There is an NFT project that has a very detailed approach to token distribution.

Instead of following the conventional methods, it links token release to NFT rarity—Legendary, Rare, Common—each tier corresponding to different allocation amounts. The logic is clear, and the rules are transparent.

Looking at the specifics: a total of 20 million tokens, with an initial unlock of 20%, followed by a one-month lock-up period, then a linear release over 12 months. This design essentially aims to keep holders and the project engaged long-term, rather than the old approach of releasing tokens all at once and causing a dump.

NFT holders can receive differentiated token incentives based on their rarity level, which caters to high-value collectors while also leaving room for ordinary players to participate. From a tokenomics perspective, using layered incentives to maintain the enthusiasm of ecosystem participants is not a new idea, but executing it well requires attention to detail.
