Octra will launch a $20 million token sale on Sonar with a valuation of $200 million
The team behind the privacy blockchain project Octra, Octra Labs, will hold a public token sale on the Sonar platform on December 18. Sonar is a token issuance platform launched by Jordan "Cobie" Fish, recently acquired by Coinbase's ICO platform Echo.This week-long token sale aims to raise $20 million by selling 10% of the total OCT token supply, corresponding to a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $200 million, Octra stated on Tuesday. The sale will adopt a fixed price + commitment-style distribution model, allowing any number of participants to deposit funds and receive tokens proportionally, designed to maximize decentralization.Octra indicated that if demand is strong, the sale allocation may increase; any unsold tokens will be burned. All sold tokens will be fully unlocked and distributed shortly after the sale ends. The $200 million valuation is double the valuation from Octra's earlier round of funding on Echo earlier this year (raising $4 million). Additionally, Octra previously completed a $4 million pre-seed round with participation from investors such as Big Brain Holdings, Finality Capital Partners, Karatage, and Presto Labs.Regarding token distribution: early investors hold 18% of OCT, Octra Labs holds 15%, and 67% is allocated to the community, including early users, validators, grants, Echo participants, and ICO purchasers. Octra stated that no investor holds more than 3% of the tokens.
