Genesis Refund Policy
Genesis is built to reward maximum participation, with minimal risk.
The Genesis Launch mechanism is designed to enable high-conviction participation, while maintaining full protection of unused capital and pledged points through a deterministic refund logic.
Commitments are never punitive. The protocol ensures that each participant receives a token allocation proportional to their inputs, with all unused values automatically returned.
If the Genesis Launch is unsuccessful:
• All pledged points are fully refunded
• All committed $VIRTUAL is fully returned
A launch is considered unsuccessful if total committed $VIRTUAL falls below 21,000 $VIRTUAL, the minimum required to instantiate the bonding curve and trigger Sentient activation.
If the Genesis Launch is successful:
• Any unused $VIRTUAL (beyond final allocation) is fully refunded
• Any unused points (beyond final distribution logic) are fully returned
• Refunds also occur if aggregate commitments overshoot the highest tier reached (e.g. if pledges land in the 42K tier but 62K $VIRTUAL was committed, the 20K excess is refunded).
Genesis Launches are dynamic by design. Allocations are influenced by total network participation across a 24-hour window.
As more participants pledge, the system may advance into higher tiers, expanding the raise size.
Your estimated allocation may decrease if new pledges dilute your share.
Participants can increase points and $VIRTUAL at any time before close.
This structure enables high-agency participation while preserving efficiency. Final allocations are determined strictly by onchain logic, and all unused commitments, whether in points or $VIRTUAL, are returned. The mechanism is designed to scale with conviction, without introducing excess risk.
Operational Guarantees:
• No funds are retained beyond what is used for successful allocation.
• Refunds are automatic and executed at the smart contract level.
• The system is built to favor upfront commitment while ensuring precision at final settlement.
The result: a fair, trustless coordination layer that enables maximum signaling—without irreversible cost.
Claiming
Genesis tokens are not automatically delivered. Users will claim their final token allocation through the UI once the launch concludes.
