3. Fair Launch Emission
The Fair Launch Pool distributes 30% of the initial total supply (300,000,000 $DB) to participants through the Permaweb Index in a transparent and predictable schedule. This decentralized funding mechanism enables users to allocate AO yield to WeaveDB in exchange for $DB tokens, ensuring ongoing community support rather than one-time investments. Emission follows a daily exponential decay model to ensure fairness for early contributors while maintaining long-term sustainability.
Emission Model
Daily emissions start at 90,000 $DB and decay by 0.03% each day through a mathematical decay function (E_t = E_0 × r^t). This gradual reduction ensures early participants receive higher rewards while preventing sudden inflation spikes. The decay continues smoothly over years, producing approximately 31.2 million $DB in the first year, 56.4 million by year two, 76.8 million by year three, and ultimately approaching the full 300 million allocation over approximately 30-40 years.
Key Properties
- Decay Rate: 0.9997 per day (0.03% daily decay)
- Initial Daily Emission: 90,000 $DB
- Total Allocation: 300,000,000 $DB (30% of supply)
- Year 1 Distribution: 31.2M $DB (10.4% of FLP allocation)
- Transferability: Tokens from the Fair Launch Pool become transferable one year after FLP start

Cumulative Emission
Emission Schedule (Corrected for 0.9997 Decay)
| Timeframe | Daily Emission | Cumulative Emission | % of FLP Allocation | % of Total Supply |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | 90,000 $DB | 90,000 $DB | 0.03% | 0.009% |
| Month 1 | ~89,200 $DB | ~2.68M $DB | 0.89% | 0.27% |
| Month 6 | ~86,700 $DB | ~15.78M $DB | 5.26% | 1.58% |
| Year 1 | ~82,800 $DB | ~31.2M $DB | 10.4% | 3.12% |
| Year 2 | ~70,400 $DB | ~56.4M $DB | 18.8% | 5.64% |
| Year 3 | ~59,900 $DB | ~76.8M $DB | 25.6% | 7.68% |
| Year 5 | ~43,200 $DB | ~109.2M $DB | 36.4% | 10.92% |
| Year 10 | ~22,400 $DB | ~171.6M $DB | 57.2% | 17.16% |
| Year 15 | ~11,600 $DB | ~214.8M $DB | 71.6% | 21.48% |
| Year 20 | ~6,000 $DB | ~244.8M $DB | 81.6% | 24.48% |
Mathematical Reality
With the 0.9997 decay rate:
- 50% of FLP allocation (150M) distributed in approximately 8 years
- 75% of FLP allocation (225M) distributed in approximately 17 years
- 90% of FLP allocation (270M) distributed in approximately 35 years
- Never reaches exactly 300M - approaches asymptotically
This creates a balanced long-term distribution that provides meaningful early rewards while maintaining sustainability over decades. The 0.03% daily decay creates sufficient early participant advantage while avoiding the ultra-aggressive front-loading that can destabilize TGE periods.
