### AST/veAST **Airdrop for User and Protocols(43%)**

We will respect all ve(3,3) protocols and communities at Asterisk and distribute airdrops.

#### Asterisk Users

* Locked AST users
* Users who can guide community members, etc.

#### Protocol Users

* Chronos User
* THENA User, etc.

If you know any other communities that you think are worth receiving airdrops, please share them on the #support-ticket channel on [Discord](https://discord.gg/T3RjhXB77B).

### AST/veAST Airdrop for astSecretkey Minters(10%)

9% of the initial supply was allocated to astSecretkey minters and is claimable right at launch on Asterisk.

astSecretkey minters Airdrop balance between AST and veAST:

* 40% as veAST locked for 2 years
* 60% as AST

### **Marketing and Ecosystem(25%)**

This will be used for a wide range of purposes aimed at accelerating the growth and increasing the awareness of Asterisk. Examples include multilingual support, referral programs, and promotions on social media. Of course, there are significant benefits for users who can contribute to these efforts.

### **Team(18%)**

Team allocation of 18% will be used as funding for Asterisk's long-term growth. The allocation is designed to increase the team's interest in Bribe by receiving 60% as veAST supply.

The team allocation balance between AST and veAST is as follows:

* 60% as veAST locked for 2 years
* 40% as AST vested for 2 years

### **Initial Liquidity Providers(4%)**

4% of the initial supply of THE will be utilized to provide enough liquidity at launch.

## **Emissions**

### **ve(3,3) Dynamics**

The ve(3,3) model follows market principles and brings many benefits. We believe that activating the positive flywheel effect of these ve(3,3) dynamics is our first mission.

<figure><img src="/files/JHgZrhK4MGoCtvrX8D8O" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**veAST holders** generally vote for pools with high yield performance. As a result, a healthy **Bribes** War is promoted.

**Liquidity Providers (LP)** are incentivized with emissions driven by “Real Yield” based metrics.&#x20;

**Traders** can execute trades with low slippage.

**Asterisk(Protocols)** promote further liquidity by depositing fees and bribes they receive into their own protocol.

### **Emissions specifications**

* Weekly emissions (at inception): 2,600,000 $AST
* Weekly emissions decay: 1%
* Weekly developer wallet allocation: 4%
* Weekly veAST rebase: 100% \~ 0%
* Emissions for liquidity providers: 66%
