What Are the Key Components of a Well-Defined Token Distribution Strategy?

A strong strategy allocates tokens across several categories: the project team, advisors, early investors, the ecosystem/community development fund, and the public sale. It specifies the percentage for each group and the release mechanism, such as vesting schedules.

Transparency in these allocations is vital for trust. The goal is to ensure wide distribution while rewarding key contributors and maintaining network decentralization.
