Annual Treasury Distribution Policy - APTESG

Version: 2025
Last update: April 23, 2025

1. Purpose

This policy outlines the methods and criteria for the annual distribution of 10% of the AppleTree treasury to certified companies.

2. Distribution Schedule

The distribution takes place once a year, as specified by the smart contract.

The eligible distribution date will always fall after December 31 of each year.

3. Certification Window

To be eligible for the annual distribution:

Companies must be certified at least 4 months before the distribution date (by September 1, 2025).

Companies certified after this date will be included in the next distribution cycle.

4. Allocation Criteria

10% of the ETH balance held in the AppleTree smart contract will be distributed proportionally, based on the number of APTESG tokens purchased by each certified company.

Formula:

company_share = (tokens_purchased_by_company / total_tokens_purchased_by_all_companies) × 10% of the contract ETH balance

5. Transparency

A public snapshot listing all certified companies and the number of tokens purchased at the time of distribution will be published.

This snapshot will be available on the official website.

6. Distribution Mechanism

The distribution is executed via the smart contract’s distributeTreasuryProportionally() function.
For efficiency, distributions are processed in batches of up to 50 certified companies at a time.

7. Additional Notes

The project reserves the right to update this policy with at least 30 days' notice.

Any updates will apply only to the following year’s distribution and will not affect the current cycle.

Once initiated, the distribution is automatic and irreversible.
