Token Architecture
PAIRTY is built around two tokens: personal tokens issued by Members and the PRTY utility token that supports the network.
Personal Tokens & The Bonding Curve
Each Member's active social capital economy is founded on a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) personal tokens. This granular supply allows accessible entry prices for early backers while enabling significant market cap growth.
Token Allocation
The allocation is hard-coded to align incentives between the Member, their Inviter, and the broader market:
| Allocation | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Member Allocation | 10% (100M) | Immediate "skin in the game"; inventory for staking in pairings |
| Inviter Allocation | 10% (100M) | Economic engine for the "One Invite" rule—permanent stake in invitee's success |
| Bonding Curve Reserve | 80% (800M) | Locked in smart contract for immediate, automated liquidity |
Pricing Mechanism
Personal token prices follow a quadratic bonding curve denominated in USD (or stablecoin equivalent):
Price = Base_Price × (Supply / Max_Supply)²
Where Base_Price is calibrated at launch to ensure accessible entry for early supporters while providing meaningful upside potential.
Key Properties
- Quadratic growth: Price increases exponentially as supply is purchased, heavily rewarding early believers (high risk, high reward) while stabilizing as Members mature
- Continuous liquidity: No counterparty required—the bonding curve acts as the market maker
- Liquidity reserve: Initially allocated tokens are functionally locked until sufficient external capital flows into the curve
Early Liquidity Safeguards
To protect market integrity during launch, PAIRTY implements multiple safeguards:
- Bonding-curve reserves: Ensuring sufficient liquidity backing at all times
- Liquidity bootstrapping: Controlled initial distribution mechanisms
- Sniper-bot protection: Technical measures preventing automated front-running
- Trading constraints: Graduated limits during early market formation
Trading Fees
Every trade (Buy/Sell) on the bonding curve incurs a 5% transaction fee, creating a recurring revenue engine:
- 2% → The Member: A perpetual royalty on their own trading volume, monetizing the "velocity" of their active social capital
- 3% → The Platform: Funding the PAIRTY treasury, PRTY buy-backs, and ongoing development
Personal Token Utility
Personal tokens are functional keys to the Member's attention and network:
| Utility | Function |
|---|---|
| Staking for Access | Users must stake a Member's tokens to request Pairings or bypass filters; high demand locks up supply, driving price pressure |
| Reputation Signaling | Holding a token acts as an on-chain "badge of belief," granting priority status in the Member's inbound queue and access to exclusive updates |
| Shared Upside | Users acquire tokens to participate in a Member's future trajectory (e.g., before they announce a major funding round or career milestone) |
The PRTY Token
PRTY is the utility token of the PAIRTY platform. It is used for fees, staking, rewards, and governance. Users and Members can buy or sell PRTY and stake it to participate in yield and governance decisions.
PAIRTY collects fees from activities across the platform, and these fees can be used to buy back PRTY on the market or support long-term treasury operations. PRTY therefore connects network usage to the shared infrastructure of the platform.
PRTY Utility
| Utility | Function |
|---|---|
| Governance | Voting on protocol parameters (fees, invitation rules) |
| Staking | Earning share of protocol fees by locking PRTY |
| Incentives | Rewards for successful Pairings and positive behavior |
| Fees | Network fees and option to pay membership in PRTY |
The Token Economy
Personal tokens and PRTY interact to create a sustainable economy:
- Activity in personal tokens generates PRTY fees
- Pairing uses personal tokens but pays rewards in PRTY
- Membership fees and staking connect Members directly to the treasury
- Each component reinforces the others
