# Tan Treasury

The **Tan** **Treasury Allocation** is a critical component of the token distribution strategy, designed to ensure the project's **long-term financial sustainability**, support **strategic growth**, and provide flexibility for various business objectives. This reserve will be used to **fund future operations, development, liquidity provision, market-making, and ecosystem growth**, ensuring that the project remains financially healthy despite market fluctuations or unforeseen expenses.

## **Release Schedule**:

* **5% at TGE (Token Generation Event):** 150,000,000 tokens will be unlocked at TGE to provide immediate liquidity and support initial strategic initiatives.
* **Cliff Period:** The remaining **95% of the allocation (2,850,000,000 tokens)** will be locked for **3 months**.
* **Linear Vesting:** After the cliff period, the remaining tokens will be **gradually unlocked over 36 months (3 years).**

## **Vesting Structure:**

* **At TGE**:
  * **5% (150,000,000 tokens) unlocked immediately** to support liquidity, early market-making, and initial business operations.
* **Cliff Period**:
  * **3-month cliff**: No tokens will be released from the remaining 95% of the treasury allocation during the first **3 months** after the TGE. This ensures that the project's core operational needs are covered in the initial months without the risk of premature liquidation.
* **Linear Vesting**:
  * **36-month linear vesting period**: After the cliff period, the remaining 95% of the treasury allocation, which amounts to 2,850,000,000 **tokens**, will be distributed gradually over the next **36 months**. The tokens will be unlocked in equal portions each month, ensuring that the project retains a steady and controlled supply of funds over a 3-year period.
  * This linear vesting ensures that the treasury’s funds are available for future strategic initiatives, partnerships, and unforeseen expenses, but in a manner that limits the risk of market flooding or excessive dilution.

## **Purpose:**

The **Treasury Allocation** serves as a reserve to fund the project's ongoing and future needs. It plays a critical role in the financial stability of the project by providing liquidity for:

* **Market Making & Liquidity:** Ensuring sufficient liquidity in exchanges and supporting a healthy trading environment for the token.
* **Ecosystem Growth & Development:** Funding platform enhancements, new features, and development efforts to maintain the project's competitive edge.
* **Business Expansion & Strategic Partnerships:** Supporting collaborations, integrations, and ecosystem initiatives to drive adoption and expansion.
* **Operational Costs & Sustainability:** Covering administrative, development, and marketing expenses to ensure smooth project execution.
* **Contingency Fund**: The treasury also serves as a safety net for the project in case of unforeseen market downturns or emergencies, ensuring that the team can continue operations without the need for external funding.
