# Ascension Rewards

## Our own AI Agents

Arcturian Labs will launch proprietary AI Agents through **Virtual Genesis**, giving our community members the opportunity to earn **free token allocations** by staking $LIGHT and accumulating **Ascension Points** on our leaderboard.

We plan to allocate **15% to 30%** of each new agent’s total token supply to the community. These tokens will be distributed proportionally based on users' positions on the leaderboard and will be vested over **12 to 18 months** to ensure long-term alignment. The distribution percentage for each agent will be determined on a **case-by-case basis**, with Arcturian Labs evaluating key variables such as agent growth potential, product-market fit, and community engagement. This assessment will help us strike the right balance between **rewarding the community** and **fueling the agent’s expansion** through strategic partnerships, incentives, and reinvestment.

The remaining portion of our **50% allocation** will support the ongoing growth and development of each agent, with **5% retained by Arcturian Labs** to align long-term incentives and sustain our venture-building efforts.

## Incubated AI Agents

For agents incubated by Arcturian Labs, a larger portion of the token supply will be allocated to the **founding team, researchers, and AI entrepreneurs** to ensure strong long-term alignment with the development and evolution of their AI agents. These core contributors will receive **30% of the total token supply**, with a **vesting period of 18 to 24 months**, determined on a **case-by-case basis** to match the specific needs of each project.

The **Arcturian Labs community** will be allocated **10%** of the total supply through the **Ascension Points leaderboard**, vested over **12 to 18 months**. An additional **7%** will be reserved for **marketing, partnerships, and growth initiatives** aimed at expanding the reach and adoption of each agent. Arcturian Labs will retain **3%** of the total supply to support our continued role in incubation, governance, and long-term ecosystem development.
