Proposal for token distribution (under 1000 words):

We believe $COLLAB distribution should serve two purposes:

A) to reward loyal community members whose support directly resulted in project allocation, and B) to incentivize $COLLAB's growth in conjunction w/ the projects that Collab.Land has so graciously welcomed into its ecosystem.  As such, we propose that our drop be divided evenly between these two categories.  Respect the past, embrace the future.

A. 50% will be evenly allocated between 4,830 members holding a Collab.Land role on Discord.  Format for distribution will be via a ~one month wallet collection to provide fair notice, w/ an airdrop at period end.  Each individual may submit one address/role.  This process ensures that those present (and presumably more active w/ both communities going forward) receive distribution.

After initial claims are complete, all remaining tokens from this 50% will be evenly distributed to any member who chooses to burn a Sophon NFT during the following ~one month period.  For example, if 100K tokens remain and only 1 individual chooses to burn 1 NFT, then that individual would receive all 100K tokens; if 2 individuals each burn 2 NFTs, each individual would receive 50K tokens, and so on.  Sophon staking will end Q1.  The Sophon collection was selected because it contains a representative cross-sampling of our community, w/ many having been airdropped this collection due to their prior holdings.  Sophon holders are also very familiar with decentralized governance, previously self-organizing into the SophonDAO.  That experience will be directly relevant as these individuals become more involved in Collab.Land governance.  A burn-to-claim mechanic provides an interesting gamification layer as well as added stickiness for the $COLLAB token.

B. 50% will be allocated towards growth, and divided into the following 5 categories:
ㆍ10% will be allocated to Contributors, to be distributed according to KPIs set by the Contributors themselves during Cascadia's testnet.  Some examples would be running a validator, quest completion, or collaborative marketing w/ Collab.Land.  We believe our Contributors will be excellent stewards of any $COLLAB tokens earned.

ㆍ10% will be allocated to Core Contributors as supplement/surrogate for standard stablecoin distributions during April/May.  $COLLAB distribution to Core Contributors has positive benefits for both projects as it helps extends Cascadia's runway, and introduces our most diamond-handed and passionate community members to the Collab.Land ecosystem.

ㆍ10% will be allocated to holders of the Collab.Land trait on our forthcoming NFT collection, CC Punks, which will be the first NFT collection on the Cascadia blockchain.  This collection is intended to be a celebration of the web3 space we all adore.  The Collab.Land trait will now become one of the rarest and most desirable traits due to this incentive structure.

ㆍ10% will be allocated to the Cascadia treasury as strategic reserve for mid-term initiatives to be completed before year end.  In the interim, this holding will allow Cascadia itself to participate in Collab.Land governance.

ㆍ10% will be allocated to COLLAB-CC LP on the Cascadia blockchain once mainnet is live.  This non-mercenary, protocol-owned liquidity will reduce sell pressure on the $COLLAB token.  Moreover, this structure creates a cross-chain market for $COLLAB, expanding its use case and prominence across multiple networks.  COLLAB-CC LP will also serve as the default collection point for any unallocated tokens from the 4 categories above.

ㆍMechanism for distribution/Timeline/User group being targeted?  See above.

ㆍHow many users is this distribution projected to incentivize? This distribution will reach 4,830 Collab.Land users, 10K current NFT holders, 10K future NFT holders, 183 Contributors, 17 Core Contributors, as well as ~50K Twitter followers and ~50K Discord users.

ㆍHow will this distribution incentivize usage and adoption of Collab.Land?  See above.

ㆍWhat is the benefit of this distribution? To Collab.Land/To your community?  See above.

ㆍWill your project provide any co-incentives?  Yes, see above.

**ㆍWhere will tokens be held once distributed by Collab.Land DAO?**All Cascadia assets are always secured via Gnosis multisig with a minimum of 5 signers.

Cascadia is a Layer-1 blockchain built to explore the nature of incentives on network effects, starting with ve-tokenomics. https://cascadia.foundation/  ~10% of Cascadia's initial supply will be dedicated to community airdrops.  Once mainnet is live, we would like to thank the $COLLAB team for its generosity and welcome them onboard as long-term ecosystem partners, by encouraging the Collab.Land community to submit an airdrop proposal to us as well, following the same format as the above.

- thank you from the Collab.Land team 🤝
