# Chapter 10 · Genesis Stacking

A rite of ascent in one hundred tiers

### 10.1 Position: The First Door to Participation

Genesis stacking is VITA's rite of issuance and every builder's first step through the tower's door. 52,500,000 VITA — 25% of supply — are minted along a <mark style="color:$warning;">**bonding curve**</mark> written into the contract in advance. It divides into 100 consecutive price tiers, a hundred steps of the tower, and every VITA is born by being bought off the curve with real capital. The price climbs from 0.100 USDT at tier 1 (curve parameter 0.02, near-linear overall) to 0.200 USDT at tier 100 — exactly twice the start. The earlier you climb, the lower the step beneath you; and there is only one curve for everyone.

### 10.2 The Fish-Belly Distribution: Rhythm Written into a Normal Curve

Per-tier issuance follows a discrete normal distribution (μ = 50.5, σ = 20), producing a <mark style="color:$warning;">**fish-belly structure**</mark>：

of low price and small supply early, concentrated release in the middle, and higher price with contracting supply late. Under this model tier 1 issues about 49,579 at 0.100 USDT; tiers 50 and 51 peak at about 1,060,052 each; tier 100 issues about 49,579 at 0.200 USDT; and after integer adjustment the hundred tiers sum to exactly 52,500,000. Every stretch of the curve carries a clear intent:<mark style="color:$warning;">**low price and small supply early**</mark>, reserving the steepest price advantage for the earliest believers while limited supply prevents whales from monopolizing;<mark style="color:$warning;">**volume in the middle**</mark>, opening capacity to the main body of builders as consensus warms;<mark style="color:$warning;">**contraction at the tail**</mark>, finishing the sprint in scarcity so that genesis closes with demand still unmet.

### 10.3 Execution Rules: The Contract Officiates

* <mark style="color:$warning;">**State fully transparent**</mark>: the contract publishes the current tier price, remaining amount and cumulative state in real time, and the space left on every step is visible to all.
* <mark style="color:$warning;">**Cross-tier always split**</mark>: when funds span several tiers the contract settles tier by tier — the price ladder treats everyone alike and no one can buy straight through a stretch of it.
* <mark style="color:$warning;">**Sold out means moving up**</mark>: a sold-out tier advances automatically to the next; once tier 100 sells out, genesis stacking <mark style="color:$warning;">**ends forever**</mark>, and there is no second genesis.

### 10.4 Fair Minting: The First Cornerstone of Legitimacy

Genesis stacking holds to the most orthodox principle of fairness in this industry:<mark style="color:$warning;">**no private sale, no institutional round, no hidden pricing**</mark> — the hundred-tier curve is public from the day of deployment, each tier's price and quantity fixed in code, and every participant faces the same curve, the same rules and the same entrance. The contract officiates the whole issuance, and neither the team nor any third party has a priority lane.

Stacking also grants participants the right to claim crystals, the credential of identity for entering the Tower Network; the philosophy and structure of that system appear in Chapters 4 through 6. The moment minting completes, genesis issuance closes forever — thereafter every movement of VITA happens on the open market under public rules.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://vitaprotocol.gitbook.io/vita/vita-protocol/whitepaper/chapter-10-genesis-stacking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
