# Tokenomics

### Thesis

The token targets **equitable, community-first distribution.** Ultimately, **majority ownership** of the protocol will be ongoing liquidity mining. Long-term contributor **vesting** aligns incentives to sustain protocol progress.

### Key Principles

* **Equitable distribution.** Allocation and access are designed to be fair and transparent while aligning the interests of users, contributors, and partners.
* **Synergy with products.** the token complements PotatoSwap’s products—**initially the DEX and Launchpad**—with utility and rewards that reinforce usage and liquidity depth.
* **Aligned incentives.** Thoughtful **vesting schedules** and **emissions** encourage long-term participation, reduce mercenary behavior, and support durable protocol growth.

***

**Notes (WIP):**

* Exact **allocation %, emission rates, and vesting cliffs** are being iterated and will be finalized post-audit and partner feedback.
* All timelines and parameters remain **subject to change** based on market conditions and community input.
