Discover how the carefully designed dual-token system balances immediate liquidity needs with long-term protocol sustainability. By separating liquid trading tokens (VITA) from governance tokens (xVITA), you benefit from aligned incentives across all participant types.

<Info>
  **Key Innovation**: The session-based reward system ensures you receive fair distribution based on actual participation time, not snapshot gaming.

## Token Distribution

### Total Supply: 100,000,000 VITA

| Allocation           | Amount | Purpose           |
| -------------------- | ------ | ----------------- |

## Emission Schedule

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Overview">
    **Front-Loaded Distribution**

    The emission schedule bootstraps liquidity early while maintaining long-term sustainability:

    | Period            | Emission | Percentage |
    | ----------------- | -------- | ---------- |
    | Launch (Pre-mint) | 20M VITA | 20%        |
    | Year 1            | 24M VITA | 24%        |
    | Year 2            | 20M VITA | 20%        |
    | Year 3            | 12M VITA | 12%        |
    | Year 4            | 8M VITA  | 8%         |
    | Reserve           | 16M VITA | 16%        |
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Allocation Details">
    **Liquidity Mining (60M VITA)**

    * AMM LP Rewards: 50M VITA
    * xVITA Staking: 10M VITA

    **Team Allocation (20M VITA)**

    * Cliff Period: 1 year
    * Vesting Duration: 3 years linear
    * Monthly Unlock: \~555,555 VITA
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Trading Fee Distribution

All trading fees flow through the ecosystem based on the protocol's configurable fee rates. The default 0.3% fee is distributed through protocol and community vaults.

<Note>
  AMM fees contribute to xVITA staker rewards through the protocol's fee distribution system.
</Note>

## Revenue Streams

### AMM Revenue

<Card title="AMM Trading Fees">
  • 0.3% default swap fee\
  • Consistent volume from retail\
  • Benefits from aggregators
</Card>

<Warning>
  AMM revenue contributes to protocol fees through configurable parameters.
</Warning>

## Conversion Mechanisms

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Convert: VITA → xVITA" icon="arrow-right">
    **Instant Conversion**

    | Parameter | Value                |
    | --------- | -------------------- |
    | Rate      | 1:1 conversion ratio |
    | Time      | Immediate            |
    | Result    | Locked xVITA tokens  |
    | Benefits  | Governance + rewards |

    ```
    Example: 1,000 VITA → 1,000 xVITA (instant)
    ```

    <Note>
      Use ft\_transfer\_call with `{"convert": {}}` message format
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Redeem: xVITA → VITA" icon="arrow-left">
    **Vesting Schedule**

    Choose your redemption period:

    | Period      | Return Rate                |
    | ----------- | -------------------------- |
    | 15 days     | 50% returned (50% penalty) |
    | 30-180 days | Linear increase            |
    | 180 days    | 100% returned (no penalty) |

    **Formula:**

    ```
    base (50%) + (period - 15 days) / 165 days × remaining (50%)
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Unstaking Process" icon="clock">
    **Standard Unstaking**

    | Parameter       | Value                  |

    | Cooldown        | 15 days fixed          |
    | Return          | 100% of xVITA          |
    | During cooldown | No rewards earned      |
    | Cancellable     | Yes, before completion |

    <Warning>
      Once unstaking begins, your xVITA stops earning rewards immediately.

### Governance Scope

**Protocol Parameters:**

* Fee rate adjustments

## Boosting System

### Advanced Boost Mechanics

xVITA provides sophisticated boost mechanics for farming rewards:

**xVITA Boost:** 1.0x to 2.5x multiplier

<Note>
  Boost calculation uses a complex sigmoid function based on your share of total boost tokens
</Note>

## Why This Model Works

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Sustainable Incentives" icon="seedling">
    You benefit from a model that combines:

    * Real yield from trading fees
    * Time-locked governance tokens
    * Front-loaded but decreasing emissions

    This creates a sustainable ecosystem where early participants are rewarded without destroying long-term value.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Aligned Interests" icon="handshake">
    The dual-token model aligns all participants:

    | Participant  | Benefit                        |
    | ------------ | ------------------------------ |
    | **Traders**  | Deep liquidity, low fees       |
    | **AMM LPs**  | Majority share of trading fees |
    | **Stakers**  | Real yield + governance        |
    | **Protocol** | Sustainable growth funding     |

    Everyone benefits when the protocol succeeds.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Capital Efficiency" icon="gauge">
    Session-based rewards ensure:

    * No snapshot gaming
    * Fair distribution based on time
    * Compound growth for long-term stakers
    * Flexibility for active managers

    This maximizes protocol efficiency while maintaining fairness.
