ROOT5 DAO Bounty Program
100,000,000 ROOT5 tokens allocated to reward real humans who help build, grow, and energize the ecosystem.
The ROOT5 DAO bounty program rewards participation through a three‑tier system, weekly competitions, a clipping campaign, and staking rewards. Your tier and payout depend on how much you contribute — not just whether you clicked a button.
- Tier 1: Basic supporters — 5% (5,000,000 ROOT5)
- Tier 2: Active contributors — 24.5% (24,500,000 ROOT5)
- Tier 3: Champions and leaders — 30.5% (30,500,000 ROOT5)
- Competitions: 10% (10,000,000 ROOT5)
- Clipping campaign: 14% (14,000,000 ROOT5)
- Staking rewards: 16% (16,000,000 ROOT5)

This bounty is designed as a performance‑based, community‑driven system. The more consistently you show up — and the more value you bring — the higher your tier and the larger your rewards.
Tier assignment, competition standings, and staking rewards are based on tracked activity across Telegram, X, Reddit, on‑chain behavior, and content submissions. Anti‑bot checks and manual verification steps are used to ensure fairness.
The bounty program is built to directly support four core ROOT5 DAO objectives.
- Pump.fun migration (bonding curve completion): ROOT5 is currently 45% through the bonding curve. Reaching the remaining $60,000 unlocks migration to pump.fun, CoinGecko listing, wallet integrations, and broader visibility.
- Establish new markets: Incentivize traders to open liquidity on other chains and DEXs to create multi‑chain depth.
- New members & holders: Mass onboarding through Tier 1 and competitions; retention through Tier 2/3 incentives.
- Marketing for products & platform: Clipping, raids, and creator campaigns amplify product visibility and platform adoption.

Every allocation decision is mapped to these goals. Softcaps and treasury routing protect the token supply so the DAO can fund migration, liquidity, and marketing when it matters most.
ROOT5 uses a hybrid fixed + softcap model to ensure fairness and long‑term sustainability.
- Tier 1 (fixed): 5,000,000 ROOT5 — always fully distributed.
- Tier 2 (softcapped): 24,500,000 ROOT5 — min 300, max 3,000 participants.
- Tier 3 (softcapped): 30,500,000 ROOT5 — min 50, max 500 participants.
- Competitions: 10,000,000 ROOT5 — weekly pools; unused → treasury.
- Clipping: 14,000,000 ROOT5 — base + engagement pools; unused → treasury.
- Staking: 16,000,000 ROOT5 — 12‑week program; unused → treasury.

Softcaps prevent small groups from capturing outsized rewards and ensure the DAO retains tokens for critical goals like the bonding curve and cross‑chain liquidity. Any unused tokens from softcapped pools are routed to the treasury automatically.
Softcaps define minimum and maximum participant thresholds. Rewards scale to protect the pool and route unused tokens to treasury.
distribution = (participants / softcap_min) × pool
unused_tokens = pool − distribution → treasury
If participants > softcap_max:
distribution_per_person = pool / softcap_max
If participants between min and max:
distribution_per_person = pool / participants

Example (Tier 3): Pool = 30,500,000 ROOT5; softcap_min = 50; only 20 qualify → 20/50 = 0.4 → distribution = 0.4 × 30,500,000 = 12,200,000 ROOT5; unused = 18,300,000 → treasury.
These formulas are applied at the end of each distribution window and are enforced by the DAO's distribution scripts and manual verification steps.
