Tokenomics
A deflationary impact token - every trade does good.
Token Overview
Fee Structure
Every buy and sell of $UPLIFT carries a transaction fee, split across three buckets:
Flows directly into the public treasury wallet to fund real borrowers on Kiva.org.
Auto-added to the trading pool to reduce slippage and maintain healthy price discovery.
Covers team costs, API fees, dashboard hosting, and community growth initiatives.
Token Distribution
The Recycling Model
Unlike charity tokens where funds disappear, $UPLIFT runs a recycling model:
Fees → Treasury
Trading fees accumulate in the public Solana treasury wallet.
Treasury → Kiva
Funds are deployed as Kiva microloans to vetted entrepreneurs.
Repayments → New Loans
When borrowers repay, capital gets reinvested - not withdrawn. One dollar, many lives.
Excess Fees & Creator Rewards
Launchpad tokens usually raise more than their borrower needs. The excess follows one public rule:
80% - The next borrower
The token adopts a new fundraising borrower, picked by its creator. The lives-lifted counter keeps climbing, wave after wave.
10% - $UPLIFT burned
Half of the $UPLIFT bought back with excess fees is burned - every successful launch makes $UPLIFT scarcer.
10% - Creator rewards
The other half pays the token's creator in $UPLIFT for every borrower their token fully funds. Rewards follow real loans, not volume.
If a beneficiary's loan fills or expires before a wave executes, the full wave rolls to the adopted next borrower. Creator rewards are paid only when loans verifiably fund on Kiva.
