Allocation
| Allocation | Per cent | Amount | Vesting / lock-up |
|---|
| Public sale + liquidity (Base BETTER/WETH) | 40% | 400,000,000 | Public sale unlocked at the token generation event; liquidity deployed to the Base BETTER/WETH pool with liquidity provider tokens locked permanently |
| Team | 20% | 200,000,000 | 15-month vesting with a six-month cliff, then nine-month linear unlock |
| Treasury | 25% | 250,000,000 | 12-month linear unlock from the token generation event |
| OpenServ SERV token drop | 5% | 50,000,000 | Unlocked (claimed by SERV token stakers via tasks) |
| Programmatic funding | 10% | 100,000,000 | Released across fully diluted valuation bands |
Circulating Supply
Initial circulating supply: approximately 400,000,000 (40 per cent).
For this document, “circulating” refers to the combined public sale plus liquidity allocation.
Access gate (hold and stake)
The access gate is denominated in tokens, but designed to keep the estimated USD cost of access roughly stable as fully diluted valuation rises.
As fully diluted valuation rises, the required $BETTER threshold ratchets down. This preserves execution quality by limiting congestion while keeping access costs comparatively stable.
This “rewards early holders” in a simple way: if you bought enough $BETTER to meet an earlier (higher) threshold, you may be able to reduce your token exposure later (by selling down to the new lower requirement) while retaining access.
- Hold
$BETTER to view the Terminal.
- Stake the same quantity to deposit into Vaults.
Staked $BETTER remains locked until you withdraw all funds from the vault.
Gate phases
| Phase | Fully diluted valuation band | Gate (hold) |
|---|
| 1 | Below US$10 million | 100,000 |
| 2 | US$10 million–US$20 million | 75,000 |
| 3 | US$20 million–US$40 million | 50,000 |
| 4 | US$100 million or more | 10,000 |
- Phase one: approximately US$500 at US$0.005 (US$5 million market capitalisation); approximately US$1,000 at US$0.01 (US$10 million market capitalisation).
- Phase two: approximately US$1,500 at US$0.02 (US$20 million market capitalisation).
- Phase three: approximately US$2,000 at US$0.04 (US$40 million market capitalisation).
- Phase four: approximately US$1,000 at US$0.10 (US$100 million market capitalisation).
Worked example (illustrative): if you acquired 100,000 $BETTER at US$0.005 (approximately US$500) and later the gate moves to phase two (75,000), you can sell 25,000 $BETTER and still retain access.
Lite Mode
Lite Mode is an optional execution path enabled at log-in.
- When enabled, the Terminal holding requirement halves.
- Vault access requirements remain unchanged.
- A fee of two per cent of notional volume (in USD Coin terms) is charged on volume traded via the Terminal.
| Phase | Terminal (hold) | Terminal (hold) with Lite Mode | Vaults (stake) |
|---|
| 1 | 100,000 | 50,000 | 100,000 |
| 2 | 75,000 | 37,500 | 75,000 |
| 3 | 50,000 | 25,000 | 50,000 |
| 4 | 10,000 | 5,000 | 10,000 |
Value accrual and buybacks
$BETTER is designed to accrue value through routine buybacks and burns funded by BETTER revenue.
| Source | Mechanism | Buy and burn policy |
|---|
| Vault fees | Twenty per cent performance fee on profits only, charged on withdrawal | Treasury-funded routine buybacks and burns |
| Business-to-business ingestion product | Sale of prediction market data ingestion infrastructure to prop firms | Treasury-funded routine buybacks and burns |
| OpenRouter API credits | API credits sold for BETTER’s in-house open-source LLM trained exclusively on prediction market data | Treasury-funded routine buybacks and burns |
| vBETTER arbitrage | Capture pricing gaps between vBETTER and underlying vault exposure | 30 per cent of net arbitrage profits are used to buy and burn $BETTER |
$TRUTH-PERP arbitrage | Capture pricing gaps between vault exposure and $TRUTH-PERP on Hyperliquid | 30 per cent of net arbitrage profits are used to buy and burn $BETTER |
Buyback and burn routing and cadence can evolve. The app and on-chain data remain the source of truth.
Trading taxes
On buys and sells of $BETTER, a two per cent (2%) buy tax and two per cent (2%) sell tax apply. These taxes route to the protocol treasury and fund capital expenditure such as infrastructure and hosting.
This tax is separate from the Terminal’s Lite Mode fee (two per cent of notional volume traded).
Programmatic Funding
Programmatic funding is operational and will be used to fund OpenRouter API credits for BETTER’s in-house open-source LLM (trained exclusively on prediction market data), as well as infrastructure and physical hardware.
| Fully diluted valuation range | Sold | Raise | Cumulative |
|---|
| US$1 million–US$5 million | 2 per cent | US$60,000 | US$60,000 |
| US$5 million–US$10 million | 2 per cent | US$150,000 | US$210,000 |
| US$10 million–US$20 million | 2 per cent | US$300,000 | US$510,000 |
| US$20 million–US$50 million | 2 per cent | US$700,000 | US$1,210,000 |
| US$50 million–US$100 million | 2 per cent | US$1,500,000 | US$2,710,000 |
