Economic Model

The economic model of 60 Days is primarily designed to support long-term founder sustainability while aligning incentives with backers.

It consists of three core components:

  • Trading Tax

  • Automated Capital Formation (ACF)

  • Growth Allocation (GA)

Founders are also supported during the 60 days, with a stipend obtained through these mechanisms.

Trading Tax

All token trades incur a 1% trading fee.

  • 30% is allocated to the protocol

  • 70% is allocated to the founder (Founder's Trading Tax)

The founder’s share is locked during the trial period and released only after commitment.

If the founder does NOT COMMIT, this allocation is redirected to the refund pool.

This mechanism rewards founders who complete the program and discourages uncommitted launches.

hashtag
Automated Capital Formation (ACF)

ACF is an automated funding mechanism that continuously allocates capital to founders based on market participation and trading activity.

  • Released ACF funds contribute to operational runway, infrastructure, and early scaling.

  • Unreleased ACF allocations remain locked and are excluded from refund calculations until formally released.

ACF enables founders to raise capital progressively without relying on traditional fundraising rounds.

More details about ACF can be found here.

hashtag
Growth Allocation

Founders may optionally open a Growth Allocation (GA) pool funded from the sale of tokens from their team allocation (up to 5%). Participants deposit USDC in exchange for token allocations at a fixed publicised FDV decided by the founder(s).

GA funds are held in escrow until a commitment outcome and refunded in FULL if the founder does NOT COMMIT.

hashtag
Growth Allocation Vesting Model

Funds from the Growth Allocation (GA) pool are subject to a mandatory vesting period of six months, if founder(s) commit. After commitment, Growth Allocation (GA) tokens are released linearly over the 6 months vesting period.

If a founder does NOT COMMIT, all GA funds are refunded and vesting is cancelled. This structure protects both founders and early supporters from short-term speculation.

hashtag
Stipend

To support founders during the 60 days, founder are provided a stipend. After every 30 days (Day 30 and Day 60), founder(s) will obtain a stipend of either 10% of the presently collected funds (from trading tax revenue and released ACF) capped at a maximum of $5000 USDC.
