While there is no universal template, high-quality blockchain projects typically distribute tokens across five major buckets: Community & Ecosystem (30-50%), Core Contributors & Team (10-25%), Private Investors (10-25%), Treasury (10-20%), and Liquidity & Launch (1-10%). The key principle is balance: insiders (team + investors) should not control an overwhelming portion of circulating supply in early stages, but they must retain enough ownership to remain long-term aligned. Exchanges and institutional allocators increasingly scrutinize insider concentration, especially at TGE. Distribution should also reflect the project's roadmap — protocols requiring heavy ecosystem grants or validator incentives will allocate more to community emissions. Importantly, headline allocation percentages matter less than circulating supply discipline and unlock cadence. Poor distribution combined with aggressive early unlocks often leads to structural sell pressure regardless of narrative strength.
