$SHOT Tokenomics
Every product in the Slingshot ecosystem runs on $SHOT.
Pay with $SHOT for 20–30% off. Stake to earn rewards, fee yield, and perks.
Spend. Stake. Earn from every transaction.
The core specification of the $SHOT token
One token. Discounts for users. Yield for stakers. Revenue for the ecosystem.
Powered by Slingshot products accept both fiat and $SHOT. Users who pay in $SHOT receive 20–30% off. The protocol earns fees only on $SHOT transactions — creating direct alignment between token usage and ecosystem revenue.
Use $SHOT → 20–30% discount on ecosystem products vs fiat
Stake $SHOT → Staking rewards + protocol fee share + Perks Hub
Combined → Discount + staking rewards + passive yield

Plutus-style reward levels. The more you stake, the more you earn.
Staking $SHOT gives you access to two distinct and independently earned returns — not a blended figure. Both are displayed honestly below.
Drawn from the dedicated 150M $SHOT staking rewards pool, distributed continuously over 36 months. At launch, with the full pool active and typical early stake ratios, the indicative APR is approximately ~42%. This rate naturally decreases as more tokens are staked and as the pool depletes over time. Rewards scale with your tier weight and time-weighted multiplier.

35% of every protocol fee collected on $SHOT transactions is distributed to stakers proportionally to their stake amount, multiplied by their tier weight. Comet stakers earn 4x per token vs Stone stakers. This yield is variable and grows directly with ecosystem usage — more transactions mean more fee share for all stakers.

The longer you stake, the higher your multiplier on fee share rewards.
Private sale participants waited longer with a 1-month cliff and 5-month vest. In return, their cliff period counts as staking time — starting at 1.5x instead of 1.0x on day one of staking.
Private buyers reach max multiplier at 180 days vs 365 for regular stakers. The advantage narrows naturally over time.
1,000,000,000 $SHOT — community-first distribution
Two rounds. Per-wallet caps. Conservative multiples.
2x multiple to listing price. Plus a staking time credit: Private buyers start staking at 1.5x multiplier instead of 1.0x. Longer commitment, bigger reward.
Structured unlocks to protect holders and ensure long-term alignment
All $SHOT protocol fees follow a single split
Every transaction makes $SHOT scarcer. Multiple burn sources create persistent deflationary pressure.
Projections are illustrative. Actual burn depends on ecosystem transaction volume and product adoption.
Honoring the community that stayed through the transition
