توكنوميكس Toshi (TOSHI)

Toshi is a community-driven protocol and toolkit built on the Base blockchain. Originally launched as a memecoin named after Brian Armstrong's cat and Satoshi Nakamoto, it has evolved into a utility-focused ecosystem providing open-source tools for creators and developers.

Issuance and Allocation Mechanism

The $TOSHI token operates as an ERC-20 token on the Base network. While specific details regarding the initial minting schedule or a precise percentage breakdown for team and treasury allocations are not publicly disclosed, the following supply metrics are established:

The project utilized a "warchest" strategy early in its lifecycle, funded by a 3% buy/sell transaction tax. However, following a community vote through the MEOW DAO, this tax was removed, transitioning $TOSHI into a zero-tax token.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The $TOSHI token serves as the primary utility and governance asset within the ecosystem. Its economic model is designed to drive demand through tool access and community participation.

• Tool Utility and Fees: $TOSHI is used to pay fees for the Toshi tool suite, which includes a Multi-sender, Token Launcher, and Launchpad (Toshi Mart). In some cases, users may choose to pay fees in ETH or burn $TOSHI tokens to unlock advanced features like premium analytics and wallet-tracking upgrades.
• Governance (MEOW DAO): Each $TOSHI token represents one vote within the MEOW DAO. Token holders exercise governance rights by voting on platform proposals, fee structures, and strategic directions, such as the historical vote to eliminate transaction taxes.
• Deflationary Pressure: The protocol incorporates a deflationary mechanism where a portion of tokens used to access special utilities or specific transaction types is burned, effectively reducing the circulating supply over time.
• Airdrops and Rewards: A second airdrop was planned to distribute tokens to specific community segments, including 20,000 TOSHI for LP NFT stakers and 10,000 TOSHI for top Gen 1 pack openers. Additionally, 10,000 TOSHI was allocated for liquidity locking incentives.

Locking Mechanism

Toshi provides a suite of locking tools designed to enhance security and trust for projects building on the Base blockchain. These tools are central to the protocol's utility but are distinct from the project's internal team vesting.

• Token Locker: Allows developers to vest or lock team tokens according to a transparent schedule. It includes a "Lock Viewer" feature that enables the community to verify lockup periods and token lifecycle details.
• Liquidity Locker: Specifically designed to secure liquidity pool (LP) tokens, preventing sudden withdrawals (rug pulls) and providing tangible evidence of project stability.
• Liquidity Locking Incentives: The project implemented a plan to use 10% of sales from second-edition Toshimon packs to purchase LP NFTs, which are then used to lock liquidity.

Unlocking Time

Specific information regarding a scheduled vesting or unlocking timeline for the core Toshi team, advisors, or initial investors is not available. Public data focuses on the functionality of the Toshi Locker tool for third-party projects rather than the internal vesting schedule of the Toshi project itself. For projects utilizing the Toshi Token Locker, unlocking times are flexible and determined by the individual project's strategic milestones, with all schedules being publicly verifiable via the Lock Viewer.
