The RATE Token is built for the AI reputation economy

Built on ratingCount.com's aggregation engine, RATE is designed to become the protocol layer for tokenized reviews — a trust layer for human and AI agent commerce, with Rating-as-a-Service APIs and Model Context Protocol access planned.

Use Cases

The infrastructure of internet trust

RATE is designed to connect blockchain infrastructure to real-world review intelligence across six planned product surfaces.

🌐

The RATE Protocol

The TCP/IP of trust scores. Planned: a protocol layer for decentralized, tokenized reviews that any platform can plug into to read, write, and verify reputation on-chain.

🔗

Rating-as-a-Service

Planned: aggregated, verified trust scores via a simple API, where every call would burn a micro-amount of RATE.

🤖

AI Agent Reputation

The credit score for AI. As autonomous agents transact on behalf of humans, RATE is designed to power the reputation infrastructure they rely on — planned to be queryable in real time via MCP.

🎯

Reputation Staking

Planned: businesses stake RATE against reputation claims, and verified fraud puts those stakes at risk.

📊

Brand Intelligence

Planned: reputation monitoring across Amazon, Yelp, Google, Trustpilot and Reddit, with premium tiers and bulk analysis priced in RATE.

🆔

Reviewer Identity

Planned: prove you're real without proving who you are — zero-knowledge verification of genuine purchase history that keeps reviewers anonymous.

Trust & Safety

Liquidity Guarantee

The Fair Launch is designed from the ground up to protect contributors. At finalization, every ETH raised in the sale is paired with RATE as Uniswap V2 liquidity, and the LP tokens are locked for 365 days; if the sale is cancelled, contributors can claim a refund instead.

🔒
LP Locked 12 Months
After finalization, LP tokens are time-locked on-chain for 365 days, with no early withdrawal possible. After the lock expires, the contract owner can withdraw them.
🔥
Unsold Tokens Burned
Any unsold RATE tokens at end of sale are sent to 0xdead — permanently reducing circulating supply.

Full Refund if Cancelled
If the sale is cancelled for any reason, all contributors can claim a full ETH refund directly from the contract.

Cryptoassets are high risk. Be prepared to lose all the money you put in. Not financial advice — do your own research. Roadmap items are plans, not current features. Verify the contracts.

Distribution

Tokenomics

Fixed supply of 100 billion RATE. Vesting schedules are defined in the verified VestingManager contract, whose owner can reassign a beneficiary address; see the verified contracts for schedules and owner powers.

TGE (token generation event) is a one-time action by the contract owner, available once vesting is configured. It does not happen automatically when the sale ends.

Vesting periods are 30 days, not calendar months.

How the project is funded

The sale contract does not pay sale proceeds to the team. On successful finalization, the ETH raised is supplied as Uniswap V2 liquidity, and the resulting LP tokens are locked for 365 days from finalization. If the sale is cancelled, contributors can claim refunds.

ratingCount is funded in RATE, from the allocations the project holds:

  • Founders, Team & Advisors (22%): 20% at TGE, then continuous linear vesting over 36 periods of 30 days.
  • Seed Investment (5%): fully claimable 30 days after TGE.
  • Ecosystem (15%): a 360-day cliff after TGE, then continuous linear vesting over 1,080 days.
  • Marketing (10%): continuous linear vesting over 1,080 days from TGE.
  • Treasury (8%): held directly in the project treasury wallet; not subject to on-chain vesting.

Vested tokens must be claimed. The project may sell these tokens or use them to pay for development, operations and marketing. Selling adds supply to the market and can push the price down.

Trading tax. The configured rates are 3% buy / 3% sell on taxable trades with the contract's designated AMM pairs. Transfers involving a fee-exempt address are not taxed. Collected RATE can be swapped to ETH and sent to the treasury wallet; this does not happen on every trade. The contract owner can change either rate up to 10%, change fee exemptions, and change the treasury wallet.

What the contract owner can do.

  • Set the tax rates (0–10%), change fee exemptions and change the treasury wallet.
  • Blacklist addresses, except the RATE token contract and its main Uniswap pair.
  • Move all vesting schedules belonging to one beneficiary, together, to a new address.
  • Pause an active sale, resume a paused one, or cancel it while it is active or paused.
  • Trigger TGE.
  • Once liquidity exists and the 365-day lock has expired, withdraw the LP tokens held by the sale contract.

No callable function can mint additional RATE after deployment, and the contracts are not upgradeable.

TGE (token generation event) is a one-time action by the contract owner, available once vesting is configured. It does not happen automatically when the sale ends. Verify the contracts →

Questions

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know about RATE, the Fair Launch, and how your contribution is protected.

How does the Fair Launch sale work? +
Contributors send ETH directly to the sale contract at the current tier price; their RATE becomes claimable after the sale is finalized. There are 5 tiers, each more expensive than the last; a tier ends when it sells out or after 14 days, whichever comes first. At finalization, 100% of the sale's ETH is paired with RATE and deposited as Uniswap V2 liquidity, and the LP tokens are time-locked on-chain for 365 days.
Is there a team allocation or vesting? +
Yes. 22% of supply is allocated to founders, team, and advisors — 20% at TGE, then continuous linear vesting over 36 × 30-day periods (≈488,888,888 per 30-day period on average; not a monthly payout). Ecosystem (15%) has a 360-day cliff from TGE, then continuous linear vesting over 1,080 days. Marketing (10%) has continuous linear vesting over 1,080 days from TGE. Vesting periods are 30 days, not calendar months. Treasury (8%) is not in VestingManager; it is held directly in the treasury wallet. Seed Investment (5%): fully claimable after a 30-day cliff from TGE. Vested tokens must be claimed.
How is the project funded? +
The sale doesn't pay the team: raised ETH becomes locked Uniswap liquidity, or is refunded if the sale is cancelled. The project is funded in RATE from the allocations it holds (Team & Advisors, Seed Investment, Ecosystem, Marketing and Treasury), which it may sell or use. Treasury (8%) is not subject to on-chain vesting. A 3%/3% trading tax (owner-adjustable up to 10%) can be swapped to ETH and sent to the treasury wallet. Full details →
What happens if the sale is cancelled? +
If the sale is cancelled, every contributor can call claimRefund() directly on the sale contract and reclaim 100% of their ETH. The contract enforces this — it doesn't require our approval, a multisig, or any off-chain action.
Why Uniswap V2 instead of V3 or V4? +
V2 is the most battle-tested AMM, with a full-range LP model that's simple to verify and lock. Once trading is enabled, users can trade from any interface — no fee-tier selection, no concentrated liquidity management. We'll evaluate V4 hooks after DAO handover in Phase 04.
What gives RATE its value? +
Planned utility across the product surfaces above: querying the Rating-as-a-Service API, paying for AI infrastructure access, staking for the AI Agent Reputation Network, posting reputation collateral in Trust Markets, and accessing premium Brand Intelligence tiers. None of these is live yet; they are roadmap items.
Which wallets and chains are supported? +
The Fair Launch runs on Ethereum mainnet. Any EVM-compatible wallet works: MetaMask, Rabby, Frame, Ledger, Trezor, WalletConnect. Cross-chain bridges to Base and Arbitrum arrive in Phase 04.
What's the minimum contribution? +
0.05 ETH. The maximum is 3.2 ETH per wallet (and per transaction), enforced by the sale contract.
What is stRATE liquid staking? +
Planned: staking RATE would issue stRATE derivatives representing the staked position, tradable on DEXs and usable as DeFi collateral. Staking is not live.
