# $OPX Tokenomics

## **$OPX**

OpenX protocol serves as an incentive mechanism to encourage users to contribute to the growth of the OpenX protocol and community. 

Token Supply: The total supply of $OPX tokens is initially set at 100 million tokens.

80% of the mined $OPX tokens will be allocated to invitation rewards and mining from contract trading referrals. Users who contribute more to the protocol will receive more $OPX rewards allocated by block. 

When the invitee chooses to stake their $OPX, the inviter can obtain $OPX consumed by the user to increase their staking reward. 

50% of the $OPX will be minted immediately, and the remaining 50% will be released by blocks over the next 100 days. 

The mining output of $OPX used for contract trading referral will be determined by the DAO voting mechanism after the launch of perpetual contract trading
