The token’s utility is built on three powerful pillars:
1. Decentralized Governance & Protocol Ownership
The $OTTO token is your right to govern the future of AI in DeFi. Through our Snapshot-integrated DAO, token holders can:- Create Proposals: Submit strategic proposals to guide protocol development, new integrations, and treasury management.
- Vote on Key Decisions: Actively participate in shaping the future of the Otto AI platform and Swarm.
- True Community Ownership: We are building a decentralized protocol, and $OTTO holders are the ultimate arbiters of its long-term direction.
2. Platform & Feature Access Holding
$OTTO is the key to unlocking the full potential of the Otto AI Co-Pilot. We will be introducing exclusive, token-gated features for our most committed users. These will include:- Access to our most advanced alpha-generating tools
- Priority access to new agent integrations and beta features.
- Reduced fees on select platform transactions.
3. Revenue Share & Value Accrual (The Buyback Engine)
The OTTO token is designed to be a direct beneficiary of the ecosystem’s success. A portion of the revenue generated from all sources—including web platform transaction fees and ACP Swarm agent fees—will be used to programmatically buy back OTTO tokens on the open market. This creates a powerful, sustainable flywheel:Platform Growth → Increased Revenue → More Buybacks → Reduced Supply → Increased Value.Our ultimate goal is to meet the criteria for and join the Virtuals Agent Liquidity Engine (ALE), a curated group of top-tier, revenue-generating AI projects. This buyback mechanism is the engine that will get us there, ensuring that as Otto’s transaction volume grows, the value is consistently driven back to the $OTTO token and its holders.

Launchpad Context: The Unicorn Model
The following information describes the “Unicorn” launch model from Virtuals Protocol, which provides context for the $OTTO launch.What Is Unicorn?
The Virtuals Launchpad enables founders to tokenize AI agents and AI businesses directly onchain by pairing their AI agents with $VIRTUAL liquidity. Each launch follows the Unicorn model. Unicorn Launches are designed as the next evolution of token launch mechanics on Virtuals Protocol, enabling true co-ownership of AI agents. This system provides:- AI Agent teams with a transparent, performance-based capital formation framework that aligns long-term value with market traction.
- Ecosystem participants (Virgens) with asymmetric upside through early conviction, open participation, real ownership, and continuous ecosystem rewards.
Standard Unicorn Launch Distribution
The following tables describe the standard token distribution and capital formation for a Unicorn Launch, provided as context for the model.Token Distribution Table
| Category | Sub-Category | Allocation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liquidity Pool | Open Market | 45.00% | Public trading pool available at launch |
| $VIRTUAL Staker | Ecosystem Airdrops | 2.00% | Distributed to $VIRTUAL Staker |
| Virtuals Ecosystem Activity | Ecosystem Airdrops | 3.00% | Distributed to Butler / ACP participants |
| Automated Capital Formation | Team Distribution | 25.00% | Follows Limit Order Program tied to FDV milestones (160M), disbursed in $VIRTUAL |
| Team Allocation | Team Distribution | 25.00% | Unlocks once project reaches $160M FDV or one year post-TGE, vested over six months |
- Once the project reaches 2M FDV, the system automatically executes limit-sell orders as valuation increases, continuing linearly until 160M FDV.
- All proceeds are disbursed in $VIRTUAL directly to founders.
- Execution is automatic and transparent, tied strictly to market valuation.
| Range of Valuation ($, USD) | Sold (%) | Average Valuation Sold ($, USD) | Raise ($, USD) | Cumulative Raise ($, USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000,000 - 10,000,000 | 5% | 6,000,000 | 300,000 | 300,000 |
| 10,000,000 - 20,000,000 | 5% | 15,000,000 | 750,000 | 1,050,000 |
| 20,000,000 - 40,000,000 | 5% | 30,000,000 | 1,500,000 | 2,550,000 |
| 40,000,000 - 80,000,000 | 5% | 60,000,000 | 3,000,000 | 5,550,000 |
| 80,000,000 - 160,000,000 | 5% | 120,000,000 | 6,000,000 | 11,550,000 |
- The remaining 25% of team allocation is locked for one year post-TGE, followed by a six-month linear vesting period.
- If the project reaches 160M FDV before the one-year mark, vesting begins immediately but still follows the six-month linear schedule.
- Teams may optionally purchase up to 45% of total supply (the full liquidity pool) during the creation phase.
- All pre-purchased tokens are fully disclosed under tokenomics, following a default minimum 1-month cliff and 6-month linear vesting schedule.
- If founders make self-purchases above 2M FDV at TGE, the corresponding token amounts that would normally be released under the Automated Limit Order Program are reclassified as Team Allocation, rather than being distributed immediately.
