# Tokenomics

**Total Supply**

* 1,000,000,000 $LOOP max—fixed and never mintable beyond this cap

**Official contract addresses:**

LOOP: [0x00fDBc53719604D924226215bc871D55e40a1009](https://purrsec.com/address/0x00fdbc53719604d924226215bc871d55e40a1009)

### Milestone-Based Vesting

Instead of traditional time-based unlocks, $LOOP uses a **TVL milestone-based vesting mechanism**: tokens unlock only when protocol TVL hits defined targets. This ties dilution directly to performance and growth.

### Unlock Schedule (Phases 1–6)

| Phase | TVL Target | Collective Fund (10 %) | Launch Partners (20 %) | Early Adopter (45 %) |
| :---: | :--------: | :--------------------: | :--------------------: | :------------------: |
|   1   |    $ 5 M   |        20M (2%)        |        40M (4%)        |       50M (5%)       |
|   2   |   $ 50 M   |        20M (2%)        |        20M (2%)        |       60M (6%)       |
|   3   |   $ 100 M  |        20M (2%)        |        40M (4%)        |       70M (7%)       |
|   4   |   $ 200 M  |        20M (2%)        |        40M (4%)        |       80M (8%)       |
|   5   |   $ 500 M  |        10M (1%)        |        20M (2%)        |       90M (9%)       |
|   6   |    $ 1 B   |        10M (1%)        |        40M (4%)        |      100M (10%)      |

* **Loyalty Program (15 %)**: Phase 7 ($1 B+ TVL) onward, 1 M LOOP/week unlocks, halving annually.
* **Private Sale (7.667 %)**: 50 % at TGE, 50 % at Phase 2.
* **Liquidity (2.333 %)**: Unlocked at TGE for Hyperliquid & AMM pools.

> **Note:** From Phase 2 on, all categories follow the same TVL-based vesting.

### Ecosystem Flywheel

1. TVL ↑ → Token Unlock → Stakeholder Distribution → More Contributions → TVL ↑

This loop ensures every milestone scales incentives—fueling deeper liquidity, broader integrations and faster expansion.

***

### Staking & stLOOP

* **Stake $LOOP → mint stLOOP**
* **Boosts:** stLOOP unlocks higher airdrop multipliers across Early Adopter, Loyalty, and Loopdrops programs.
* **stLOOP Points**: We are tracking stLOOP points based on time-weighted holdings to take into consideration for future utility and governance
* **Unstaking:** 7-day cooldown for security and stability.

***

By tying unlocks to TVL, allocating most tokens to participants and creating a self-reinforcing flywheel, $LOOP’s tokenomics are built to reward true contributors and drive sustainable growth.
