Gradual unlocking of $TREE over four years ensures sustained growth .
About one-third of all $TREE is reserved for community incentives. Specifically, 10% goes to a community airdrop for early supporters, another 10% to an ecosystem fund (grants, hackathons, partnerships), 5% to core contributors, and smaller amounts (3–6%) to exchanges and future campaigns  .
