# Tokenomics
The NOYA token follows a **fixed supply and clearly defined allocation model**, designed to ensure low initial float, long-term alignment, and sustainable incentives.
**Total Supply:** 1,000,000,000 NOYA
**Initial Circulating Supply at TGE:** approximately 10%
Key characteristics:
* No team tokens unlocked at TGE
* Low initial float to reduce early sell pressure
* Long-term vesting for team, foundation, and ecosystem allocations
* Buyback and burn funded by revenue across all NOYA products

#### Token Allocation Overview
| Allocation Bucket | % of Supply | Tokens (M) | TGE Unlock | Vesting / Notes |
| -------------------------- | ----------- | ---------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Team | 20% | 200 | 0% | 6-month cliff, then linear vesting over 48 months |
| Community Emissions | 37% | 370 | 0% | Linear monthly emissions over 60 months |
| Airdrop | 5% | 50 | 100%\* | Majority liquid at TGE; larger allocations vested 3–6 months for stability |
| Foundation / Treasury | 10% | 100 | 0% | Linear vesting over 48 months |
| Ecosystem & Partnerships | 15% | 150 | 0% | Linear vesting over 48 months |
| Launch-Raise (Public Sale) | 10% | 100 | 20% | Linear vesting over 6 months |
| Market Maker Reserve | 3% | 30 | 100% (lent) | 12-month lending period, clawback-enabled |
\* Airdrop recipients with large allocations may be subject to short-term vesting to reduce volatility.
#### Airdrop Holder Alignment Philosophy
Many protocols automatically normalize or penalize large airdrop holders through forced vesting, hard cliffs, or redistribution mechanisms that remove agency from recipients.
NOYA deliberately chose a different approach.
Rather than enforcing mandatory normalization, **NOYA gives large airdrop holders a choice**:
* They may follow a standard vesting path and receive their full allocation over time.
* Or they may opt for early liquidity by paying a penalty.
Penalties paid by holders who choose early liquidity are redirected toward **staking incentives**, directly benefiting long-term aligned participants.
This structure preserves fairness, respects holder agency, and ensures that short-term decisions strengthen the ecosystem for those who commit early and stake.

#### Supply Discipline and Value Accrual
NOYA’s tokenomics are designed to align **protocol usage with token value**.
Revenue generated across all NOYA products, including intelligence, execution, vaults, and prediction markets, may be used to:
* Buy back NOYA tokens from the open market
* Permanently remove repurchased tokens from circulation
This creates a feedback loop between platform adoption and token scarcity, while maintaining transparent and predictable supply dynamics.
