CTZN early access
The early access window allows us to invite those that have had the greatest impact on our success to acquire tokens at the earliest stage of the bonding curve.
Steps to join
- Make sure you have a crypto wallet active on Polygon zkEVM. You can only send $POL to the bonding curve, and you will also need a little $ETH for gas on Polygon zkEVM. Use Polygon’s official portal to bridge tokens there. Let us know if yoou would have any issues
- Go the the Giveth early access portal and signup with a zkEVM wallet
- Complete the KYC with that crypto wallet Sure KYC sucks but in for the q/acc protocol we are using a Zero Knowlegde implementation. So your ID information is not stored but just verified once. Zero knowledge ID is used by the q/acc protocol to comply with AML, and to restrict the US and UK for regulatory reasons. It also mitigates Sybil attacks during the q/acc rounds. This protects the projects and their supporters. Check out the Complete KYC guide if needed.
- 24 hours after completing KYC you should be able to check if it was verified. ⚠️ You will not receive an email notification about that so you need to check it manually.
- Send us your wallet information using this form on order to whitelist you for early access:
- You will receive an non-transferrable NFT which will give you access to the token platform.
- Mint your tokens
- once you have access you will be able to mint tokens on the bonding curve by sending POL to it.
- For that you will need to have POL and some ETH on zkEVM. We recommend the following bridges:
Important to know
- CTZN tokens are not shares. It is a utility token that gives holders access to products and services of citizen wallet but will be trade-able on secondary markets for supporters that does not need Citizen Wallet services themselves.
- While early access gives you a more favorable price, you need to keep in mind that your tokens will be locked for 2 years with a Cliff of 1 year. Which means your tokens will gradually be unlocked after 1 year and you will have access to the full supply after 2 year.

About the early access window
The q/acc protocol also automates measures to ensure this window is not abused.
- Unlock schedule. Tokens acquired during the early access window have the same unlock schedule as the project’s tokens: 2 years with a 1-year cliff. Participants cannot acquire tokens early only to dump them immediately. These are the project’s true believers.
- Per-person cap. The per-person cap optimizes for wide inclusion. This ensures no one person can whale-up a large portion of the project’s tokens at this early stage of the project’s token economy.
- Window cap. There is an early access window cap to ensure that no more than $500K comes into the bonding curve before the q/acc round starts. This ensures that the q/acc participants are also able to provide early support and acquire tokens at the early stages on the bonding curve.
Round limits
After each round, the value of your project’s token increases based on how many new tokens were minted.
Making this a fair launch! Individual caps allow more people to participate in the important early stage of a project’s token economy. Limits for the total amount raised during this period ensures that q/acc round supporters will also have a fair deal. Once the per-round limit is reached, the round is closed. When the limit is reached in the last round, the early access window is closed.
The per-person, per-project cap and per-round limit for each of the early access mint rounds are in POL. They are calculated at the start of the round based on what the following USD-equiv in POL is at that time:
Round | Per-person, per-project cap | Per-round limit |
1 | $5K | $100K |
2 | $15K minus [funds sent in previous rounds] | $300K minus [funds collected in previous rounds] |
3 | $25K minus [funds sent in previous rounds] | $500K minus [funds collected in previous rounds] |
