Sidekick (K)

Tokenomics & Utility

Sidekick tokenomics (Sidekick tokenomics) allocate a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 K across several buckets with clear vesting rules:

• Ecosystem Growth: 20% (portion unlocked at TGE, then cliff and linear vesting)
• Long‑term Community Incentives: 20%
• Foundation: 16%
• Core Contributors: 15%
• Investors: 20%
• Advisors: 5%
• Liquidity Incentive: 4%

At launch, a portion of tokens seeded the ecosystem, community incentives, liquidity, and foundation, while investor, advisor, and core contributor allocations follow 12‑month lockups and subsequent linear vesting over two years. The design aims to reward early participation, fund long‑term development, and align contributors over time. (sidekick-protocol.gitbook.io)

Utility-wise, the K token serves as:

• Real-time engagement fuel: tipping, gifting, red packets, and interactive campaigns inside streams.
• Access token: premium rooms, VIP chats, token‑gated Q&As, and early access to creator distributions.
• Staking and subscriptions: unlock perks like boosted discovery, higher engagement tools, and loyalty rewards.
• Creator monetization: streamers earn K from audience actions and can run token‑gated giveaways or airdrops.
• Governance: holders propose and vote on features, incentive programs, and ecosystem growth directions.

This mix turns K into both a participation currency and a coordination tool for the community. (sidekick-protocol.gitbook.io)
