REIST Research Token (REIST)
The REIST Research Token is the documented ERC-20 test token for the REIST
Division research project on Base Sepolia. Its official contract address is
0xF2960B84525dF8Da9C038EA85AE5e3B4D0C26A68.
Only the network and address together uniquely identify this test token.

Genesis Allocation
The allocation is created in the constructor. The address that directly performs the deployment may not assume any of the three recipient roles and receives zero tokens.
| Pool | Share | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research Rewards | 70% | 700,000 | verified reproductions, implementations, and research contributions |
| Ecosystem Treasury | 20% | 200,000 | documented project operations, infrastructure, and integrations |
| Founder Vesting | 10% | 100,000 | time-bound allocation to the founder/author |
The deployment reserved 0% for a public sale and 0% for DEX liquidity.
There is no private presale round and no price commitment. This is documented
project policy, not a transfer restriction of the standard ERC-20: treasuries
and subsequent holders can technically transfer and could thereby also enable
secondary markets.
Founder Vesting
- Start: timestamp of the token deployment
- Cliff: 365 days
- Total duration: 1,095 days
- Schedule: linear from the start, with withdrawals locked before the cliff
- At the cliff: one third is vested
- End: fully vested after three years
The contract is based on OpenZeppelin's VestingWalletCliff. Its beneficiary
role is transferable. This does not accelerate the schedule, but it permits
the transfer of economic rights to amounts that have not yet been withdrawn.
Renouncing the beneficiary role (renounceOwnership) is disabled in the REIST
vesting contract so that tokens still subject to vesting cannot accidentally
become permanently inaccessible.
A read-only Base Sepolia record
binds the observed state to finalized block 44966505. At that block, the full
100,000 REIST remained in the vesting contract and its owner matched the
published founder beneficiary. Before the cliff, released, releasable, and
vested were all 0; no later incoming or outgoing REIST transfers had
occurred after the initial allocation. The exact dates are 2 August 2026 for
the start, 2 August 2027 for the cliff, and 1 August 2029 for the end. The end
date results from the exact duration of 3 × 365 days. This observation was
not a transaction or disbursement and is neither an audit nor a guarantee of
future state.
Treasury Control
The token contract enforces the initial recipients and amounts, not the later use of treasury balances. The two testnet treasuries are separate wallets that are currently controlled centrally; they are not independently staffed Safe multisigs. The following are planned for substantive disbursements and are mandatory before any mainnet deployment:
- two separate Safe multisigs,
- a published signer count and threshold,
- every disbursement documented with a bounty/decision ID and evidence,
- a public contribution register with transaction links,
- periodic reconciliation of expected and actual wallet balances.
As long as one person controls all Safe keys, this must be openly described as centralized control. A multisig label alone does not constitute decentralization.
No Economic Promise
A fixed supply creates neither demand nor value. Tokens may remain worthless and completely illiquid. There is no dividend, profit participation, redemption, minimum price, interest, staking yield, or commitment to a future exchange listing.
