As we've been having a lot of fun with MoonKarts, excited about the launch of Stakehouse Den, and very thrilled about the coming of Hyper Rail Blaster, it is very important to know the importance Arcade Colony token distribution. One of the things I like the most about this is that the token distribution has long been planned, meaning the team is aware of all of the things. Arcade Colony’s COLONY token distribution reveals a well-structured, long-term strategy designed to balance growth, engagement, and decentralization across its ecosystem. With a maximum supply of 21 billion tokens, COLONY will be released gradually over at least 20 years, ensuring sustained incentives without sudden inflation
Airdrop and Fork was the first to be released. A total of 1 billion tokens are dedicated to rewarding early supporters via a fork and phased airdrop. A snapshot, taken on February 26 at noon ET, enables a 1:1 swap for GLX and GLUSD holders meeting minimum thresholds. Post‑fork, remaining tokens flow into a 5‑year exponential airdrop targeting stakers of SPS and GLX—emphasizing fairness and ongoing engagement
This one was already live too, the moment Colony tokens got traded on Hive Engine. This is very important so that there is enough liquid tokens in the market. To foster liquidity pools across multiple networks—Hive, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum—2 billion tokens are allocated over 20 years. The model includes a yearly 100 million COLONY rewards pool, broken down by pair like COLONY:HIVE (15 %), COLONY:BNB (10 %), and SCRIPT:USDC (10 %), with 20 % reserved for future markets. Crucially, all allocations are governance‑controlled, offering the DAO full flexibility to adapt distribution based on ecosystem needs
The Play-To-Earn rewards becomes the biggest chunk of the token distribution. A whopping 12 billion tokens (over 20 years) drive play‑to‑earn economies. Moonkarts, the platform’s first title, receives 50 million yearly for five years, fueling competitive play and staking dynamics. These aren't live yet and the team is very aware of this. Incentives aren’t limited to gamers. Validator operators earn from a dedicated 2 billion‑token pool, while another 2 billion supports “Moon Dome” virtual arenas where community or private operators host token‑earned gameplay events. Finally, 2 billion tokens empower the DAO, with 25 % unlocked immediately and the rest vesting over 20 years. This ensures governance aligns with long‑term community interests
