase listing is obviously coming
hope you understood what you just read
