  13. Preparing auction infrastructure
  14. Testing all components

🚀 Step 3: Auction Launch

The 14-day auction period begins:

  1. Auction Announcement

  2. Public notification of auction start

  3. Repository details and tokenomics shared

  4. Community outreach and marketing

  5. Token Distribution

  6. 50% of the supply is distributed to contributors

  7. Pro-rata allocation based on USDC contributions

  8. Fair participation model throughout the auction period

  9. Auction Monitoring

  10. Real-time tracking of contributions
  11. Updates on token distribution
  12. Community engagement and support

💎 Step 4: Post-Auction Activities

After the auction concludes:

  3. 40% to liquidity of the Raydium pool

  4. 10% reserved for future GitHub contributors

  5. Liquidity Pool Creation

  6. Initial pool seeded with 40% of token supply and auction proceeds (USDC)

  7. Automated market maker configured

  8. Trading parameters established

  9. Trading Activation

  10. Repository tokens become tradable
  11. Fee distribution mechanism activated

  2. Immediate funding through auction proceeds

  3. Sustainable revenue through 50% of trading fees
  4. Enhanced visibility and community engagement

  5. Resources for continued development

  6. For Token Holders

  7. Ability to support valuable open-source projects

  12. Correction of the imbalance where billions flow into open source while contributors get pennies
  13. Sustainable funding models for critical infrastructure
  14. Aligned incentives between developers and users
  15. Enhanced innovation and security

The tokenization process transforms how open-source development is funded, creating a more equitable ecosystem where value creation and compensation are properly aligned.
