# Retail Investors

### Here at *SeePad*.io we're challenging the norm. Investors aren't made to lock away vast sums for tiny allocations.

### Investing through [*SeedPad*.io](https://seedpad.io/) is designed to be straightforward and rewarding.

## Process

### Here’s the process broken down into five simple steps:

1. **Access**

   Simply own a D3conomist NFT for exclusive access to top-tier allocations, or hold some $SPAD tokens to access lower-tiers.
2. **Invest**

   Decide what portion of your investment you want to automatically roll over into the next launch, then invest.
3. **Receipt**

   Mint your Launch-NFT: A digital proof of investment, stating how many tokens you'll receive. These are trade-able immediately
4. **Tokens**

   Receive the promised amount of tokens directly into your wallet upon launch, providing you still hold the Launch-NFT.
5. **Re-Invest**

   Compound your gains into the next token launch automatically, plus claim any extra profits, after a market-making fee.

♻️ Repeat steps 2-5 for compounding returns

This streamlined process ensures investors can easily navigate their way from one investment to another with the help of auto-compounding profits.

## Allocation Tiers

#### Making Seed-Funding Accessible for All

Upon the launch of our $SPAD token, we'll unveil a tiered allocation system, placing NFT holders at the apex while providing substantial, yet smaller, allocations to two additional tiers.

This structure ensures a fair and advantageous distribution, catering to a diverse investor base. See below for an example of what allocations might look like for a $500k raise. 👇

***

### **Example Allocations for $1M Raise:**

**D3** \[70%]: $700k total = $280 each (Max 2.5k D3conomist NFTs)

**D2** \[20%]: $200k total = $100 each (2k holders = 40% Supply / 20k $SPAD)

**D1** \[10%]: $100k total = $27.5 each (3,636k holders = 40% Supply / 11k $SPAD)

***

## **Funding Phases:**

1. Each pool-tier allocation is divided up between all qualifying holders, on a pro-rata basis - according to individual token holdings (as a % of total qualifying tokens).
2. Any leftover allocation will then be offered to all those who invested in the first phase, again on a pro-rata basis, however this time according to allocation filled (as a % of total amount filled).
3. If there's still allocation leftover at this stage, it will be offered to all prior investors again, but on a first come first serve (FCFS) basis this time.
