Spheron Tokenomics & FAQ’s

Spheron Token Allocation: Designed for Long-Term Value Creation

At Spheron, our token allocation strategy is carefully designed to prioritize long-term value creation over short-term speculation. Every $SPON distribution decision is driven by a mission to reward real contributors, support genuine usage, and ensure the ecosystem scales sustainably.

The Role of uSPON During Mainnet

During our Mainnet phase, we introduced uSPON, a non-tradeable utility token used for internal transactions across the Spheron network. Its purpose was simple — to track and reward the real-world utility of compute contributed to the network.

🔹 uSPON has a value of $1 credit inside the network, usable to access compute, but holds zero value outside and cannot be traded.

🔹 uSPON can only be issued by the Spheron Foundation and is reserved for rewarding contributions by ecosystem participants.

This approach ensured that compute providers were only rewarded when their hardware was actively used. Over $1.5M worth of uSPON has already been earned — with high-performing GPUs like RTX 4090s, 4070s, and certain Apple Silicon devices leading the way.

Lower-grade CPUs or underperforming machines often failed to receive uSPON due to lack of demand or stability issues, preserving network integrity and performance standards.

As we transition into the post-TGE phase, we will gradually phase out the use of uSPON and

promote SPON as the primary transactional and economic token across the network. This shift will simplify tokenomics and enhance alignment between compute contribution and token value.

Rewarding Real Usage & Participation

All users who earned uSPON will receive 100% of their SPON allocation unlocked at TGE, in recognition of their real network contribution.

Users who accrued points but did not receive uSPON will still be rewarded — with a

2-month rewards lock and a post 6-month linear reward unlock of SPON post-TGE.

Ambassador Rewards

Our most active Spheron Ambassadors will be rewarded with SPON which will come 50% unlocked & 50% as per airdrop reward criteria.

Ecosystem Participants (Console, & Supernoderz)

Users of Spheron Console and Supernoderz will receive credits equivalent to past usage, redeemable for future usage. This is only applicable to users who used Console & Supernoderz directly & did not came from road to TGE.

These will appear in your dashboard within 7 days of TGE.

Road To TGE Participants

If you have participated in road to TGE & paid for the spin wheels then you are eligible to claim 50% of the rewards. It will follow this: 2-month rewards lock and a post 6-month linear reward unlock of SPON post-TGE.

Spheron Tokenomics: Aligned for Long-Term Value Creation

Spheron’s tokenomics is carefully designed to foster sustainable growth, ensure network integrity, and align incentives across users, the community, and the broader ecosystem. True value creation can only occur when all stakeholders—team, investors, and the community—are committed for the long term.

Below is the distribution of the total token supply:

Token Unlock & Distribution Schedule

• Liquidity (5.00%)

Fully unlocked at TGE to ensure adequate trading activity and market participation.

• Airdrop & Bounty (9.01%)

Fully unlocked at TGE, with structured distribution over an 8-month period. This phased approach ensures continued alignment of early contributors with the long-term vision of Spheron.

• Pre-Seed & Seed Investors (21.26%)

Locked for 24 months, with a 12-month cliff followed by a 12-month linear vesting. This structure supports long-term commitment and discourages short-term speculation.

• Strategic Investors (1.33%)

Subject to a 6-month cliff and an 18-month linear vesting period to align their contributions with the protocol’s mid-to-long-term roadmap.

• Network Rewards (24.00%)

Released linearly over 48 months to incentivize ongoing compute contributions and ensure a stable supply of decentralized resources.

• Ecosystem Initiatives (8.00%)

Fully unlocked at TGE but governed by DAO-led approval processes. Distribution will be reserved strictly for grants, ecosystem growth programs, and aligned strategic initiatives.

• Foundation (10.00%)

Locked with a 12-month cliff and 48-month total vesting. This ensures responsible treasury management and supports the long-term development of the protocol.

• Team & Advisors (21.40%)

Locked with a 12-month cliff, followed by 36 months of linear vesting. This reflects the team’s long-term commitment to the project’s success and sustainability.

Spheron is committed to transparency, sustainability, and long-term alignment across all token holders. These tokenomics ensure that incentives are structured to drive continuous ecosystem growth and value creation over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is uSPON?

uSPON is an internal utility token pegged at $1 in value inside the Spheron network, but it has no external market value and cannot be traded. It is only issued by the Spheron Foundation for rewarding real compute usage.

2. Will uSPON continue after TGE?

We will reduce reliance on uSPON and shift to SPON as the primary token for rewards and transactions in the network post-TGE.

3. How much of Airdrop & Bounty is unlocked at TGE?

3.761% of the total SPON supply (37,610,000 SPON) will be unlocked at TGE, which equals 41.75% of the Airdrop & Bounty allocation.

4. What’s the unlocking schedule for the remaining 5.25%?

• 2-month reward lock
• Then linear unlock over 6 months

5. I earned uSPON — what happens now?

You’ll receive 48.60 SPON per uSPON unlocked at TGE.

6. I earned points but not uSPON — do I get SPON?

Yes. Your SPON will be subject to a 2-month cliff and 6-month vesting if you have accrued FN Points or SP Points.

Here is how FN points mapping works

1 FN Point = ~0.019

1 SP Point = ~6.62

7. What ensures SPON’s value grows over time?

Demand for compute drives uSPON issuance → uSPON gets swapped for SPON → SPON held in treasury → supply decreases → scarcity increases → potential value growth.

8. Why i have not received uSPON? Only two reasons
1. Your machines got the job & terminated it without notice
2. your machine requirements in the market was zero

our utilization was closed to 100% on fizz & providers, it’s rarely possible that your machine not used with the right capacities in place. If it was usable, your machine must have been rented.

9. What could be any other problem of not receiving the uSPON?
1. We noticed many fizz members rented from cloud & attached it here, the problem with the cloud machines were they are not residential, teams cannot use it
2. We noticed many of fizz tried to fake the system by running node inside containers. If anyone done it, then also your chances for getting uSPON was zero. Because our network requirement was directly on machine with root access to docker. DIND was not supported
3. You may have received the job but terminated it intentionally or your system does not supports it
