### Tokenomics Summary

#### Ticker, Initial Supply, Hard Cap

The ticker of the native token of **Mangata X** is **$MGX**. At TGE, it had a **total supply of 1bn MGX**. Rewards are issued up to a **capped supply of 4bn MGX**, which will be reached at the earliest in 5 years. 80% of the final supply of tokens is reserved for the community.

#### MGX Utilities

* **use in Proof-of-Liquidity staking to secure the network:** as this activity is also incentivized, there will be strong demand to provide liquidity for collator nodes.
* **liquidity base layer:** as a lot of liquidity concentrates around MGX, this will offer a lot of short trading routes through MGX, establishing a base layer of liquidity.
* **algorithmic buy & burn:** to continuously offer validation rewards to secure the network against front-runners, we take a small part of the exchange commission to buy & burn MGX.
* **Governance:** managing the diversified treasury and DEX-owned liquidity, as well as liquidity mining incentives and validation rewards, will be a political task that creates demand for liquid MGX.

#### Exchange Commission & Fees

**The Exchange Commission** on trades is 0.3%, of which

* 0.2% go to liquidity providers,
* 0.05% to the Treasury
* 0.05% are used for algorithmic buy & burn.

#### Token Distribution

**80% of all tokens are allocated for the Community**, with the main portions allocated for securing the network and providing liquidity. The rest of the community portion is awarded for supporting the network via crowdloans and other activities.
