The market-facing figure includes the TGE portions of Seed, Private 1, Private 2, Partners, Liquidity (TGE) and Developer Incentives. Project reserves are deducted because they remain held until used for their stated purpose.
Prize awards accrued before TGE remain pending and are distributed only after TGE. The live meter shows the amount scheduled to date:
Actual circulation may be lower if not every pending prize is distributed.
Allocation Availability Schedule
Liquidity
- Liquidity (TGE): 53,532,743 SELF, available at TGE for market making.
- Liquidity (Staged): 120,546,725 SELF, held until the relevant market or venue trigger is met rather than released on a monthly schedule.
Together, the two liquidity allocations total 174,079,468 SELF, or 34.82% of supply.
Staged liquidity triggers
| Trigger | Tokens | When it may be used |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | 15,000,000 | To support required market depth within 2% of the mid-price during the first 90 days after TGE |
| T2 | 25,000,000 | From day 60 after TGE, ahead of the month 3 Team and Partners vesting cliff |
| T3 | 80,546,725 | To provide liquidity for new exchange listings, sized according to each venue’s market-depth requirements and SELF’s valuation and circulating supply at the time |

The chart covers TGE / Month 0 through Month 48:
- User Adoption shows reserve availability, not distribution.
- Future Adoption is excluded because it has no fixed timetable.
- Staged liquidity is excluded because its release is trigger-based.
- Fixed prize awards appear separately in the prize calendar.

User Adoption and Prize Pool
The User Adoption allocation funds two programs:

A separate 47,645,000 SELF Future Adoption reserve has no fixed distribution timetable.
The 12,500,000 SELF available to User Adoption at TGE is a project-held reserve. Nothing is automatically distributed to users at TGE. Unused tokens remain in the reserve.

Token Rights and Rewards
SELF is designed as a utility token for use within the SELF ecosystem. Merely acquiring or holding SELF does not confer equity, debt, ownership or governance rights in any entity; any claim over project assets or revenues; any profit share, dividend, interest, redemption right against the issuer, guaranteed return, or entitlement to passive rewards or yield.
After TGE, SELF can optionally be used to pay for a Connect subscription.
No purchase, payment, or holding of SELF is required to enter the prize draw. Winners are determined by an entry-weighted, verifiable randomized process—a game of chance, not skill—with scheduled prizes of 5,000 SELF daily, 50,000 SELF weekly, and 200,000 SELF monthly.
Separate, time-limited Early Adopter rewards may be available for specified activities, including eligible Connect subscriptions and qualifying active referrals, subject to eligibility criteria, allocation limits, program terms, and the stated end date.
Neither these programs nor ownership of SELF constitutes an entitlement to profits, and no promise or representation is made that SELF will appreciate in value or generate a financial return through the managerial or entrepreneurial efforts of SELF or any other person.
