UDSCoin – The Governance Engine of UDS

This page outlines the full tokenomic design of UDSCoin ($UDSC) β€” the native governance and utility token powering the UDS ecosystem. While UDS is built to be open and free for all learners, $UDSC exists to align incentives, fund innovation, and enable decentralized governance.

πŸ“… Vesting Summary

  • Cliffs: To ensure long-term commitment from team and advisors

  • Linear Unlocks: Schedules designed for gradual and responsible token release

  • DAO Control: Unsold or unused allocations can be re-allocated only by DAO vote

  • Liquidity Management: All DEX/MM allocations are tracked and logged via multisig


πŸ’‘ Design Philosophy

We designed $UDSC to:

  • βœ… Prioritize ecosystem health and contributor rewards

  • βœ… Avoid inflationary farming or shallow token incentives

  • βœ… Distribute governance power to active participants, not just buyers

  • βœ… Make funding, hiring, and curriculum decisions DAO-native

There is no VC overexposure, no inflated team share, and no short-term hype cycle dependence.


πŸ”’ Transparency & Access

  • All allocations are Gnosis Safe tracked and auditable

  • DAO proposals determine any change in token utility or supply strategy

  • A public token dashboard (via Dune or DeBank) is planned for post-TGE

  • Access to this page is restricted to contributors, partners, and stakeholders
