Ubeswap separates allocation size from initial UBE unlocks in its 2024 tokenomics
Updated on
Ubeswap uses a 250,000,000 UBE allocation base for its 2024 tokenomics, with separate initial unlock percentages for seven categories. Each allocation percentage measures a category's share of the full plan. Its token generation event (TGE) percentage measures the portion of that category initially unlocked. Multiplying those percentages gives the category's launch share of the whole allocation. This distinction separates a total token budget from initial availability, while later vesting releases and circulating supply remain different quantities.
Key takeaway: The 2024 UBE plan gives Partnership/Ecosystem a smaller allocation than Marketing / Listing, yet a larger initial unlock.
Allocation Shares and TGE Percentages
The 2024 tokenomics plan assigns a total of 250,000,000 UBE across its allocation categories. That total supplies the denominator for the allocation column. A category's token amount equals the total multiplied by its allocation share. The separate TGE percentage then applies to that category's amount, producing its initial unlock in UBE.
The two percentage columns therefore answer different questions. Allocation describes how much of the complete plan belongs to a funding or recipient category. The TGE percentage describes how much of that category starts unlocked. A category with a 100% TGE entry has its full allocation unlocked under the launch schedule. That entry applies to the category amount, rather than the entire 250,000,000 UBE allocation base.
Holders and DAO Treasury
The Holders category receives 30% of the 2024 allocation, or 75,000,000 UBE, with a 100% TGE unlock. Its full category amount therefore belongs to the initial portion. The DAO Treasury receives a separate 3%, or 7,500,000 UBE, also with a 100% TGE unlock. Those figures describe two distinct allocations, even though their initial-unlock percentages match.
Together, these categories account for 82,500,000 UBE initially unlocked, equivalent to 33% of the complete allocation. Their contribution follows directly from their allocation sizes because neither has a percentage withheld from the initial portion.
Mining Reserve and Partnership Funding
The Mining Reserve receives 12% of the allocation base, equal to 30,000,000 UBE. Its 10% TGE entry initially unlocks 3,000,000 UBE. Subtracting that initial portion leaves 27,000,000 UBE outside the launch unlock. This reserve is a token-budget category; liquidity pools have their own balances and farming incentives.
Partnership/Ecosystem receives 17%, or 42,500,000 UBE, with 30% of that allocation unlocked at TGE. Its initial portion is therefore 12,750,000 UBE, leaving 29,750,000 UBE beyond the initial unlock. The larger TGE percentage releases a greater fraction of this category's budget.
Marketing, Team and Advisory Portions
Marketing / Listing receives 23% of the complete allocation, or 57,500,000 UBE. Its 20% TGE unlock corresponds to 11,500,000 UBE initially unlocked. The remaining 46,000,000 UBE belongs to the portion outside that initial release.
The Team category has a 5% TGE unlock in the 2024 plan. Its full allocation is 13% of the total, or 32,500,000 UBE. Applying the initial-unlock percentage gives 1,625,000 UBE at TGE and leaves 30,875,000 UBE beyond that initial portion.
Advisors receive 2% of the allocation base, equal to 5,000,000 UBE, with a 0% TGE unlock. The entire advisory allocation therefore falls outside the initial release.
What Was the Initial UBE Unlock in the 2024 Plan?
The 2024 percentages imply an initial unlock of 111,375,000 UBE, equivalent to 44.55% of the 250,000,000 UBE allocation base. This calculation adds the initial token amounts from all seven categories. It weights every TGE percentage by the size of its allocation, so a small category cannot contribute as many tokens as an equally unlocked larger category.
The complementary amount is 138,625,000 UBE, or 55.45% of the complete allocation. That figure describes the portion outside the initial unlock under the 2024 plan. It is a historical starting quantity, separate from any balance remaining under vesting after subsequent releases.
A Hypothetical Initial-Unlock Calculation
A constant allocation amount isolates how a TGE percentage changes the initial unlock. Allocation (UBE): 18,734. TGE unlock (%): 10, using the Mining Reserve's documented initial percentage. The formula is
allocation * tge_percent / 100
. Initial unlock: 1,873.4 UBE.
