1.9.2 Algorithmic Growth Phase (Before Public Market)
Before the public listing of $CASH to first Decentralised exchange, the token enters a controlled algorithmic distribution phase, where the exchange rate increases gradually as more tokens are allocated through Founder Nodes and Partial Nodes. This model ensures a fair, transparent, and sustainable price progression driven by actual network participation rather than speculation or artificial price setting.
How the Algorithmic Exchange Rate Works
The exchange rate begins at $0.0009 per $CASH.
For every 1,000,000 $CASH allocated, the exchange rate increases by +10%.
Because Partial Node and Founder Node prices are based directly on the exchange rate, their costs rise automatically alongside network growth.
This aligns incentives around early contribution, network expansion, and broad, decentralized participation.
Example — Partial Node 1 (allocation 75,000 $CASH)
Starting Phase
$0.0009
$67.50 USDC
After 1M allocated
$0.00099 (+10%)
$74.25 USDC
After 2M allocated

$81.68 USDC
After 5M allocated
$0.001448 (+61%)
$108.60 USDC
After 10M allocated

≈ $555 USDC
Early participants get the most favorable entry. As adoption increases, the network naturally transitions to higher-value tiers.
Why This Model Benefits Smaller Participants
Unlike systems where large buyers get discounts, the Cashtap pricing curve is intentionally designed so that:
Earlier = lower cost
Later = higher cost
Which means: Smaller early contributors benefit the most Large “whale” accumulation becomes economically difficult Ownership remains widely distributed rather than controlled by a few
This is a decentralization safeguard built directly into the economics.
Purpose of the Algorithmic Growth Phase
This model ensures:
Fair Entry Opportunity
Users can start with small allocations and still benefit strongly.
Organic Valuation Growth
Token price increases are tied to real adoption, not hype.
Whale Resistance
Large holders cannot cheaply accumulate dominant network control.
Stronger Network Security
Distribution remains wide and resilient.
Partial Node 1 Cost Growth Across Allocation Milestones (0–40M)
The network grows → demand increases → exchange rate increases → node value increases.
