# Tokenomics #### 🔁 5/5 Tax Structure Every time the token is bought or sold, there’s a small 5% tax on each side of the transaction: * **5% on buys** * **5% on sells** This tax is automatically collected and used to fund real work. *** ### Where the tax goes We split the tax into two main areas: **Platform Development (40%)** A portion of the tax goes directly towards improving the platform — adding new features, expanding infrastructure, paying devs, and supporting ongoing maintenance. This helps us keep building without relying on outside funding. **Marketing (Token + Platform, 60%)** The rest goes into spreading the word — both about the token and the trading platform. This includes everything from community campaigns and listings to influencer outreach and user education. It helps get more eyes (and hands) on what we’re building. #### Simplicity The tokenomics are simple on purpose. Every bit of tax collected is either spent on making the token more useful or on making the platform more powerful. We’ll also share regular updates on how tax funds are being used, so the community can track progress — and hold us accountable. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
