Overview

Investcoin (IVT) is a deflationary ERC-20 token with a fixed supply of 100M, designed for long-term investors. It combines an 8-year vesting schedule, staking with an 18-month lock, and burn mechanisms to reduce circulating supply over time. The current implementation is on BNB Chain Testnet for public validation. Addresses will be updated to mainnet at official launch.

Purpose, Mission, and Values

Purpose

Investcoin aims to reward long-term commitment rather than short-term speculation, building a sustainable digital asset between 2026 and 2034.

Mission

Create a deflationary, trustworthy, long-term oriented digital asset that rewards holder loyalty and builds a sustainable ecosystem.

Values

  • Long-term vision with an 8-year roadmap and strict vesting.

  • Maximum security through open-source code, verified contracts, and extensive testing.

  • Real value created by fixed supply, programmed deflation, and loyalty incentives.

Who IVT Is For

Investcoin targets long-term investors who:

  • Value scarcity and fixed supply.

  • Seek predictable tokenomics.

  • Want loyalty rewards for holding.

  • Avoid speculative or short-term hype cycles.

  • Think in 4 to 8 year horizons.

  • Prefer verified and transparent contracts.

What Investcoin Is Not

To avoid misunderstandings, Investcoin (IVT) is NOT:

  • A short-term speculative or meme-based token.

  • A managed fund, ETF, or yield guarantee product.

  • A promise of price appreciation or financial return.

IVT is a decentralized digital asset governed by transparent, on-chain rules and designed for long-term participation.

Current Status

Investcoin already has functional Web3 infrastructure and dashboards, including:

  • Wallet integration (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, Safe).

  • Staking dashboard with tiered rewards and on-chain data.

  • Admin controls for vesting and rewards management.

  • Telemetry and monitoring with alerting.

Tokenomics

Supply and Distribution

  • Max supply: 100,000,000 IVT.

  • All tokens are minted at initialization and minting is permanently closed.

  • At launch, 25% of supply is released.

  • 75% of supply follows a structured vesting schedule.

Allocation Categories

  • Staking rewards: 25%

  • Treasury and liquidity: 20%

  • Foundation and development: 20%

  • Marketing and growth: 15%

  • Team: 12%

  • Ecosystem grants: 8%

Vesting Schedule

Vesting is split into two pools:

  • Core vesting: 35,000,000 IVT released bimonthly over 4 years (24 installments).

  • Foundation vesting: 40,000,000 IVT released quarterly over 8 years (32 installments).

Vesting releases are executed on-chain and can only advance when the required time windows have passed.

Deflation and Burns

IVT reduces circulating supply through automated and manual burn mechanisms:

  • Quarterly burn: 0.5% of current circulating supply every 90 days.

  • Special burn: 2% burn target triggered when circulating supply reaches 50% of max supply.

  • Manual burn: the owner can burn tokens from the free treasury (above vesting reserves).

Although total supply is capped at 100M, the burn design targets a long-term circulating supply of 21M. This is the opposite of inflationary models where circulating supply keeps growing over time; with IVT, circulating supply is designed to decrease as burns are executed. This is a supply-side mechanism and does not guarantee price performance, which depends on market demand and other factors.

Burns are applied gradually through transfers and stop when circulating supply falls to 21,000,000 IVT or less.

Loyalty Bonus

Holders who do not move their tokens for 12 months can claim a 1% bonus on their eligible balance. A 0.5% fee is applied to the bonus and routed to the owner. The loyalty bonus can be temporarily disabled if needed for treasury management or risk response.

Staking Guide

How Staking Works

Staking rewards long-term holders by locking IVT for 18 months in exchange for APY-based rewards. The protocol has a global cap of 10,000,000 IVT staked at any time.

Tiers and APY

  • Tier 1: 1,000+ IVT, 2% APY

  • Tier 2: 10,000+ IVT, 2.5% APY

  • Tier 3: 50,000+ IVT, 3% APY

Rewards, Fees, and Lock

  • All tiers use a fixed 18-month lock.

  • Rewards are funded on-chain and accrue over time.

  • A 0.5% fee is applied to rewards upon withdrawal.

  • Withdrawals are available after the lock ends.

Emergency Mode

If emergency mode is activated, users can withdraw only their principal. Rewards are forfeited in this scenario.

Step-by-Step Staking

1

Connect your wallet

Open the staking page and connect your wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, etc.).

2

Approve IVT

Approve IVT for staking (one-time token approval) so the staking contract can transfer your tokens.

3

Deposit IVT

Deposit IVT to start the 18-month lock period.

4

Monitor staking

Check your tier, rewards preview, and unlock date on the staking dashboard.

5

Withdraw after lock

Withdraw after the 18-month lock ends to receive your principal plus net rewards (rewards incur a 0.5% withdrawal fee).

How to Buy IVT

When IVT is live on mainnet, it will be available on PancakeSwap. Use the official contract address to avoid fake tokens.

Steps

  1. Open https://pancakeswap.finance/swap.

  2. Connect your wallet and select the BNB Chain network.

  3. Paste the official IVT contract address as the destination token.

  4. Confirm the token and complete the swap.

Note

The current contracts are on BNB Chain Testnet for public validation. Mainnet addresses will be announced at official launch. The project plans to list IVT on DEXs within five years so users can find it without pasting the contract.

Security and Governance

Investcoin includes several security and governance mechanisms:

  • Fixed supply and permanent minting lock.

  • Verified contracts and open-source code.

  • Emergency pause to stop transfers and loyalty claims if needed.

  • Blacklist controls to block suspicious wallets.

  • Two-step ownership transfer and optional renounce.

  • Upgradeable proxies with controlled admin upgrades.

Governance Philosophy

Investcoin governance is designed to evolve gradually, prioritizing stability and security in early stages.

  • Initial governance is owner-controlled with strict on-chain constraints.

  • Progressive decentralization is planned through Snapshot voting and DAO tooling.

  • No governance action can override fixed supply, vesting schedules, or burn logic.

Roadmap 2026-2034

  • 2026: Launch and foundation. Mainnet deployment, staking start, governance via Snapshot, IVT Portal.

  • 2027: Ecosystem expansion. IVT Locker, HODL NFTs, membership system, holder ranking.

  • 2028: Consolidation. Partnerships, tools expansion, exchange listings, audit v2.

  • 2029-2030: DeFi and DAO. Full DeFi integration, decentralized DAO, core vesting completed.

  • 2031-2034: Full maturation. Foundation vesting completed, deflated supply, fully decentralized governance.

Note: This may change over time.
