Tokenization Proposal –

for Invisibility Cap™ by algonum Ltd.

Overview

Tokenization of Invisibility Cap™ leverages blockchain to fund and scale a next-generation anti-drone protection system, drawing inspiration from successful tokenized projects like Helium and Filecoin. By issuing a utility token (ICAP), Algonum Ltd. aims to raise capital, incentivize adoption, and build a decentralized ecosystem, mirroring proven models in the tech and security space.

Tokenization Mechanism (Market-Aligned)

  1. Token Type:  
    • Utility Token (ICAP): Provides access to Invisibility Cap™ products (e.g., discounts, priority delivery) and staking rewards tied to production milestones, similar to Helium’s HNT for network participation.  
    • Future Option: Equity-backed security token (like Ocean Protocol’s model), offering profit-sharing once revenue stabilizes (e.g., 12-36M PLN annually from pilot production).  
    • Rationale: Utility-first approach aligns with regulatory simplicity and market trends (e.g., 80% of 2023 ICOs were utility-based per CoinGecko).
  2. Token Supply and Allocation:  
    • Total Supply: 15M ICAP tokens (increased to reflect market norms for scalability, e.g., Helium’s 223M HNT cap).  
    • Allocation (inspired by Filecoin):  
      • 50% (7.5M) – Public sale and pre-sale for funding.  
      • 20% (3M) – Team and founders, vested over 3 years with a 12-month cliff (standard vesting).  
      • 15% (2.25M) – Ecosystem fund for partnerships, marketing, and R&D.  
      • 10% (1.5M) – Community rewards (e.g., airdrops, staking incentives).  
      • 5% (0.75M) – Advisors and legal reserve, locked for 6 months.
  3. Valuation and Pricing:  
    • Project Valuation: 5.4M PLN ($1.4M USD, ~2.33M XRP), consistent with seed-stage tech projects.  
    • Token Price: 0.36 PLN ($0.09 USD, ~0.15 XRP) per ICAP, lowered to attract broader participation (e.g., Helium’s initial $0.10 HNT).  
    • Pre-Sale: 25% discount (0.27 PLN / $0.07 USD / ~0.11 XRP), mirroring Filecoin’s tiered pricing for early backers.
  4. Blockchain Platform:  
    • Primary Choice: Polygon (Ethereum Layer 2) – low fees, high scalability, and compatibility with DeFi ecosystems (used by Aave, similar to Helium’s migration to Solana).  
    • Fallback: Binance Smart Chain for cost-efficiency and exchange integration (e.g., PancakeSwap).  
    • Rationale: Polygon balances cost, speed, and adoption, aligning with 2025 blockchain trends (per Messari reports).
  5. Utility and Incentives (Market Benchmarks):  
    • Product Redemption: 1 ICAP = 1% discount on Invisibility Cap™ units, capped at 20% per purchase (similar to Helium’s data credit model).  
    • Staking Rewards: Lock ICAP for 6-12 months to earn 5-10% APR in tokens, tied to production output (20-60 units/month), inspired by Filecoin’s storage rewards.  
    • Burn Mechanism: 1% of redeemed tokens burnt quarterly to reduce supply and support value (e.g., Binance Coin’s burn strategy).  
    • Governance: Token holders vote on feature upgrades (e.g., AI integration), akin to Ocean Protocol’s community model.

Implementation Process

  1. Legal Framework:  
    • Jurisdiction: UK (Algonum Ltd., London), compliant with FCA guidelines for utility tokens; future MiCA alignment for EU rollout (like Helium’s multi-jurisdictional approach).  
    • Cost: 50K PLN ($12K USD, ~20K XRP) for legal structuring, per industry norms.
  2. Smart Contract Development:  
    • Deploy audited ERC-20 (Polygon) smart contracts for issuance, staking, and burning, developed by a firm like OpenZeppelin (industry standard).  
    • Cost: 75-150K PLN ($19-38K USD, ~32-63K XRP), reflecting market rates.
  3. Token Sale (Tiered Model):  
    • Pre-Sale: Raise 1.5M PLN ($380K USD, ~633K XRP) from private investors (5.5M tokens at $0.07 USD), similar to Filecoin’s $52M pre-sale.  
    • Public Sale: Target 3.9M PLN ($1M USD, ~1.7M XRP) via ICO on platforms like Seedify or Polygon Launchpad (trending in 2025).  
    • Timeline: Launch Q3 2025, post-prototype validation.
  4. Distribution and Listing:  
    • Wallets: Distribute via Polygon-compatible wallets (e.g., MetaMask).  
    • Exchanges: Initial listing on QuickSwap (Polygon DEX), with Binance/Kraken targets post-pilot (mirroring Helium’s exchange strategy).

Benefits (Aligned with Market Trends)

  • Funding Efficiency: Raises capital without equity dilution, like Helium’s $200M token-driven growth.  
  • User Adoption: Staking and discounts drive demand, replicating Filecoin’s 15% annual user growth.  
  • Value Stability: Burning and utility tie token value to production (20-60 units/month), akin to BNB’s $1B quarterly burns.

Risks and Mitigation

  • Regulatory: Utility focus minimizes securities risks; legal audits ensure compliance (standard for Ocean Protocol).  
  • Volatility: Staking and burns stabilize price, per BNB’s success (20% volatility reduction post-burns).  
  • Competition: Unique civilian anti-drone niche differentiates from IoT/security tokens.

Conclusion

By emulating successful tokenization models, Invisibility Cap™ can fund its vision while fostering a global community. Algonum Ltd. invites collaboration to tokenize security innovation. Contact: info@algonum.org
