Live slice-versus-float board — so a community pie never pretends to be circulating supply at TGE.

Tokenomics slides love a colorful pie: community 40%, team 20%, investors 20%. That pie is allocation — who is promised supply. Float is how much of that supply can actually trade at TGE after each slice’s unlock percent. A huge community wedge with 2% unlock is not a community-heavy market.
This page’s framing is Slice ≠ float. The board compares the pie to TGE-liquid tokens and shows who owns that float when insider buckets unlock hard. Labels without unlocks are marketing, not market structure.
That is a different job from token vesting (unlocked ≠ cash over months) or staking (Quoted ≠ net). Here we stay on launch allocation versus circulating float — not a cliff ladder and not a validator commission peel.
Decision framing: “What % of supply is liquid at TGE — and who holds that float?”
02
Every bucket gets a TGE unlock %. Float tokens = slice tokens × unlock. Liquidity often unlocks fully; team and investors often unlock little at launch — unless the slide lies. Flip unlocks without changing pie percents to watch Slice ≠ float peel apart.
Airdrops live inside a community (or similar) slice: set that slice’s unlock to match how much is claimable day one. Eligibility rules stay off this board; float math does not invent Sybil resistance.
Load Insider float. Keep pie fixed. Drop team/investor TGE unlock toward 0 and watch insider share of float collapse — same slices, different market.
03
Mark team/investor rows as insider. The board reports insider float as a percent of total TGE float — the unique concentration affordance. A community-labeled pie can still leave most liquid supply with insiders if those buckets unlock early and community unlocks late.
That is not a vesting unlock ladder and not a loot certainty dial; it is liquid-power literacy at TGE. Governance later may dilute that picture — start by not lying about day-one float.
04
Slices renormalize to 100% when needed. Float sums unlocked tokens. Insider float uses flagged buckets only. Locked residual is supply minus float — the part still waiting on cliffs and schedules you should model next on vesting.
Month-by-month cliffs belong on the vesting calculator. This board stops at TGE float honesty so the pie cannot steal the headline.
05
After Slice ≠ float, hand off for schedule unlocks, yield peels, or LP take-home — not for “community 50% = fair.” Fairness claims need float, unlocks, and disclosure — this page only makes the first peel visible.
06
Scenario A — Fair-ish float. Community and liquidity unlock meaningfully; insiders stay mostly locked. Slice and float stories roughly agree — still verify schedules on vesting before you celebrate.
Switch to Insider float without reading the pie labels. Compare float % and insider share of float — Slice ≠ float in one preset hop.
Scenario B — Insider float. Community pie looks large; TGE unlocks favor team/investors. Liquid power ≠ slide labels. Raise community unlock while freezing insider unlocks to see the narrative chip move.
Scenario C — Slice pride. Huge community wedge, tiny unlocks, thin float. Marketing ≠ market — the vanity metric is the pie; the honesty metric is float %.
Scenario D — Sum chaos. Percents overrun 100%. Renormalize + chaos chip — fix the table before the launch thread, or the float board is fiction on fiction.

A pie chart of supply (community, team, investors…) is allocation. Float is how many of those tokens are actually liquid at TGE after each slice’s unlock %. A large “community” slice with 2% unlock is not the same as community-heavy float — Slice ≠ float.
Vesting owns unlocked ≠ cash over time (cliff, linear ladder). This page owns the supply pie versus TGE float before you model month-by-month unlocks. Hand detailed schedules to vesting.
Tokens marked team/investor that unlock at TGE, as a share of total float. A community-heavy pie can still leave most liquid supply in insider hands if those buckets unlock hard and community unlocks slowly.
The sketch renormalizes slices to 100% and flags sum chaos when the miss is large. Fix the table before publishing a tokenomics page.
Not by itself. Fairness claims need float, unlock schedules, and governance — not a label on a pie. Slice ≠ float is the first honesty check.
No. Token launches involve securities, tax, and disclosure rules that vary by jurisdiction. This is an educational allocation/float sketch only.
Model airdrops inside a community (or similar) slice and set that slice’s TGE unlock to match how much is claimable at launch. The board does not invent eligibility rules.
