$NOT: An Experiment in Cryptoeconomics Regarding 'Initial Distribution'
In traditional crypto markets, the initial distribution of tokens is largely dominated by capital:
Teams and VCs receive a large proportion of shares;
Ordinary users can only buy at high prices after the tokens are listed on exchanges.
This pattern has led to a long-term 'asymmetry' — risks are borne by retail investors, while profits are enjoyed by capital.
However, the approach of @The Notcoin Official can be seen as an economic rebellion against this logic:
🚫 No VC shares
🚫 No private placements
✅ Tap-to-Earn allows tens of millions of users to gain real profits at the early stage of token issuance
What are the results?
2.8M+ on-chain addresses form a decentralized holding
61% of the tokens are in the hands of the community, reducing the risk of whale manipulation
$220M+ distributed rewards, marking the first time value has been realized in a 'community cold start'
From an economic perspective, Notcoin is not just a token, but an 'experiment in redistribution' in the crypto world:
It prompts us to rethink whether the future financial system must rely on capital or can be built on community consensus.
