Melania Meme (MELANIA) Tokenomics

The Official Melania Meme ($MELANIA) is a fungible crypto asset launched on the Solana blockchain. It is marketed as a digital collectible intended to function as an expression of support for the values embodied by the symbol MELANIA, and is explicitly stated not to be an investment opportunity, investment contract, or security.

The tokenomics of $MELANIA are defined by a fixed total supply and a structured allocation and vesting schedule, particularly for the team's portion.

Issuance Mechanism and Total Supply

The token is minted on the Solana blockchain.

• Total Supply: The total supply of $MELANIA tokens is 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) tokens.
• Initial Circulation: At launch (Token Generation Event or TGE on January 19, 2025), the initial circulating supply was 250,000,000 tokens, representing 25% of the total supply. This initial circulation comprised the Public Distribution and Liquidity allocations.

Allocation Mechanism

The total supply of $MELANIA is divided into five primary segments, with the largest portion allocated to team vesting.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The primary stated function of $MELANIA is as a digital collectible intended to express support for and engagement with the values embodied by the symbol MELANIA.

• Utility: The token is primarily a meme coin, and its official website states it is not intended to be an investment. However, its presence on the Solana blockchain allows it to be traded on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Raydium or Serum, and it has also been listed on centralized exchanges (CEXs) like KuCoin and Binance (for perpetual contracts).
• Community and Treasury: Allocations of 20% each for the Community and Treasury suggest potential future uses for rewarding token holders and funding ongoing development or strategic initiatives, although specific details on these mechanisms are not fully disclosed in the available information.

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Schedule

The tokenomics include a specific vesting schedule for the Team Vesting allocation, while the Public Distribution and Liquidity allocations were fully unlocked at the Token Generation Event (TGE).

Team Vesting Schedule (35% of Total Supply)

The 35% team allocation is subject to a 13-month vesting schedule designed to ensure long-term commitment:

1. Initial Lock Period: Day 1 to Day 30 (one month lock-up period).
2. Initial Unlock (Cliff): On Day 30 (approximately February 18-20, 2025, based on the January 19, 2025 launch date), 10% of the team allocation is unlocked. This equates to 3% of the total supply (35 million tokens).
3. Linear Vesting: The remaining 90% of the team allocation vests linearly over the subsequent 12 months (Months 2-13).
   • This results in approximately 2.25% of the total supply being released monthly.
4. Full Vesting Completion: The entire team allocation is fully vested and unlocked by Month 13 (approximately January 2026).

Community and Treasury Unlocks

The 20% Community and 20% Treasury allocations are scheduled for a single, instant unlock event on February 18, 2026. This suggests a significant portion of the supply (40% of the total supply, or 400 million tokens) is locked for over a year from the initial launch date.
