How TLS Allocations Work
A TLS allocation — TLS being the TurboX Launch Standard — is a discounted allocation that vests. You pay less than market, you wait, and the capital you paid strengthens the reserve behind the token.
The mechanics
- Choose an allocation. Each live allocation publishes its chain, discount band, entry price, vesting length and remaining capacity.
- Mint the allocation. You pay in the accepted asset at the discounted entry price rather than the market price.
- Capital enters the reserve. Your payment routes into the Strategic Crypto Reserve — it is not paid out to insiders.
- Tokens vest. Your allocation releases over the published schedule, typically 12 or 24 months.
- Claim as it unlocks. Vested portions become claimable to the wallet that minted.
Why the discount exists
The discount is compensation for two things you give up: time (your tokens are not liquid) and optionality (you have committed capital at a fixed entry). In exchange, the protocol gets patient capital that cannot be dumped into liquidity the week after launch. Both sides are paid for what they give.
What you get and what you give up
| You get | You give up |
|---|---|
| 20–50% below market entry | Immediate liquidity — tokens vest over 12–24 months |
| Yield from the reserve treasury | Ability to exit if your thesis changes early |
| Ecosystem revenue backing | Certainty on price at claim time — the market moves during vesting |
| Early access and governance weight | — |
Allocations carry no liquidation mechanism: nobody can force-close your position, and there is no collateral to lose. But the token's market price during your vesting period is not guaranteed to stay above your discounted entry. A 40% discount protects you against a 40% drawdown, not against more.
