# Post-Minting Token Release Mechanism

To ensure a fair, predictable, and influence-driven token distribution, KOLMint adopts a dynamic release coefficient model that replaces the traditional fixed “1% daily unlock” rule commonly seen in legacy Defi systems. Instead, KOLMint introduces an adaptive mechanism tied directly to each user’s Element Set completion level, creating a transparent and merit-based unlocking curve.

#### **6.1 Dynamic Release Coefficient (K)** <a href="#id-6.1-dynamic-release-coefficient-k" id="id-6.1-dynamic-release-coefficient-k"></a>

Each user’s daily unlock ratio is determined by the Release Coefficient **K**, defined as:

***K=0.4+0.6×(N/12)***

Where:

* **N** = Number of Influence Elements activated on the user’s Planet
* **0 ≤ N ≤ 12**
* **K** corresponds to the user’s **daily unlocking percentage**, ranging from **0.4% to 1.0%**

**Interpretation**

* Users with fewer activated Elements receive a lower release percentage.
* Users who complete more Elements—thereby demonstrating stronger social influence—unlock a higher proportion of their mined tokens.
* A fully activated 12-Element Planet yields the **maximum unlock rate of 1.0% per cycle**.

This creates a progression system where influence, ecosystem participation, and module completion directly enhance token liquidity for the user.

#### **6.2 Rationale Behind the Model** <a href="#id-6.2-rationale-behind-the-model" id="id-6.2-rationale-behind-the-model"></a>

The design goals of the dynamic release mechanism are:

**① Prevent Excessive Early-Stage Sell Pressure**

Low-completion users unlock slowly (0.4% level), protecting the market from premature mass distribution.

**② Create Strong Incentives for Influence Building**

Completing more Elements increases K, directly rewarding active KOLs and users with higher visibility and engagement.

**③ Align Token Circulation With User Contribution**

Tokens are not merely mined—**they must be earned again** through influence, making the system resistant to bot farming and Sybil attacks.

**④ Ensure Sustainable Long-Term Emissions**

The 0.4%–1.0% daily interval creates a mathematically bounded release curve, allowing predictable emission modeling across all user cohorts.
