According to Story’s initial incentive plan, its incentive philosophy is based on three core pillars: rewarding real users, incentivizing practical applications and innovative use cases, and ensuring long-term goal alignment.
The initial incentives account for 10% of the total IP supply. Half (5%) will be distributed to users through direct claims on the first day of the public mainnet launch and in the following months; the other half (5%) will be allocated to ecosystem projects, with a clear stipulation that all rewards must be issued to end users.
Starting from the first day of the public mainnet launch, the team will implement strict anti-sybil measures, including the use of the Passport scoring system, to ensure that in future initial incentive activities, more rewards can be fairly distributed to community members. The token allocation amount saved by Storys anti-sybil measures will be redistributed to real users in future initial incentive plans, aiming to ensure that Farmer cannot encroach on the rewards of participants who are consistent with Storys long-term development goals, and maintain the healthy development and fairness of the community.
