DIKO is the governance token for ArkadikoDAO.
DIKO serves as the Governance token of the Arkadiko Protocol. It is the main coordination mechanism that we use within the ecosystem. The DIKO token will allow holders to have a say in important decisions that the ArkadikoDAO proposes. It will also capture yield from several sources, starting with standard protocol emissions but possibly extending to protocol fees.
Prior to the launch of the protocol on 21 October 2021, Arkadiko secured funding to develop the platform through a strategic raise with several key ecosystem partners and funds. 12% of the DIKO supply was sold at $0.25 / DIKO. Sale participants had a 6 month cliff, followed by linear monthly unlocks for the next 4 years. The team tokens are following the exact same vesting schedule.
The rest of the DIKO supply is being distributed through protocol emissions. The final chunk of DIKO supply is allocated to the ArkadikoDAO, to be reserved for future use.
