# Token economics

> Fixed supply, allocations, reserves, and lifecycle state.

## Per-token immutable structure

| Allocation                 |        Tokens | Share of supply | Initial holder                            |
| -------------------------- | ------------: | --------------: | ----------------------------------------- |
| Bonding-curve distribution |   800,000,000 |             80% | Per-token curve                           |
| Graduation liquidity       |   200,000,000 |             20% | Per-token curve until terminal settlement |
| Total                      | 1,000,000,000 |            100% | Minted once during initialization         |

The token has 18 decimals. `ZonkTokenV3.initialize` mints the entire fixed supply to the curve. The creator receives no direct token allocation from factory creation. An optional dev buy is a separate market buy from the curve.

## Before graduation

* Buyers receive tokens from the 800M curve allocation.
* Net buy principal increases the active ETH reserve.
* Sellers return tokens to the curve and receive ETH from active reserve, minus the trading fee.
* Forced or accidental ETH is excluded from quote and spot-price accounting as unaccounted ETH.

## At graduation

The curve must have sold exactly 800M tokens and accumulated exactly 3 ETH of net active reserve. The remaining 200M tokens and the 3 ETH are forwarded atomically for Uniswap V3 settlement. Active curve trading closes.

## After graduation

Market state belongs to the external token/WETH Uniswap V3 pool. The permanent custodian holds the full-range LP NFT; a separate residual escrow permanently accounts for the small token or WETH amount left by exact integer liquidity minting.

<Note>
  Supply and protocol constants are global parameters. Price, holders, traded volume, reserve progress, and graduation state are live per-token values.
