# Tokenomics

SLD has a fixed total supply of **1,000,000,000 SLD**.

The tokenomics of Sealed are designed to support long-term ecosystem growth, community participation, investor alignment, team execution, DAO governance, liquidity, and future strategic needs. The allocation is divided into several main groups, each with its own purpose and vesting schedule.The goal of this structure is to avoid excessive early unlocks, reward real users and builders, support long-term development, and give the DAO a meaningful role in the future of the ecosystem.

### Total supply

The total supply of SLD is fixed at:

**1,000,000,000 SLD**

The allocation is divided into the following main categories:

| Category             | Allocation | Tokens                |
| -------------------- | ---------- | --------------------- |
| Community & Airdrops | 30%        | 300,000,000 SLD       |
| Investors            | 20%        | 200,000,000 SLD       |
| Team                 | 15%        | 150,000,000 SLD       |
| DAO                  | 20%        | 200,000,000 SLD       |
| Reserve              | 10%        | 100,000,000 SLD       |
| Liquidity            | 5%         | 50,000,000 SLD        |
| **Total**            | **100%**   | **1,000,000,000 SLD** |

### Launch valuation

The planned initial TGE price for SLD in the first liquidity pool is **$0.025 per token**.

With a fixed total supply of **1,000,000,000 SLD**, this implies a total fully diluted valuation of:

**$25,000,000**

The planned initial DEX liquidity is:

**$700,000**

This initial liquidity is intended to support early market creation and trading after TGE.

### Community & Airdrops

This category is designed to reward early users, active community members, builders, contributors, and real product usage.

### Tokenomics summary

SLD tokenomics are built around a fixed supply of **1 billion tokens** and a planned TGE price of **$0.025 per SLD**, implying a fully diluted valuation of **$25 million**. The largest allocation is dedicated to community and airdrops, followed by DAO treasury, investors, team, reserve, and liquidity.

The structure is designed to balance several goals: rewarding real users, supporting ecosystem growth, aligning investors and the team through vesting, giving the DAO meaningful resources, and providing liquidity for the market.
