Kommunitas launch its new IKO – METAFLUENCE

The Metafluence ($METO) Private Sale on Kommunitas

In January 2022, the decentralized launchpad Kommunitas hosted a private sale for Metafluence, a metaverse project designed for the influencer economy. The event provided an early-stage investment opportunity for Kommunitas community partners and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to acquire the native $METO token.

This guide provides a historical overview of the sale, including the tokenomics, the long-term vesting schedule, and the specific participation rules set by the Kommunitas platform.

About Metafluence: A Metaverse for the Creator Economy

Metafluence is a metaverse platform built to empower social media influencers, their audiences, and brands. The project’s vision was to create an immersive virtual world where influencers could host events in their own digital homes (Metahuts), interact with their communities, and collaborate with brands, thereby creating new monetization opportunities within the Web3 creator economy.

Private Sale Details (January 2022)

The private sale on Kommunitas was structured with a clear set of terms, most notably a long-term vesting schedule designed to align early investors with the project’s future growth.

Token Sale & Vesting Details

• Sale Start Date: January 8, 2022
• Token Symbol: $METO
• Private Sale Price: $0.0035 USDC
• Total Supply: 5,000,000,000 $METO
• Vesting Schedule: The token release was structured for a gradual distribution:

1. 1. An initial 5% of tokens were unlocked at the Token Generation Event (TGE).
   2. This was followed by a 1-month cliff (a lock-up period where no tokens are released).
   3. After the cliff, the remaining tokens were distributed through daily vesting over the next 17 months.

Whitelist Participation Rules

Kommunitas employed its standard, structured approach to ensure a fair and orderly sale process.

• The “Booster 1” Requirement: Whitelisted addresses were guaranteed an allocation but were required to purchase it during the first round of the sale, known as “Booster 1.” Missing this initial window meant forfeiting the spot.
  
  
• Payment Method: All purchases had to be made using USDC on the Polygon network.
  
  
• Wallet Strategy: It was recommended that participants already staking $KOM use a separate, non-staking wallet for the whitelist. This allowed them to secure their whitelist purchase in Booster 1 while still being eligible to participate in other sale rounds with their primary staking wallet.
  
  
• Approval Process: All whitelist spots were subject to final approval by the Kommunitas and Metafluence teams.
