Token Overview
8.1 Role of Tokens in the PORTLY Ecosystem
Tokens within the PORTLY ecosystem are designed to support platform usability, long-term participation, and sustainable growth.
Rather than serving as speculative instruments, PORTLY tokens function as access and participation layers that align user activity with the evolution of the platform. This approach ensures that token utility is directly connected to actual platform usage and contribution.
8.2 Dual Token Model Rationale
PORTLY adopts a dual token model to clearly separate platform engagement from market dynamics.
This structure consists of:
POTLP (PORTLY Point Token) — a non-listed point-based token used within the platform
POTL (PORTLY Token) — the listed ecosystem token introduced at TGE
By separating these roles, PORTLY avoids premature exposure of platform activity to market volatility and maintains flexibility in user onboarding both before and after TGE.
8.3 POTLP — Platform Point Token
POTLP is the internal point token of the PORTLY platform.
Its primary purpose is to represent user participation and engagement within the ecosystem. POTLP is earned through platform-related activities and is used to unlock advanced features and services.
Key characteristics of POTLP include:
Non-listed and non-tradable on external markets
Earned through usage, participation, and contribution
Used for accessing premium analytics and platform features
Designed to reflect real platform activity rather than speculation
POTLP allows users to benefit from the platform without requiring immediate exposure to a tradable token.
8.4 POTL — Ecosystem Token
POTL is the official ecosystem token introduced at the Token Generation Event (TGE).
POTL represents long-term participation in the PORTLY ecosystem and serves as the primary token for ecosystem-level utilities.
Key characteristics of POTL include:
Tradable on external markets
Used for advanced ecosystem utilities
Acts as the settlement and value exchange layer
Supports long-term alignment between users and the platform
Basic platform access does not require POTL, ensuring that new users can engage with PORTLY without friction.
8.5 Relationship Between POTLP and POTL
The relationship between POTLP and POTL is designed to be sequential and transparent.
Before TGE:
Users interact primarily with POTLP
Platform growth and engagement occur independently of market conditions
After TGE:
A predefined swap mechanism allows POTLP to be converted into POTL
Conversion rules are designed to align contribution with ecosystem participation
Swap availability is subject to platform-defined conditions and timelines
This structure ensures fairness, transparency, and controlled supply behavior.
8.6 Access-Based Token Model
PORTLY follows an access-based token model rather than a transaction-driven model.
Tokens are used to:
Unlock advanced analytics and reporting
Enable premium platform features
Access future ecosystem services
This design prioritizes long-term usage and platform value creation over short-term transactional activity.
8.7 Long-Term Alignment Philosophy
The PORTLY token framework is built around long-term alignment.
By linking token utility to meaningful platform participation and separating engagement from immediate market exposure, PORTLY encourages responsible use and sustainable ecosystem development.
Token mechanics are designed to evolve alongside the platform, with future adjustments guided by transparency, user trust, and ecosystem stability.
