# Tokenomics

> Who owns the Droyd token supply: the launch allocation, the vesting terms for service providers and early investors, and the unlock ladder.

The Droyd token is being launched through a MetaDAO funding launch. This page
shows how the supply is divided, who holds each part, and on what terms it becomes
transferable. It is not about task assets or credits: task ownership is per task
and lives in the [marketplace](/core-concepts/marketplace/overview), and credits
are a prepaid dollar balance for runtime.

## How to read an ownership breakdown

Four numbers describe any token launch:

1. **Total supply** is how many tokens will ever exist. Every share below is a
   share of this number.
2. **Allocation** is who receives tokens at launch: the community backers who fund
   it, the liquidity pool that lets the token trade, and the service providers and
   early investors who built and financed the platform.
3. **Liquidity** is the part of the supply paired with launch proceeds so there is
   a market from day one. Money committed to liquidity is not working capital.
4. **Locks and unlocks** are the conditions under which service-provider and
   investor tokens become transferable, by time, by price, or both.

Droyd uses *service providers* for the people and firms building the platform,
including the team. Their package and its unlock terms are the numbers to read
most carefully, because they set the incentives of the people building Droyd.

## Allocation

| Allocation                            |         Tokens | Share of supply | Terms                                                |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------: | --------------: | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Community backers                     |     10,000,000 |           38.8% | Purchased in the funding launch                      |
| Liquidity                             |      2,900,000 |           11.2% | Paired with launch proceeds to seed the trading pool |
| Service providers and early investors |     12,900,000 |           50.0% | Vesting schedule and unlock ladder below             |
| **Total supply**                      | **25,800,000** |        **100%** |                                                      |

There is no treasury allocation. The Droyd treasury holds no tokens; it is funded
by platform fees, which are described on
[Token Earnings](/tokenomics/token-earnings).

## Vesting for service providers and early investors

The service-provider and early-investor allocation is locked by time:

* **An 18-month cliff.** Nothing from this allocation unlocks for the first 18
  months after launch.
* **A 24-month linear vest after the cliff.** Once the cliff passes, the
  allocation vests in equal monthly amounts over the next 24 months, so it is
  fully vested 42 months after launch.

Community backers and the liquidity pool are not subject to this schedule.

## The unlock ladder

Time is not the only condition. Vested service-provider and investor tokens also
follow the launch's unlock ladder, which ties transferability to the price the
token has actually sustained:

* The allocation is divided into **five equal tranches**.
* Each tranche unlocks when the token reaches a milestone multiple of the price
  community backers paid: **2×, 4×, 8×, 16× and 32×**.
* Milestones are measured on a **time-weighted average price over roughly three
  months**, not on a momentary price, so a short spike cannot trip a tranche.
* A tranche whose milestone is never reached stays locked.

Both conditions apply: a token from this allocation is transferable only once it
has vested and its tranche's milestone has been met. The effect is that the people
building Droyd are paid for a token that has held its value for backers, not for
a launch-day price.

## What the token is not

Holding the token does not by itself entitle you to task assets, trajectories,
credits or a share of platform fees. Where the treasury earns fees is described on
[Token Earnings](/tokenomics/token-earnings); the token's governance and economic
rights are defined by the launch terms.
