$POP Tokenomics
$POP is the on-chain Jetton token of the CashPop protocol, issued on TON at TGE (Q1–Q2 2027).

In two paragraphs
CashPop runs a two-layer token economy. Layer 1 is POP — a non-transferable, off-chain accounting credit earned through gameplay. Layer 2 is $POP — a transferable, on-chain Jetton claimable at TGE proportional to accumulated POP, weighted by Trust Ladder tier and anti-Sybil checks. Until TGE, no token exists. The protocol is fully bootstrapped from ad revenue.
The total $POP supply is 10,000,000,000 (10 billion), of which 55% is allocated to community (30% Season 1 airdrop + 25% future-season pool), 15% to ecosystem and partnerships, 10% to team with a 12-month cliff and 36-month linear vesting, 10% to DAO-controlled treasury, 5% to initial liquidity, and 5% to strategic investors. Investor allocation is deliberately low: the protocol does not raise capital to fund operations. It earns its operating budget from advertising.
Why this distribution
The dominant failure mode in GameFi tokens — Axie Infinity, STEPN, most P2E experiments of 2021–2024 — is reflexivity collapse: token-paid rewards plus large insider allocations create irresistible sell pressure once early speculation cools. Holders dump, new users see falling prices and don't join, rewards fall further. CashPop's allocation is structurally different on every axis: low insider share, community-majority allocation, long vesting on insiders, and rewards funded by ad revenue (not token emission).
