Token Ideology

Airlinez aims to launch a token in late 2025.


Positive developments in US governance, and the rise of community fundraising services like echo.xyz, have made us very optimistic about the feasibility of launching a token in much better general market conditions than we have seen over the last few years.


Here is our tokenisation ideology:

  1. We want to raise through the community to the greatest degree possible.  Retail crypto traders who are the first to find new opportunities have been egregiously abused by the token meta in recent years.
  2. We want regular retail traders to get in first, and get in cheaply.  There is no better way to build a real community than to have a core group of people who are both excited about your product, and up on their investments.  A low launch cap is fine.  Let’s all make it together.
  3.  We want to share profits with token holders.  Buying the token should entitle you to a share of the platform income.  This is more challenging as it requires more legal wrangling, but it’s absolutely our long term goal.
  4. We want to reward token holders with in-game rewards.  Each token held can count as a “lottery ticket” into, for example, high value exclusive games.  Simply holding the token gives you the chance to win a seat in these high profile matches.  Chainlink’s Verifiable Randomness Function means that players know that it’s a completely fair lottery.  (Team tokens will not be eligible for these rewards).

Basically overall we want a token that people are legitimately excited to buy and hold for more than just a quick flip.  Something that confers real value, that rewards early investors, and that brings back the excitement I used to feel in 2017, about the endless possibilities of tokenisation.


Although this time, we’re actually creating something real, sustainable and built to last.



 Distribution

The finer points of token distribution are still being decided, although they will be in keeping with the stances laid out above.

We will launch our MVP in a non-monetised "Pre-Season" that will allow us to audit the contracts, iron out any bugs, ensure compliance, and give early adopters a chance to become familiar with the platform. Those assisting us as game testers at that stage is something we hope to reward considerably.

We intend to eventually be part of the Chainlink BUILD program, providing us accelerated access to Chainlink services, in which case up to 5% of the token supply will be provided to Chainlink network operators.

On top of that, it would be ideal for up to 5% of the Airlinez treasury to be invested in the LINK token directly (as a way to insulate the protocol against fluctuating LINK prices) as the Airlinez platform is heavily dependent on Chainlink services to work properly.

Beyond that, our priority will be on a fair, wide distribution that works in favour of the native crypto community, and aims to build out as much goodwill, real gains, and positivity as possible.
