# Tokenomics

## Distribution

The distribution of tokens in a Web3 project is crucial for ensuring a fair and balanced ecosystem. Four Token distribution is designed to allocate tokens to various actors within the ecosystem, including the project’s team, developers, partners, and community members. This allocation ensures that all parties involved in the project’s development and growth have a vested interest in its success. 

| \*\*\*\*              | Private Round     | Community Distribution | Development Fund         | Team              | Marketing  | DEX Liquidity | Total           |
| --------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------- | ---------- | ------------- | --------------- |
| **Token Allocation**  | 60.000.000        | 100.000.000            | 100.000.000              | 60.000.000        | 50.000.000 | 30.000.000    | **400.000.000** |
| **% of Total Supply** | 15                | 25                     | 25                       | 15                | 12.5       | 7.5           | **100**         |

## Supply

The total supply of Four Tokens is also an important aspect of its tokenomics. A well-defined token supply ensures that the token’s value remains stable and predictable over time. $FOUR’s supply is capped, meaning there is a fixed number of tokens (i.e. 400.000.000) that will ever be created, ensuring the token's deflationary nature and scarcity. 

| \*\*\*\*          | Total Supply | Circulating Supply | DEX Liquidity | Actual Supply   |
| ----------------- | ------------ | ------------------ | ------------- | --------------- |
| Nr. of Tokens     | 400.000.000  | 206,684,115        | 30.700.000    | **175.984.000** |
| % of Total Supply | 100          | 51                 | 7.5           | 44              |

\*\**Numbers are close approximations, the circulating supply was sourced from CoinGecko on August 1st, 2023.* *Actual supply is a deduction of DEX liquidity from circulating supply.*

## Utility

Four Token is a technical and incentive component dedicated to; (1) RTA (i.e. right-to-access), and; (2) MTO (i.e. multiple-transfer option) models in the ecosystem of Web3 communication. Besides technical features, the Four Token acts as an incentive mechanism enabling the Grants model.

### Main Utility Features;

RTA (i.e. right-to-access); holding $FOUR will enable;

* Access to 4P Super Pro dApp Features;
* Access to $FOUR Governance Signalling;
* Access to a gated Discord community of developers and project core supporters.

MTO (i.e. multiple-transfer option); as a part of the `[Four]` token smart contract, the option acts as a settlement service that conserves blockchain network transactions and bundles signed multiple transactions together, and settles them on the blockchain as one transaction. The MTO is ideal for multiple token transfers such as airdrops.

**RTA** or right to access is in the concept stage and will be developed as the project progresses!
