Token Emissions

Token emissions in DeFi represent the rate at which tokens are released into the market.

A key area of focus is ensuring an appropriate number of tokens are released to the market in line with the growth in the ecosystem. The at-launch planned token supply allocations across Yoints and Yapes have been repeated below for explanatory purposes of the emissions.

Significant analysis has been completed to ensure best-industry practices for the supply allocation of the Yeti-Apes ecosystem.

Emission rates that are depicted to have a cliff are locked and untouchable for a set period of time. Vesting periods represent the monthly earning rate after the cliff period. For example, a cliff of 6 months and a vesting period of 18 months, means the tokens are not available and locked for 6 months and then unlocked monthly for the full 18-month vesting period, a total of 24 months.

Tokens in the Community LP Incentives and Staking Pools are released constantly over time. The initial supply of rewards is allocated from the total supply and then will be reviewed annually for additional top-ups. This is consistent for both the Yapes and Yoints Community LPs and Staking Pools.

It is important to note that the below emission rates for Yoints and Yapes are subject to change based on evolving market and ecosystem circumstances. Any changes will be reflected on this page and communicated to the Yeti-Apes community.
