What Molescules Is

Molescules is a Spark‑powered mining game that turns passive phone time into a social, community‑driven economy. Instead of faceless hashpower and confusing DeFi, it gives people simple mining, real ownership, and community treasuries.

Think of it as “a crypto‑native digital oil field run by communities, not whales.”

The Problem

The world is full of idle compute and attention. Traditional mining is noisy, expensive, and centralized. Most people can’t participate, and the benefits go to a few large players.

Our Solution

Molescules lets anyone mine Spark on their phone, coordinate in communities, and build shared treasuries that can fund whatever they care about. Your phone is already on—turn that energy into Spark with a single tap, then join a crew and build a shared treasury together.

Spark (SPK)

In‑app energy token earned via mining. Used for boosts, community creation, and conversion to MOL. SPK is designed to be abundant enough for daily engagement but scarce enough to matter.

Molescules (MOL)

Core asset token. Long‑term store of value, staking, and future ecosystem integration. MOL represents real ownership in the Molescules economy and can be held, staked, or used in external ecosystems.

Conversion

100 SPK = 1 MOL (fixed ratio). This creates a clear bridge between daily activity (SPK) and long‑term value (MOL).

Total Supply & Allocation

• Total MOL supply: 200,000,000 (fixed)
• Mining & Usage Rewards: 50% (100,000,000 MOL) – distributed over multiple years to users securing and actively using the protocol.
• Staking & Liquidity Incentives: 15% (30,000,000 MOL) – rewards for staking and liquidity provision to deepen markets and align long‑term holders.
• Ecosystem & Campaigns: 10% (20,000,000 MOL) – grants, integrations, growth experiments, and target campaigns.
• Community & Airdrops: 5% (10,000,000 MOL) – early users, testers, community contributors, and growth programs.
• Team: 10% (20,000,000 MOL) – core contributors with long‑term vesting for alignment.
• Advisors & Strategic Partners: 3% (6,000,000 MOL) – domain experts and strategic integrations under vesting.
• Treasury & Reserves: 2% (4,000,000 MOL) – foundation/DAO treasury for audits, backstops, and long‑term sustainability.
• Investors (VCs & Angels): 5% (10,000,000 MOL) – strategic capital under strict lock‑ups and vesting.

Vesting & Investor Terms

• Team: 12‑month cliff, 3–4 year linear vesting; no large unlock at TGE.
• Advisors & Partners: 6–12‑month cliff, 18–24 month linear vesting, subject to ongoing contribution.
• Investors: 0% unlocked at TGE for early rounds, 6–12‑month cliff, 24–36 month linear vesting. Later strategic rounds may have a small TGE unlock, with the majority vested over time.
• Performance‑Linked Unlocks: A portion of insider and investor allocations may unlock only when usage, liquidity, or product milestones are reached, ensuring long‑term alignment.
• Emission & User Caps: Mining and referral rewards are governed by protocol‑level rate limits and emission schedules to maintain broad distribution and prevent abuse, rather than unlimited per‑user extraction.

Session‑Based Mining

Mining happens in 3‑hour sessions. Your hashrate and boosts determine how much Spark you earn per hour. Sessions can be started anytime, encouraging regular engagement.

Hashrate & Boosts

Base hashrate is 100. You can increase it via upgrades and boosts. Maximum hashrate is capped to keep the economy balanced.

Base Rate

1 SPK per hour at hashrate 100. Upgrades and boosts increase your SPK/h. Daily caps keep Spark scarce.

Join or Create

Discover communities by name and join directly, or spend 2000 SPK to create your own and become the owner. You can only belong to one community at a time.

Contribution %

Each member chooses a % of their completed mining sessions to send into the community treasury. This creates a shared pool that grows with every session.

Treasury Management

Admins can disburse Spark back to members or fund rewards, campaigns, or on‑chain actions. Treasuries give communities a shared purpose and resource.

Social Mining

Your earnings grow faster when you mine with a community. The shared treasury amplifies the impact of every member’s effort.

Staking Pool

40,000,000 MOL are reserved for staking rewards. Users can stake their MOL to earn protocol rewards based on APY.

Mechanics

Staking locks your tokens for 48 hours per deposit. After the lock, you can unstake anytime and continue earning until you withdraw. Rewards accrue continuously while your MOL remains staked.

Rewards

Rewards are calculated based on elapsed days since staking start and the current APY. There’s a minimum reward threshold to prevent micro‑claims.

Invite & Earn

Each successful referral earns 50 SPK (0.5 MOL equivalent). Referral rewards are governed by protocol‑level limits and emission schedules to reward growth while preventing abuse.

How It Works

Share your referral code. When someone joins and mines, you both earn. Referral rewards are paid from the mining allocation, ensuring the system remains balanced.

Anti‑Whale Design

Rate caps, per‑user limits, and session‑based mining ensure “first miner wins everything” never happens. Sessions can be started anytime, making engagement sustainable.

Broad Distribution

Lifetime caps and daily limits ensure MOL is widely distributed, supporting long‑term value and decentralization.

Why Molescules?

• No seed phrases on day one – Start mining immediately.
• Communities + treasuries – Social mining drives retention.
• Fair distribution – Caps and shared emission prevent concentration.
• Clear narrative – “You and your crew discover a digital resource and decide how to use it together.”

Molescules turns idle screen time into a shared digital resource. Join a crew, grow the treasury, and own together.
