## Token Supply

100,000,000 Max Supply of NEU will be minted.

## Token Distribution

1. **Community Rewards (50%)**

   * **Liquidity Mining (30%)**:
     * **Emission Rate**: Gradual daily emissions over a 5-year period.
     * **Reduction Mechanism**: Implement a declining emissions model (e.g., 20% reduction in rewards per year) to create a natural scarcity over time.
     * **Unlock Schedule**: Weekly claims to ensure liquidity providers have regular access without abrupt large releases.
   * **Staking Rewards (10%)**:
     * **Emission Rate**: Constant daily releases for a 4-year period.
     * **Unlock Schedule**: Tokens will be claimed at regular intervals weekly, with an option to increase rewards for users who lock tokens for longer periods.
   * **Bonds (5%)**:
     * **Emission Rate**: Released based on user demand, with a cap on discounts to prevent overspending.
     * **Unlock Schedule**: Immediate.
   * **Ecosystem Growth (5%)**:
     * **Emission Rate**: Quarterly release based on project or community milestones.
     * **Unlock Schedule**: Controlled release based on project needs, with a 1-year vesting period to avoid oversupply.

   #### 2. **Founding Team & Advisors (20%)**

   * **Vesting Schedule**: A 4-year schedule with a 1-year cliff to build investor confidence.
   * **Monthly Vesting After Cliff**: After the 1-year cliff, tokens can vest monthly or quarterly to provide consistent incentives.
   * **Advisor Tokens**: Generally on a 2-year vesting schedule with a 6-month cliff, tailored for advisory roles and limited commitments.

   #### 3. **Treasury and Governance (10%)**

   * **Initial Unlock (5% of Allocation)**: Reserve a small amount for immediate use in case of urgent governance or security measures.
   * **Gradual Release**: The rest is unlocked over 3–5 years, providing long-term stability for governance initiatives.
   * **Vesting for Use**: Tokens should be stored in a smart contract that vests based on community governance votes to allow funding of key projects over time.

   #### 4. **VC and Strategic Investors (15%)**

   * **Seed Round (5%)**: 2-year vesting with a 6-month cliff, allowing investors to show a commitment while offering them liquidity after the cliff.
   * **Series A (5%)**: 18-month vesting with a 3-month cliff, enabling these early investors to gradually access their tokens.
   * **Series B (5%)**: 1-year vesting, no cliff, as these investors are closer to launch and typically accept a shorter vesting period.
   * **Rationale**: These staggered vesting schedules prevent any single large unlock that could spook the market while providing consistent incentives for strategic investors.

   #### 5. **Public Sale (5%)**

   * **Initial Unlock (20%)**: A small portion unlocked at TGE (Token Generation Event) to ensure early supporters have immediate liquidity.
   * **Linear Vesting (80%)**: Remaining tokens distributed over a 6-month period to avoid sudden market dumps.
   * **Rationale**: Shorter schedule than strategic investors but ensures the public sale aligns with token demand and initial liquidity support.

This phased distribution ensures a stable release schedule, encourages long-term commitment, and prevents supply shocks.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://neuraswap.gitbook.io/neuraswap/welcome/neuraswap-tokens/neu/neu-tokenomics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
