Tokenomics
YLDX is the governance and value-accrual token of the YLDX treasury. Holding YLDX is how participants govern the treasury and receive its revenue.
Headline numbers
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|

| Listing price | $0.20 |
| Fully-diluted valuation (FDV) | $200,000,000 |
| Target price | $1.00 (≈ 1% of the DeFi market) |
| Total raise (plan) | $36.885M |

| Governance Treasury | 20% (200M) — locked, DAO-controlled |
| Listing | Q4 2026 |
The Seed round entry of $0.05 against a listing price of $0.20 is a 4× step to listing. Figures beyond listing (target $1.00) are objectives, not guarantees.
Value accrual
YLDX is not a passive governance token — it is the destination of protocol revenue:
- A 25% performance fee on client profit is routed 100% to holders.
- 90% is paid as cash dividends to holders.
- 10% funds buy-back into the Governance Treasury.
See Rewards & revenue model for the full mechanics and a worked example.
Governance Treasury (20%)
200M YLDX (20% of supply) is held in the Governance Treasury — locked and controlled by the DAO. It backs buy-backs, ecosystem incentives and long-term alignment. It cannot be unilaterally spent; movements are governed on-chain. See DAO governance.
Staking
A high share of supply (63.1%) is staked. Round participants receive SYLDX (Staked YLDX) automatically — an auto-staked receipt redeemable 1:1 for YLDX at listing. See Staking & SYLDX.
Supply discipline
- Supply is capped at 1B; YLDX is minted at TGE, not inflated thereafter.
- The buy-back leg creates structural demand tied to real revenue.
- The locked Governance Treasury removes 20% of supply from circulating sell pressure.
Funding to date
Across the live funding rounds YLDX has raised $3,352,156 from 819 unique backers, selling ~164M YLDX — all verifiable on-chain. See Funding rounds — on-chain history.
