# Tokenomics

The allocation framework of the CAN token is structurally engineered to guarantee long-term economic neutrality, preserve execution neutrality, and sustain the protocol's localized ecosystem reserves. By anchoring the network to a strict programmatic distribution, the supply model ensures decentralized capital efficiency across all core network pillars.

## Initial Token Offering

To ensure long-term ecosystem stability and adequate capitalization, 30% of the total CAN supply (300,000,000 tokens) is allocated to strategic and public funding rounds. The pricing structure is designed to reward early conviction while targeting a total capital raise of \~$12,600,000 USD.

## Global Supply Distribution

The total supply of CAN is programmatically distributed across core network pillars to incentivize liquidity depth, sustain the Protection Pool, and fund decentralized AI computational resources. The Protection Pool is the protocol reserve allocated to support eligible platform protection mechanisms, stability functions, and related risk-management obligations described elsewhere in the ecosystem.
