The Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) project has detailed its unique 450-day presale auction, structured around a daily token distribution model designed to mitigate early supply concentration and reflect genuine market demand. The presale is divided into 17 clearly defined stages, with the daily token allocation decreasing predictably over time.
The auction mechanism operates on a 24-hour cycle. Each day, a fixed number of tokens is released. All contributions made within that window are pooled, and a smart contract calculates individual allocations using the proportional formula: (Your Contribution ÷ Total Daily Purchases) × Daily Allocation. This ensures every participant on a given day receives tokens at the same effective price, regardless of contribution size. The system leverages zero-knowledge proof technology to enable transparent, on-chain verification of calculations without exposing individual user data.
The 17-stage schedule provides full transparency. Stage 1, spanning from November 27, 2025, to January 24, 2026, releases 200 million tokens daily. Stages 2 through 16 each last 25 days, with the daily allocation decreasing by exactly 10 million tokens per stage. By Stage 10, the daily release drops to 110 million. The final stage, Stage 17, runs for 16 days from February 4 to February 19, 2027, with a daily allocation of just 40 million tokens.
This structured, declining supply curve aims to encourage long-term, measured participation instead of a rush at launch. The model is engineered to prevent any single entity from cornering the supply cheaply, as pricing resets daily and large buyers must compete with overall demand each time they participate. The project positions this approach as a fairer alternative to fixed-price presales, where early access often dictates advantage.
