# Fair Launch

<mark style="color:orange;">**The founding team does not have privileged access to the token distribution.**</mark>

**The source code of the&#x20;**<mark style="color:orange;">**immutable smart contracts**</mark>**&#x20;can be found on&#x20;**<mark style="color:orange;">**deb0x GitHub**</mark>**.**&#x20;

<mark style="color:orange;">**The token distribution algorithm is preprogrammed and once deployed can never be changed by the founding team (or anyone else).**</mark> Bitcoin and yEarn are other similar examples of projects that were launched with fair distribution such as deb0x.

Monetary units allocation is based on objective, pre-established rules like active protocol usage.

### There are no:

* pre-mines
* treasury allocations
* private or public sales
* protocol developer fees

> **deb0x protocol is fairly launched as a public goods** in order to become a community developed system with no central authority that can control, censor, or close it.
