# Ecosystem tokenomics

## What is the AITA Token?

AITA is the native token of the AI Trading Platform. It serves as the core utility and governance token, allowing users to engage in various trading activities, stake tokens, and participate in AI-powered investment strategies. The tokenomics and functionality of AITA are designed to maximize efficiency, security, and cross-chain compatibility.

The AITA token is an ERC-20 utility token built on Ethereum with a maximum supply of 3,000,000,000 tokens.

The token generation event took place in April 2023, with 67.5% made available. Of this amount, 2.5% was placed into the liquidity pool.

The token release schedule, as you can see above is split into three distinct phases:&#x20;

* Public launch 65% - the tokens available on the market for anyone to acquire.&#x20;
* LST Liquidity Rewards 25% - these are tokens used to reward LST holders. These will not be released until 12 months after the LSTs have launched.&#x20;
* Protocol Liquidity 10% - we have reserved 10% of the total token supply to facilitate market making, liquidity bonding, and ensuring proper liquidity provider incentivization. It also ensures anyone can exit their position as and when they need to.&#x20;
