What PrideCoin Does

Recognition Token
An acknowledgment of meaningful service, advocacy, education, creativity, or support — not a financial reward.
Symbol of Appreciation

Community Engagement Tool
A symbol that fosters connection, visibility, and shared identity within and beyond the LGBTQ+ community.
Why 196,900,000?
The number is not arbitrary. It is a tribute.
The total supply of 196,900,000 PRIDE tokens is a direct reference to the year 1969 — a historic turning point in the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
In June of 1969, the Stonewall Uprising in New York City marked a defining moment of resistance, visibility, and community solidarity. The events of that year ignited a movement that continues to shape lives and laws around the world.
Every PRIDE token carries that history. The supply is a permanent, blockchain-encoded homage to the people who made the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement possible.
Distribution Philosophy
Tokens are initially held by the founder and distributed gradually based entirely on meaningful contributions to the LGBTQ+ community. There are no token sales, no presales, and no financial transactions involved.
Approximately 10% of the total supply is expected to be distributed in the early phase. Every distribution decision is guided by community impact, not financial value.
Guiding Principles
• Recognition is earned, not purchased
• Distributions reflect community impact, not financial participation
• No token sale. No presale. No financial transaction required.
• Recipients are selected based on documented contribution and community relevance
• The founder retains sole distribution authority in the early phase, with the intent to formalize community-led processes over time
PrideCoin is not a fundraising tool. It is a recognition instrument. Distribution is driven entirely by community impact.
