Ponzu

Start by deciding how you want commitment to work, then set up your sale around that rule. With Ponzu, creators define an unlock duration and invite participants to accrue their allocation over time. The twist is simple and powerful: each buyer can withdraw exactly once. That single withdrawal can happen at any moment, but once it’s done, any remaining unaccrued amount is left behind. This design rewards patience without complicated cliffs or multiple claim events. As a founder, you configure the schedule, supply, pricing, and eligibility, then publish the sale page for your community to join.

Running a launch is straightforward. Create a pool, set the total tokens, the rate at which they accrue, and the start and end timestamps. Add an allowlist or apply per-wallet caps if you need tighter control. Share the link with your audience. The sale page shows each participant’s live, growing balance. You don’t need to manage monthly claims or manual distributions; the contract handles the accrual math, and the one-time-claim rule takes care of long-term alignment. When the unlock period ends, anyone who hasn’t withdrawn yet can claim their full amount in one transaction.

Participants get a clear experience. Connect a wallet, reserve or buy in, then watch your balance grow at a steady pace. You can model scenarios: claim early to lock in a smaller amount now, or wait to capture the full allocation later. If you choose to withdraw before the end, the decision is final—you secure what has accrued and forego the rest. This makes timing a strategic choice rather than a reflex. Power users can set calendar reminders, track progress in a portfolio view, and coordinate with a team wallet if they need a collective decision point.

Teams can use the same flow for more than public sales. Airdrop a community, reward contributors, or bootstrap liquidity with a built-in commitment filter. Influencer or partner deals become self-enforcing: partners who stay through the schedule take home more; those who rush out take home less. For developers, integrate the sale page into your site, gate roles based on accrued balance, and export events for analytics or accounting. Monitor live accrual and withdrawal events, set automated alerts for milestones, and simulate outcomes before opening the pool. With one mechanism—steady accrual plus a single withdrawal—Ponzu turns distribution into a workflow you can launch in minutes and trust to run without ongoing micromanagement.
