# Crowd Sale

### Sale Structure

**Public Sale Details**

* Total Allocation: 300M MCT (30% of supply)
* Price: $0.008 per token
* Target Raise: $2.4M
* Minimum Purchase: $100
* Maximum Purchase: $50,000
* **Duration: 3 months or until sold out**

### Progressive Incentive Model

Early participants receive bonus tokens from a dedicated 50M MCT pool (5% of total supply). Bonuses are calculated based on the percentage of the public sale completed at time of purchase:

* **Phase 1** (0-25% sold): 33% bonus on purchase
* **Phase 2** (25-50% sold): 20% bonus on purchase
* **Phase 3** (50-75% sold): 13% bonus on purchase
* **Phase 4** (75-100% sold): Base price, no bonus

*Example: A $10,000 purchase in Phase 1 receives 1,250,000 MCT plus 412,500 MCT bonus (33%) for a total of 1,662,500 MCT.*

Bonus tokens are distributed from the Early Adopter Bonus allocation and are airdropped upon sale completion.

### Sale Timeline & Completion

The public sale will run for 3 months or until all tokens are sold, whichever comes first.

**If tokens remain after 3 months:**

* A community governance vote will determine whether to:
  * Continue the sale with current terms
  * End the sale and proceed with distribution
* Regardless of the decision, all purchasers will receive their tokens and calculated bonuses
* Any unsold tokens will be managed by the team in consultation with the community for strategic deployment
* Use of proceeds percentages remain unchanged regardless of final raise amount

### Post-Sale Liquidity Plan

**Initial DEX Deployment**

* Liquidity Allocation: 24% of actual raise
* MCT Allocation: Proportional tokens from Liquidity Provision pool
* Target: Less than 5% price impact on $40K trades

*Example: If $2M is raised instead of $3.3M, $480K (24%) goes to liquidity.*

### Use of Proceeds

The raised funds will be allocated as follows:

**Liquidity: 24%**\
Paired with MCT to create the initial DEX pool, ensuring robust trading from launch.

**Development: 45%**\
Funding for AI integration, governance implementation, LP optimization system, and ongoing platform development.

**Operations: 18%**\
Infrastructure, security audits, legal compliance, and operational expenses for sustainable growth.

**Marketing: 13%**\
User acquisition, strategic partnerships, community building, and ecosystem expansion initiatives.
