# Token Distribution

Total supply: 1,000,000,000 $ANITYA (fixed, no inflation)

The distribution is designed to ensure long-term community ownership while providing sustainable funding for development:

| **Category**                            | **Allocation** | **Unlocked at TGE** | **Cliff & Vesting**      |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Pre-Sale                                | 5%             | 10%                 | 3mo cliff + 12mo linear  |
| Community Sale                          | 3%             | 0%                  | 6mo cliff + 18mo linear  |
| Liquidity                               | 6.5%           | 100%                | None                     |
| Foundation                              | 11.5%          | 0%                  | 36mo linear              |
| Community Incentives Pre-TGE            | 7%             | 2%                  | 24mo linear              |
| Airdrop & Community Incentives Post TGE | 26%            | 0%                  | 60mo linear              |
| Existing Investors                      | 14%            | 0%                  | 12mo cliff + 36mo linear |
| Team & Advisors                         | 23%            | 0%                  | 12mo cliff + 36mo linear |
| Public Sale                             | 4%             | 100%                | None                     |

### **Community-first allocation**

The largest single allocation (33%) goes to community incentives distributed over 60 months. This ensures the protocol is owned and controlled by users in the long run, not founders or investors.

### **Long vesting for insiders**

Team and investor allocations have 12-month cliffs and 36-month vesting. This ensures long-term alignment. No insider can dump tokens immediately after launch.

### **Immediate liquidity**

10.5% unlocked at TGE (6.5% liquidity + 4% public sale) provides sufficient trading volume while preventing market manipulation from concentrated holdings.

### **Foundation for sustainability**

11.5% allocated to protocol development, grants, partnerships, and ecosystem growth. Vested over 36 months to ensure responsible deployment.

## 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://anitya.gitbook.io/lightpaper/protocol-economics-and-token-design/token-distribution.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.
