# xTIDE

<figure><img src="/files/joaFaAvViUSg5GJXPRWA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**$xTIDE** is a non-transferable governance and utility token that users receive by converting (swapping) **$TIDE.** All **$xTIDE** balances are eligible for:

* Revenue sharing via buyback-and-distribute (30% of platform revenue)
* Access to premium features
* In-game boosts and free plays
* Governance participation (via OpenZeppelin Governor + Tally integration)

**$xTIDE** is transferable only to and from whitelisted contracts, allowing for airdrops, yield farming, and third-party integrations. Converting **$xTIDE** back to **$TIDE**\
Users can redeem **$xTIDE** for **$TIDE** via a vesting-based unlock schedule\*:

* Upon conversion, users can start a flexible vesting position.
* The unlock curve is linear:
  * 50% is claimable immediately (0 days)
  * 100% is claimable after 180 days
* Any unvested tokens claimed early are split:
  * 50% burned
  * 50% redistributed to existing **$xTIDE** holders
* Users can cancel the vesting at any time and reclaim their full **$xTIDE** balance.
* Each swap creates a separate vesting position, and users can batch-claim multiple positions.

Holding **$xTIDE** also grants governance rights: a DAO will be established for **$xTIDE** holders to vote on proposals and treasury decisions—governing 55% of the token supply across Treasury (7%), Community Incentives (33%), Locking (10%), and Marketing (5%).

\*will be changed in the future. At the time of the launch, redeeming $**TIDE** for $**xTIDE** will be done 1:1, without the vesting period.
