# Tokenomics

## Distribution

InteNet Protocol operates with a fair and transparent token distribution model, ensuring sustainability and long-term growth. There are no VC or external investors, making the ecosystem truly decentralized and community-driven.

## Sustainable Growth Model

* **Treasury Management:** The 30% Treasury allocation ensures that protocol development, security, and expansion efforts are sustainably funded.
* **Community-Driven Incentives:** The 25% Community allocation fosters engagement, rewarding users for governance participation, liquidity provisioning, and ecosystem contributions.
* **AI Agent Incentives:** The 20% AI Incentives allocation is dedicated to supporting AI agents, reinforcing their autonomy within our ecosystem.
* **Team Vesting:** The 25% Team allocation will be linearly vested over 3 years, aligning the team's incentives with long-term protocol success.