Keeping the allocation unchanged, the Marketing / Listing rate of 20% produces an initial unlock of 3,746.8 UBE. The higher rate adds 1,873.4 UBE to the initial portion while leaving the complete allocation unchanged. The actual Mining Reserve and Marketing / Listing budgets have different sizes; their real initial amounts use their respective published category totals.
Vesting Dates and Release Intervals
The holder-approved tokenomics change took effect on March 16, 2024, the stated TGE date. That milestone identifies the launch allocation context; vesting configurations also have their own start timestamps and release intervals.
The vesting deployment configuration for the 2024 tokenomics sets Mining Reserve, Ecosystem and Team durations to 156 weeks. Each of those configurations uses a one-week interval. The interval divides a schedule into release periods; the duration covers the full configured vesting period.
Marketing has a separate deployment configuration with a 60-day duration and 30-day intervals. Those values describe that configuration, without establishing the same timing for other allocation categories.
Advisory vesting uses a June 15, 2024 start timestamp, a 142-week duration and one-week intervals in that configuration. Contract start timestamps and the public TGE date serve different purposes. Scheduled availability also differs from an amount already transferred to a beneficiary.
Does the Launch Unlock Equal Circulating Supply?
The launch unlock and circulating supply measure different states of UBE. The calculated initial total describes category amounts scheduled as unlocked at TGE. It does not measure how many tokens reached trading markets or remained in recipient wallets. A treasury can hold unlocked tokens without placing its complete allocation into market circulation.
Later vesting releases change availability beyond the initial portion. They do not alter the original allocation percentages merely because time passes. Consequently, the 44.55% initial figure cannot serve as a current circulating-supply percentage, and the complementary 55.45% cannot serve as a current locked-supply percentage.
Category Rates and Whole-Plan Contributions
The Team's 5% initial-unlock rate contributes 0.65% of the entire allocation base at TGE. That follows from its 13% allocation share multiplied by its 5% TGE percentage. Expressing each category on the same whole-plan basis allows their contributions to the combined initial unlock to be compared directly.
Full allocation size and initial token availability can produce different rankings. Marketing / Listing has the larger total allocation at 57,500,000 UBE, compared with Partnership/Ecosystem's 42,500,000 UBE. Partnership/Ecosystem nevertheless has the larger initial portion: 12,750,000 UBE against Marketing / Listing's 11,500,000 UBE. Its 30% TGE rate unlocks more tokens initially than the 20% rate applied to the larger marketing allocation.
What readers ask about Ubeswap
-
Does the 12% Mining Reserve Allocation Represent a Farming APY?
- The 12% Mining Reserve allocation is a share of the 2024 token budget, not an annual percentage yield. It assigns 30,000,000 UBE to that category without specifying an individual farm's reward rate. An APY describes an annualized return under its applicable assumptions; an allocation percentage describes how a token budget is divided.
-
Can the Holders Percentage Determine a wallet's Conversion Amount?
- An individual wallet's conversion amount cannot be derived from the 30% Holders allocation. That percentage assigns 75,000,000 UBE to a category within the 2024 plan. A category's supply share does not define a per-wallet entitlement or a conversion ratio, which require their own applicable conversion rules.
-
Does the Marketing / Listing Allocation Guarantee an Exchange Listing?
- A Marketing / Listing allocation does not commit an exchange to listing UBE. The 2024 plan assigns 57,500,000 UBE to that funding category, with a separate initial-unlock percentage. The budget label identifies its purpose; it does not establish a particular venue's acceptance, listing date or completed listing.
-
Are UBE Market Prices Needed to Calculate the Initial Unlock?
- The initial-unlock calculation uses token quantities and category percentages, so it does not require a market price. A price change affects the currency value of a given token amount while leaving its UBE count unchanged.
-
How Should UBE Allocation Charts From Before March 2024 Be Interpreted?
- Earlier UBE allocation percentages belong to the token economy in effect when that plan applied. The 2024 plan uses a 250,000,000 UBE allocation base and a holder-approved change effective March 16, 2024. An older percentage can use that denominator only when it describes the same allocation plan.
