Makina Pre-Launch is (almost) here and if you’re reading this, you’re early.
Think all the alpha in Crypto is gone? Think again. Makina’s Pre-Launch Machines go live at the end of September for a limited 4-week window. Welcome to Season 0.
Earn real yield. Stack points. Secure early access to the $MAK ICO at the same valuation as the seed round.
Season 0 is for those who show up before everything is obvious.
What You’re Getting
Makina is rewarding early action with real upside. Participation earns real, onchain value and secures your spot in both the priority ICO and the highly anticipated launch strategies.
Here’s what you take home from Season 0:
Base yield on top of crypto assets (BTC, ETH, USD)
Tickets that offer you a spot in our Priority ICO at a fixed $35M FDV
Points that convert into $MAK tokens at TGE
Early access perks including eligibility for an exclusive and limited NFT drop (this announcement is going to be amazing! Stealth mode for now)
How It Works
Makina is keeping it simple. Deposit, earn, and choose how far you want to go.
You can buy Machine Tokens (MT) on a DEX or mint them by depositing select assets into the pre-launch Machines (more on this later). From there, you can either hold them in your wallet (Ethereum mainnet) or stake them into Curve for boosted rewards.
Option 1: Hold MT in your wallet on Ethereum mainnet
Earn base yield
Get 1x Tickets + 1x Points
Option 2: Deposit MT into Curve
Still earn base yield
Get 1.5x Tickets + 1.5x Points
Your rewards are earned per block. Every block counts. Stay in, and your rewards stack. Exit early, and you lose them. If you sell, redeem, or move during Season 0, your tickets and points vanish.
Why Tickets Matter
Tickets secure your spot in the $MAK Priority ICO at a fixed $35M FDV. This is the same valuation offered to our seed-investors. You get first access, a fair price, and 25% liquid at TGE with the rest vesting over 9 months.
Any tokens not claimed in this round will roll into the Public ICO, but the real edge comes from being early.
Why Points Matter
If tickets are your entry, points are your upside.
Points are a way to track your contribution onchain. The more you earn, the more $MAK you’ll be able to claim at TGE. You earn points per dollar, per block, with boosts depending on how you participate.
Only in Season 0 are points forfeited if you move your MTs. After that, they’re locked to your wallet. We’re also working on a very novel (and badass way) to reward those who accumulated the most points and rank highest on the leaderboard, but more on the NFT drop in a few weeks.
Time = Yield
There’s a clear edge to moving early.
We’ve built a time-weighted additional boost into the campaign. The earlier you deposit, the bigger your multiplier. Here’s the breakdown:
The earlier you deposit, the more you earn.
Deposit during:
Week 1: earn a 1.6x boost
Week 2: earn a 1.3x boost
Week 3: earn a 1.1x boost
Week 4: earn a 1.0x boost
And that’s just the time boost. It stacks with additional rewards by depositing MTs into Curve. It’s optional, but rewarded.
Season 0 ends after 4 weeks, and with it, tickets can no longer be accumulated.
Who Can Participate?
Makina is open to anyone onchain. That means:
DeFi users, old and new
Whales and professional farmers
Anyone who misses (or missed) the early ICO days with real value and low FDVs
Collectors who want to be eligible for the NFT drop via the leaderboard (Artist TBA)
If you can connect a wallet, you’re eligible.

What is Makina
Makina is a DeFi Execution Engine built for secure, non-custodial access to professional, risk-managed yield strategies across EVM chains.
It connects strategists (called Operators) with onchain users through modular vaults called Machines, optimizing capital in real time, with onchain accounting, built-in risk controls, and continuous revenue accrual.
Makina is programmable, composable, and designed to scale with DeFi. Backed by strategic angels from Cyber.Fund, Interop VC, Steakhouse, Bodhi Ventures, and others, it’s built to be a foundational layer for onchain asset management, with trust-minimized infrastructure and institutional-grade execution.
