## Distribution and Allocation in Solstarter
The distribution and allocation process is mentioned below:

Distribution: It is fairly simple and carried out based on sos token a user has (pool weight).

Allocation: the amount of sos token the user has staked determines the pool weight of allocation of a given user.

It is divided into four tiers:

Tier1:Moon- 7% POOL WEIGHT
5000 STAKED SOS

Tier2:Planet- 15% POOL WEIGHT
9000 STAKED SOS

Tier3:Red giant- 28% POOL WEIGHT
16000 STAKED SOS

Tier4:SuperNova- 50% POOL WEIGHT
25000 STAKED SOS

**Solstarter claims to provide:**

Fair distribution
Guaranteed allocation
Fully decentralized
