Strategic Alignment

This structure prevents market oversaturation during the early stages through disciplined vesting schedules. The significant allocation to the DAO Treasury and Ecosystem Fund guarantees that ARX can fund its own evolution and weather various market cycles.

Vesting for Stability With cliffs ranging from 6 to 12 months for core stakeholders, the tokenomics are engineered to prevent short-term volatility and ensure that those with the most influence are committed to the network's multi-year roadmap.
