The Neon Machine team, responsible for the development of the blockchain game Shrapnel, has announced a crucial revision of the SHRAP token release schedule. This decision aims to optimize token distribution in line with the game development pace and is intended to increase their value. According to the new plan, the number of tokens released in April will be reduced by 75%. This measure is designed for a more thoughtful and strategic distribution of tokens among the development team and investors.

Initial plans had anticipated a broader token release in April, but now, with the new adjustments, the release volume will be significantly reduced. However, the distribution of tokens from the community reward pool and ecosystem fund will continue unchanged, according to the original plans.

Aaron Nonis, the COO of Shrapnel, emphasized that as the project evolved, the team gained a clearer understanding of the product release timeline. According to him, the introduced changes are synchronized with the addition of new features and are aimed at enhancing the token's utility and value for users.

The introduced updated schedule suggests a nonlinear token distribution, starting with a slow release that will accelerate depending on the growth of the user base and the expansion of SHRAP token usage. This decision affects various project participant groups, including developers, advisors, and investors, ensuring balance and fairness in token distribution.

The SHRAP token plays a central role in the Shrapnel ecosystem, offering players rewards for participating in competitions, the ability to publish game content, and purchase custom weapon skins. Additionally, it is used for voting within the game community. The attention of crypto investors and Web3 players to token unlocks highlights their significance for market supply and potential market impact, motivating the team to aim for reduced volatility and maintain stable demand for SHRAP tokens.
