Introducing the IDOS Token: Allocation & Distribution


IDOS
is the utility token of idOS: the decentralized identity network enabling identity portability for the stablecoin economy.


IDOS is an ERC-20 token, first deployed on Arbitrum One. The token has a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) tokens.


As we approach the Token Distribution Event (TDE, expected Q4 2025), here’s a transparent look at how the IDOS token supply will be allocated, vested, and released over time.


Allocation Overview


The IDOS Token allocation is designed to keep the majority of the supply focused on ecosystem growth, security through staking, and community participation over the coming decade.

  • Community (41.3%): Public share of the supply distributed to early supporters across incentives, airdrops and community sales. Breakdown below:
    • Staking rewards (15.0%): Supply distributed to idOS storage network stakers for bootstrapping participation and network security. Vesting: 120 months (10 years) - more details on the release schedule and mechanics in the section below.
    • Community sales (up to 12.5%): Supply distributed through public rounds pre-TDE to early backers. Vesting: 100% unlock on TDE.
    • User Incentives & Airdrops (8.8%): Incentive and marketing campaigns to support early community supporters. Breakdown below:
      • InfoFi campaigns (1.0%). Vesting: 100% unlock on TDE.
      • idOS App campaign (1.5%). Vesting: 100% unlock on TDE.
      • Marketing & other incentives (2.5%). Vesting: From 0 to 10-month linear vesting.
      • FCL community airdrop (3.8%): Airdrop to more than 22,000 wallets holding FCL (snapshot already taken on June 20, 2025. More details). Vesting: 6-month linear vesting.
    • Community Reserve (5.0%): Reserve to be allocated to the community for growing the idOS ecosystem.
  • Team & Advisors (10.9%): The people who design, build, and operate idOS, aligned through multi-year vesting to ensure long-term commitment.
    • Team vesting: 12-month lock-up + 36-month linear vesting
    • Advisors vesting: 6-month lock-up + 36-month linear vesting
  • Building Partners (7.6%): Early integrators, infrastructure partners, and builders who help extend the idOS network.
    • Vesting: 6-month lock-up + 24-month linear vesting
  • Private Contributors - Consortium Members (10.4%): Founding ecosystem members and organizations who contributed to the early design, governance, and rollout of idOS within their networks. Include Arbitrum Foundation, Circle, NEAR Foundation, Ripple Labs, Tezos Foundation, Radix Foundation, Gnosis and Aleph Zero Foundation.
    • Vesting: 6-month lock-up + 12-month linear vesting
  • Private Contributors - VCs & Business Angels (8.1%): Early backers and strategic partners who contributed  and provided guidance to bring idOS to life. Lead contributor: Fabric Ventures.
    • Vesting: 6-month lock-up + 12-month linear vesting
  • idOS Association - Listings & Liquidity Reserve (9.5%): Supply reserved for liquidity in exchanges (including DEXes) and secure potential listings. We are trying to limit allocations in this bucket to the extend possible - any amount not allocated will go to the Association’s Treasury to support the growth of the ecosystem. Full unlock on launch.
  • idOS Association - Treasury (12.2%): supply managed by the idOS Association Treasury, dedicated to long-term development, operations, ecosystem partnerships, and governance infrastructure.
    • Vesting: 10% unlock on TDE, 90% subject to a 60-month linear vesting

Optimizing for Community Distribution, Transparency and Alignment

We designed IDOS to have utility from day one. To achieve that, we are releasing more than 1/3rd of the total token supply on TDE, and allocating a large portion of it to our community, to encourage early usage and contribution. 41.2% of the total IDOS supply is planned to be distributed to the community.

The IDOS token exists to align incentives between users, builders, integrators, and infrastructure partners who share the vision of an open, interoperable identity system. Every allocation, vesting schedule, and emission stage has been designed to keep the ecosystem sustainable and community-oriented for the next decade.

5-year Token Distribution Schedule
Please notice the Staking Rewards bucket goes beyond the 5-year schedule



Staking Rewards


Staking is the main mechanism for idOS to bootstrap participation and network security. A total of 150 million IDOS (15% of total supply) is allocated to staking rewards, planned to be distributed across 10 years in a staged emission schedule that balances early participation with long-term sustainability:

  • Years 1-2: 30 million IDOS per year (20% of Staking rewards pool/year)
  • Years 3-6: 15 million IDOS per year (10% of Staking rewards pool/year)
  • Years 7-10: 7.5 million IDOS per year (5% of Staking rewards pool/year)

Over time, staking rewards are expected to be complemented by sustainable fees accruing to  the idOS Association from Access Grants. These fees are intended to be used for token buy-backs and to provide additional incentives for securing the idOS network.

Rewards will accrue daily and can be claimed at any time.



Active campaigns


Two main campaigns are being launched at the moment to measure the engagement and collaboration of community members. These campaigns are designed to help users experience, research and learn more about idOS.

  • idOS App quests: The idOS App is the main portal for community members to create idOS Profiles, manage their data and interact with new features and events. Users will see quests that will guide them through new tasks that can be completed in the platform, to experience idOS’ features and utility.
  • Wallchain campaign: Wallchain is a social engagement platform that specialized in measuring the quality and reach of community-generated content across socials. idOS has partnered with Wallchain to measure the community’s contributions to high-quality educational content about idOS, and measure it in the form of “Mindshare” (read more). Their algorithm is tuned to value quality over quantity.


Important notices

Mindshare is a social engagement metric only, controlled and operated by Wallchain (third-party terms may apply). Participation in IDOS Staking program is entirely at your own risk and may result in the loss of all staked assets. Rewards are not guaranteed. Airdrops are discretionary and not guaranteed. Participation is voluntary and carries significant risk. All such programs may change and/or be discontinued.
