# Overview

When STIMS deploys a token, the deployer buys in on behalf of the community and locks it for the long haul.

## How it works

* **Up to 20% of supply acquired at deploy** — STIMS allocates capital from the deployer to acquire up to 20% of the new token's supply directly at launch.
* **Locked for 180 days** — that position is staked on Printr at the maximum 180-day tier, earning the highest fee multiplier.
* **Held for STIMS stakers** — every fee that position earns flows back to STIMS holders through the [Curated Launch Revenue](/for-stakers/overview) stream, alongside any [Printr Points](/printr-points/overview) accrued while the program is active.

## Why it matters

A 20% deployer position locked for 180 days does two things at once:

* **For the launch:** the early chart isn't carried by snipers and extractive flow. A meaningful portion of supply is committed long-term from day one — reinforcing what Printr is built around: real conviction, real locks, real time-in-market.
* **For STIMS stakers:** every deploy becomes another fee printer and another aligned bag in the basket — not a one-off ape, but a long-duration position routed back to holders.
