Detailed explanation of prediction mechanism and token allocation

Our previous report covered the project's release plan and preliminary token allocation on the Base chain. The newly released document further explains how these allocations work and which decisions are still controlled by the project party.

30 forecast events involve 300 million tokens

According to official disclosures, LAPTOP's maximum fixed supply is 1 billion tokens. Of these, 300 million coins were allocated to 30 predicted events, covering politics, cryptocurrency, culture and the LAPTOP project itself.

If a specific result occurs before the deadline, the tokens linked to that result will be scheduled to be destroyed; if it does not occur, it will be reallocated to the charity reserve.

These destruction operations only apply to unvested forecast tokens. They reduce future monthly releases rather than removing existing tokens from the market.

How many tokens can be destroyed in a single forecast?

The allocation amount varies for each event. For example, the impeachment of Donald Trump during his term was linked to 30 million tokens, or 3% of the total supply. In the event that the Democratic Party controlled the House and Senate after the 2026 election, each house was associated with 27.5 million tokens; Bitcoin hit a new high and was associated with 10 million tokens.

Therefore, the actual quantity destroyed depends on which incidents occurred. A correct forecast linked to 0.5% supply has a much smaller impact on the total than a forecast linked to 3% quota.

Is LAPTOP a prediction market?

No. Buyers do not choose the outcome, nor will they receive payouts because the prediction is correct. These events only determine whether tokens controlled by the project party are destroyed or redirected to charity.

Destruction will reduce future supply but will not create demand on its own. LAPTOP does not provide revenue, income rights, repurchase commitments, redemption mechanisms or price bottom lines. Its disclosure documents state that its value depends on market sentiment.

Who determines whether an incident occurs?

The project party has published interpretation standards, clarifying the source, deadline and required results of each forecast. Some incidents follow Polymarket's final analysis, while others use government records, market data, or designated news organizations.

What to do when the evidence is unclear?

Phoenix Veritas Ventures may choose alternative sources when specified information is not available, interrupted, or unclear. The company also reserved the final decision on disputes involving its interpretation standards.

According to disclosure, Phoenix Veritas Foundation is the sole director and member of Phoenix Veritas Ventures. In practice, the two entities are closely connected rather than independent checks and balances.

Token holders cannot vote on these decisions or veto the results. Although the forecast list may rely on external events, the interpretation of ambiguous cases is still concentrated in the hands of the project party.

Who performs token destruction?

Custody of forecast tokens is conducted through Coinbase Custody. Once the incident is resolved, the Phoenix Veritas Foundation will manage the corresponding destruction or charitable distribution.

For successful predictions, Coinbase Custody will transfer the relevant tokens to a publicly identified destruction address. The disclosure document stated that the transaction could occur within 72 hours of resolution, depending on administrative processing time.

The blockchain records transfers and makes them verifiable, but it does not determine whether the underlying events comply with project rules.

A failed prediction does not mean immediate donations

Tokens associated with a failed prediction will be released into the charitable distribution pool, but they may not necessarily be immediately transferred to non-profit organizations after the deadline.

Charity tokens follow a vesting schedule

These 300 million forecast tokens have a 12-month lock-up period, followed by a 24-month monthly vesting period. Any tokens redirected to charity will still be subject to this timetable.

An additional 5% of LAPTOP's independent charity distribution will be vested within 36 months. If no token destruction is predicted, up to 35% of the total supply may eventually be earmarked for charity.

The foundation stated that the recipient will be a publicly disclosed U.S. registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Readers need to pay attention to the charity name, receiving wallet, transfer amount and transaction history.

Community Airdrops and TRUMP Trader Compensation

The program reserves 20% of its supply for community airdrops, but not all of this is intended for those who lose money on TRUMP.

The first day of distribution contained 100 million tokens. Of this, 20 million (2% of LAPTOP's total supply) were allocated to TRUMP loss-making groups. The remaining 80 million are allocated to eligible subscribers of Hunter Biden's "Where's Hunter" Substack. An additional 100 million tokens are reserved for future airdrops at the foundation's discretion.

How do I determine whether a wallet is eligible?

Participating exchanges and retail applications decide how to allocate their share of TRUMP losses among users with negative profits and losses. The document does not provide a unified calculation method that covers all participating sites.

Therefore, users need to check which platforms are participating, which trading period is measured, and whether realized losses, unrealized losses, or both are calculated. Simply holding a wallet that has previously traded TRUMP does not automatically establish eligibility.

There is a 30-day collection window on the first day of airdrop. Unclaimed tokens are planned to be destroyed after the window closes, providing another source of reduced supply.

Unlocking at launch

disclosure documents indicate that 350 million tokens were in circulation at the time of the Token Generation Event (TGE). However, there may still be undistributed or reserved tokens in this amount for subsequent liquidity needs.

Allocation Category Proportion Release conditions Founder 30% 6-month lock-in + 24-month ownership Prediction 30% 12 month lock + 24 month attribution First Day Airdrop 10% Unlock now Future Airdrop 10% Unlock Now Liquidity 10% Unlock Now National Treasury 5% Unlock now Charity 5% 36-month ownership

"Unlocking" does not mean selling immediately

Although future airdrop distribution has been unlocked, it may not have been distributed. Liquidity tokens may also remain in the project wallet until they are made available to exchanges, market makers, or decentralized trading pools.

The foundation has disclosed a total of 20.5 million LAPTOP market maker loans to the G20 and GSR. These tokens account for 2.05% of the total supply and come from a broader liquidity allocation pool.

Founder tokens are locked in for 6 months and then vested monthly for 24 months. The complete 300 million founder tokens will be fully vested 30 months after the token is generated.

Scope and Limitations of Contract Audits

The AHacken audit found no issues of serious, high or moderate severity. One low-severity issue and three informational findings have been marked as fixed in the review version.

The contract uses LayerZero's Omnichain Fungible Token design. It can destroy tokens on one supporting network and mint the corresponding tokens on another network, thus maintaining the expected global supply. This bridging function is different from permanently removing prediction tokens from circulation.

AHacken also identifies administrator keys and configuration risks associated with cross-chain systems. More importantly, a Code Audit cannot confirm whether future events will be consistently resolved or whether every committed charity transfer will occur.

Airdrop relies on backend signers

Airdrop pickups use authorizations signed by the project backend, rather than listing each eligible wallet and assigned fixed chain on the Merkle root. This gives the project party the flexibility to manage the collection, but also puts trust in the signature key control service at the center.

If the signer is damaged or misconfigured, even if the token contract itself operates as expected, invalid claims may be approved, qualified users may be denied, or the wrong amount may be allocated.

What should buyers verify?

1. Use the contract address instead of the code name

The official LAPTOP website identifies the contract on the Base chain as:
0xB095274743941 e953c746F9C228DA9c18Bb6ec29

Names and code names are not unique on the public blockchain. Any exchange market, liquidity pool or airdrop page should be checked against the address published in the official channel of the project.

2. Focus on Allocation Wallet

After the transaction starts, the most relevant records will be initial liquid deposits, market maker transfers, founder custody wallets, and fund flows from the foundation treasury.

The first prediction resolved will become a direct test of the entire mechanism. Buyers can compare the published rules with the project party's decisions and then verify that the correct number of tokens has arrived at the declared destruction or charity address.
