Public raise & Token Generation Event (TGE)
Details about Kittenswap’s Token Generation Event and launch strategy
Overview
The Kittenswap Token Generation Event (TGE) was designed to ensure a fair and transparent distribution of KITTEN and veKITTEN tokens and has successfully concluded, establishing a strong foundation for the protocol’s long-term success.
The raise for TGE was held in HYPE tokens on the HyperEVM over multiple rounds.
Participants can now claim their veKITTEN and KITTEN tokens on the dApp.
TGE raise price
15% of the veKITTEN/KITTEN was allocated for the TGE. The price was based on the raise FDV and round type. Read more about the NFT & Public Raise - TGE of KITTEN and veKITTEN tokens.
Launch price & initial liquidity
32,250 HYPE was paired with 60,000,000 KITTEN tokens (6% allocation) in a vAMM-KITTEN/HYPE pool to form the initial liquidity.
The initial price of KITTEN was approximately 0.0005375 HYPE per KITTEN at launch.
Claiming veKITTEN and KITTEN
At launch, claiming was available on the dApp, given a user-defined ratio (and instant exit penalty applied). Participants can still adjust their claim ratio under the same conditions.
The ratio will start at:
-
100% veKITTEN
-
0% KITTEN
By increasing the KITTEN ratio, participants needed to pay an instant exit penalty of 50% in HYPE token at the launch price.
The maximum ratio was:
-
50% veKITTEN
-
50% KITTEN
All exited penalties from the TGE have been used to defend the price floor and pair with the remaining 40,000,000 KITTEN tokens (4% allocation) to increase the protocol-owned liquidity.
Raised HYPE funds distribution
32,250 HYPE has been paired with KITTEN in a vAMM to form the initial liquidity pool.
The remaining HYPE is held in the treasury:
- External audits (when required) will be paid out from this
- Liquidity and vote bribing incentives
- Runway for development
