100,000 common shares, set aside for the community that builds the record. Your token balance decides your slice. First distribution September 2026.
Linestry is setting aside a single fixed pool of 100,000 common shares of Lineage Community Technologies Inc. for the founding community. On September 30, 2026 we take a snapshot of every member's token balance, and the pool is split in proportion to weighted tokens: the more you have built by then, the larger your slice.
One pool, shared by everyone, not 100,000 shares per member. After the snapshot, shares are held collectively in the Lineage Community Trust on your behalf. Your slice is determined by your tokens. The trust handles the rest.
The pool is shared by members, not every account. There are two ways in, and both let your tokens start counting toward your slice.
Become a member: Annual, Lifetime, or Founding. Your tokens count in the pool for as long as your membership is active.
Earn 100 contribution tokens and we comp you a free year of membership. Same benefits, no payment.
Free riders keep every token they earn. Those tokens start sharing the pool the moment you become a member, by either route.
Tokens are how your slice of the pool is calculated. They are non-transferable internal credits, not crypto, and they never expire.
| TOKEN | EARNERS | AMOUNT | WEIGHT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founder token | Founding members | 100 on purchase | 2× |
| Member token | Annual, Lifetime, Founding | 20 per year (Lifetime: 70 upfront) | 1× |
| Contribution token | All riders earn; members share | Earned by activity | 1× |
| Adding a timeline entry or story | +1 |
| Posting a story with photos | +1 |
| Linking an authoritative external source | +2 |
| Adding a community connection to a story | +1 |
| Adding a new place, board, or event to the catalog | +2 |
| Showing up: your first visit each day | +1 |
| Onboarding a new active rider | +5 |
| Verifying another rider's entry (members only)COMING SOON | +1 |
| Entry verified by 3+ members (bonus to you)COMING SOON | +2 |
Fair-play cap: content actions (entries, media, sources, connections, catalog adds) earn at most 20 tokens per day. Daily visits, onboarding, and verification sit outside the cap.
Slide to a weighted token balance and see the slice of the pool it would earn against a projected end-of-offer total.
Based on ~20,000 total weighted tokens (projected end-of-offer pool). Every estimate moves until the September 30, 2026 snapshot: as the community earns, the pie divides further; as you contribute, your slice grows back.
Snapshot: Token balances recorded on September 30, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Nothing to do before then except keep building your linestry.
Community Trust: After the snapshot, shares are held in the Lineage Community Trust on behalf of all qualifying members. Your beneficial interest in the trust is proportional to your weighted token balance. One trust, one pool, shared by the community that built it.
Your stake: You don't hold shares directly. The trust holds them for you. Your token balance determines your share of the trust, and your share of any future value event: sale, dividend, or IPO. Think of it as community ownership without the paperwork.
Estimates: Until the snapshot, the share numbers you see in the app are estimates. They move with every token the community earns.
Tokens stay tokens: Tokens are not securities and never convert by themselves. They are the measuring stick the trust uses on snapshot day to calculate each member's beneficial interest.
