Disposition of Unclaimed Bonus Tokens (Amendment to Proposal #a9583)
Under Proposal #a9583, Lightchain AI approved a 50% bonus allocation for eligible participants. A separate DAO vote establishes the bonus claim window duration (30 days, 60 days, or no limit).
If the DAO approves a finite claim window, some portion of the bonus allocation may remain unclaimed after the claim period expires.
This proposal determines how the DAO should handle any unclaimed bonus tokens, ensuring
Tokenomic integrity
Transparent governance
Clear post-claim execution rules
This proposal will only take effect if a time-limited claim window is approved.
Proposal Objective
To define the final disposition of unclaimed bonus tokens following the expiration of the official bonus claim period.
Voting Options
Option A — Burn 100% of Unclaimed Tokens
All unclaimed bonus tokens will be permanently burned.
Implications
Reduces total circulating and fully diluted supply
Benefits existing holders via increased scarcity
Simple, irreversible execution
Option B — 50% Burn / 50% Treasury
Unclaimed bonus tokens will be split evenly:
50% burned
50% transferred to the DAO treasury
Implications
Partial supply reduction
Provides treasury capital for:
Ecosystem development
Validator incentives
Liquidity support
Grants or partnerships
Option C — 100% Treasury Allocation
All unclaimed bonus tokens will be transferred to the DAO treasury.
Implications
Maximizes DAO-controlled resources
Enables long-term ecosystem funding
No reduction in total token supply
Implementation Details
The unclaimed amount will be calculated immediately after the claim window expires
Execution will occur via:
On-chain burn transaction (if applicable)
Treasury transfer to the DAO-controlled wallet
Execution will be transparent and verifiable on-chain
No discretionary adjustments beyond the approved option
Governance Considerations
DAO members should weigh:
Long-term token scarcity vs. ecosystem funding needs
Market signaling to exchanges and partners
Treasury sustainability and future incentives
Fairness to active participants vs. overall protocol growth
