$IDLE
The token that powers the idle protocol. Earn it by using the app, hold it to unlock benefits, and govern the future of automated yield on Solana.
Token overview.
$IDLE is a Solana SPL token with a fixed supply. No mint authority, no inflation, no hidden supply. The token is live and trading on pump.fun.
40% of the total supply goes directly to the community through airdrops to active idle app users. The rest is split between liquidity, treasury, team (vested), and ecosystem growth.
Why a token?
idle is a protocol, not just an app. As it grows, decisions about strategies, fee structures, protocol integrations, and treasury spending need to be made by the people who actually use it.
$IDLE gives users a stake in the protocol. Hold it to vote on proposals, unlock premium features, and earn a share of protocol revenue. The more you use idle, the more $IDLE you earn, and the more say you have in where it goes.
In plain English: Think of $IDLE like equity in a company. Except instead of buying shares, you earn them by being a customer. The more you use the product, the more ownership you get.
Where the tokens go.
Here's the breakdown of the total supply:
Community & Airdrops
Distributed to idle app users based on vault activity, referrals, and early adoption. The more you use idle, the more you earn.
40%Liquidity
Locked liquidity to ensure smooth trading on DEXs from day one. LP tokens will be burned.
25%Treasury
Protocol-owned treasury for development, partnerships, and future growth. Governed by the community over time.
15%Team
Team allocation with a 12-month linear vest. No tokens unlocked at launch.
10%Marketing & Ecosystem
Partnerships, integrations, exchange listings, and community campaigns.
10%The team allocation (10%) is fully locked at launch with a 12-month linear vest. No tokens are unlocked on day one. This ensures the team is aligned with long-term protocol success, not short-term price action.
Earn $IDLE by using idle.
40% of the total supply is reserved for airdrops to idle app users. No purchase necessary. Just use the app.
The airdrop is weighted. Users who are more active, deposit more, and use the app earlier earn a larger share. Here's what counts:
Active Vault
Have an active idle vault with funds deposited. Larger vaults and longer hold times earn more.
HighEarly Adopter
Users who sign up and deposit before the token launch get a bonus multiplier on their airdrop.
HighStrategy Usage
Using Drift or Surge strategies earns more than Rest, rewarding users who engage deeper with the protocol.
MediumReferrals
Invite friends to idle. Each active referral that deposits into a vault earns you additional tokens.
MediumCommunity
Active community members, feedback contributors, and bug reporters are eligible for bonus allocations.
LowHow to maximize your airdrop: Sign up early, deposit into a vault, pick a strategy (Drift or Surge earn more), invite friends, and stay active in the community. Snapshots will be taken periodically.
What $IDLE does.
Governance
Vote on protocol decisions — strategy parameters, fee structures, new protocol integrations, and treasury spending. One token, one vote.
Revenue Share
Stake $IDLE to earn a share of protocol fees. As idle grows and manages more capital, stakers earn more. Real yield from real revenue.
Premium Features
Hold $IDLE to unlock higher-tier strategies, priority rebalancing, custom agent configurations, and advanced analytics.
Fee Discounts
Holding $IDLE reduces the performance fee the protocol charges on your yield. More tokens held = lower fees.
Boosted Yield
Staking $IDLE boosts your vault APY with bonus rewards. Think of it like a loyalty program — the more committed you are, the better your rates.
