TETRIS allocation

7.1. Allocation principles

TETRIS allocation is designed to:

• ensure sustainable funding for RUBT and POL;

• align the team, early participants, and strategic partners with long-term DAO goals;

• transfer a meaningful share of future governance and incentives to users, LPs, and partners through incentive pools and ecosystem programs;

• avoid using additional TETRIS issuance as a profit distribution mechanism, preserving the non-profit nature of the DAO.

7.2. Allocation structure

Category	Share	Cliff	Unlock / Vesting	Notes
Team and key contributors	25%	12 months	36 months, linear	Same terms as early investors
Early investors	5%	12 months	36 months, linear	Identical to team terms
Strategic partners	5%	0	48 months, linear	Mandatory conversion into veTETRIS
DAO treasury and POL	25%	0	12–18 months, linear	POL, reserves, operating needs
Incentive pool (Points, users)	32%	0	60 months, decreasing emissions	Incentives for users and partners
Ecosystem and grants	3%	0–6 months	24 months, linear	Integration and product support
Strategic reserve	5%	0	24 months, linear	CEX listings, deals, forwards

7.3. Insider allocations and a unified schedule

Team and early investors (25% + 5%):

• unified terms: 12-month cliff and 36-month linear vesting;

• focus on long-term protocol development rather than fast unlocks.

Strategic partners (5%):

• no cliff, but 48-month unlock and mandatory conversion into veTETRIS;

• effectively a four-year governance commitment, aligning participation with long-term protocol rule-setting and partner terms.

7.4. Treasury, incentives, ecosystem, and reserve

• DAO treasury and POL (25%): accelerated unlock (12–18 months) to quickly deploy RUBT protocol liquidity and form a resilient DAO treasury.

• Incentive pool (32%): main source of TETRIS/veTETRIS for users, LPs, and partners; distributed via Points programs, liquidity mechanics, and institutional partner programs with gradually declining emissions.

• Ecosystem (3%) and strategic reserve (5%): resources for targeted grants, integrations, listings, and strategic deals; use constrained by DAO mission and non-profit regime.

7.5. Protection against short-term distortions

The cliff/vesting structure:

• smooths supply over multiple horizons (12–18, 24, 36, 48, 60 months);

• prioritizes infrastructure over short-term monetization (treasury and POL unlock earlier);

• ties TETRIS distribution to real contribution to RUBT volume and ecosystem development, including partner settlement perimeters where the Monetary Claim under RUBT is settled in RUB via the Settlement Agent on Execution Platforms;

• anchors governance influence with long-term participants via veTETRIS.
