$SHOT Token
Every AI product in the Slingshot ecosystem accepts $SHOT. You pay less. Every $SHOT transaction generates fees that flow to stakers and burns tokens out of existence. The network grows, your share gets bigger.
Slingshot started as a gaming community in 2022. Between then and 2024, the community shipped 12 games on Roblox, built a live game launchpad, and coordinated hundreds of contributors across design, dev, and marketing. No VC backing. No studio. Just people showing up.
The games didn't print money. GameFi cooled off. But the builders stayed. The community took over the project from previous leadership and pivoted to where the real opportunity is: AI infrastructure.
That pivot produced real products:
Community marketing engine. 100+ active marketers. 340,000+ combined social reach. Partners already paying for campaigns in fiat. $SHOT integration adds a 20% discount for token payments.
AI tool marketplace. List, discover, and pay for AI products. 30% off when you pay with $SHOT. Also includes a launchpad where the community can back early-stage AI projects.
Crypto intelligence dashboard with AI-powered market insights, social signals, and news. Pro features are paid in $SHOT.
Most token projects launch with a whitepaper and a promise. Slingshot launches with a live product, two more in development, and a community that already proved it can ship.
Every product in the Slingshot ecosystem accepts fiat and $SHOT. Pay in $SHOT and you get 20-30% off. The product still receives full revenue. The discount replaces what they'd spend on ads to get you as a customer.
Stake your $SHOT and you earn. A share of the 5% protocol fee collected on every $SHOT transaction in the ecosystem flows to stakers. More products, more transactions, more yield.
Every $SHOT transaction triggers a 5% protocol fee. That fee is split three ways:
35% of every fee is permanently burned. No minting function exists. Supply can only go down. The more people use $SHOT, the faster it gets scarcer.
No minting. Burn only. 1 billion tokens is the ceiling. It goes down from there.
The more you stake, the more you earn. Time multipliers reward long-term stakers: stake for a year and your fee share weight doubles.
Stake amounts in $SHOT. USD equivalents at listing: Base ~$100, Pro ~$500, Elite ~$2,500, Titan ~$10,000.
Total raise: ~$1.03M. That's intentional. This isn't a $50M fundraise where insiders dump on retail. Wallet caps keep it distributed. The largest individual buy is $700.
$200K for liquidity pairing. $250K for 6 months of runway. $100K for GPU servers (agent compute infrastructure, online Month 4-6). $150K for marketing. $330K buffer. Every dollar is accounted for.
Team tokens: 0% at launch, 6-month cliff, then 12 months linear. Fully unlocked at Month 18. Strategic partners: same structure. Liquidity: 100% at TGE, permanently locked. The team can't sell before Month 6.
We're not going to pretend everything is done. Here's what exists today and what's coming.
AI tools are everywhere. Thousands launch every week. Most have no distribution, no payment infrastructure, no community behind them. They build something good and nobody finds it.
Slingshot gives these builders a ready-made audience (SlingerBoost's 340K reach), a marketplace (Slingly), and an economic layer ($SHOT) that makes their users stickier. In return, every transaction in their product feeds the protocol: stakers earn, tokens burn.
The bet is simple. If Slingshot onboards products that people actually use, $SHOT gets used. If $SHOT gets used, fees flow. Fees flow, stakers earn, supply shrinks.
If the products don't generate volume, none of it works. We know that. The difference is we're not asking you to believe in a roadmap. SlingerBoost is already running. Slingly and Cockpit are being built by the same people who shipped 12 games with no funding. The track record is the argument.
$SHOT is a bet on a community that already proved it can build, now building for a market that actually pays.
