Tokenomics
Fishtank has three tokens:
- Fishtank (FSH) - core utility and governance token to be used for access to projects on the launchpad and participate in fundraises, staking, and other use cases such as a referral system providing benefits to token holders.
- Molly (MLY) - fun token for gamification capabilities to be added in future versions of the launchpad, and other products/services in the ecosystem.
- Jellyfish (JLY) - a utility and governance token for those that lock up and stake FSH. More info on how this will be distributed to be shared later.
- Pop Jelly NFTs - access token for exclusive privileges to be granted in the future to various parts of the Fishtank ecosystem.
Note: none of the above tokens represent equity/ownership in Fishtank Labs, Inc.
Governance
Fishtank will consist of a council that is responsible for vetting and making a final decision on whether projects will be moved forward in the fundraising process.
The direction of the ecosystem will be determined initially by Fishtank (FSH) holders, and support for Jellyfish (JLY) to be added later.
More information to be shared on the governance model and process to be shared at a later point.
