# PGX Tokenomics

**PGX** is the native token of PrigeeX. This page explains what it is, how many exist, and
how it captures value, in plain language.

## What PGX is for

1. **Revenue sharing (staking).** Live today: stake PGX to earn a share of the platform's
   trading revenue. See [Stake PGX](../guides/stake-pgx).
2. **Governance.** Coming soon: PGX is built as a governance token, and on-chain voting on
   the protocol's direction will roll out in a later phase.

## Supply: fixed and transparent

* **Total supply: 1,000,000,000 PGX** (one billion), fixed at launch.
* **No inflation, ever.** There is no function anywhere in the token to create new PGX. The
  entire supply was minted once, at deployment, to the project treasury.
* **The supply can only ever go down**, never up (tokens can be burned, but never created).

This matters: because staking rewards come from **real revenue** rather than newly printed
tokens, staking does **not** dilute holders. Your share of the total isn't eroded by
inflation the way it is in many other token models.

<Note>
  **Why fixed supply matters for trust.** A token that can be minted at will is only as
  trustworthy as whoever controls the mint. PGX removes that risk entirely: the supply is
  immutable and publicly verifiable on Arbiscan. See
  [Contract Addresses](../reference/contract-addresses).
</Note>

## How PGX captures value: the revenue loop

This is the heart of the model. Value flows in a loop tied to real usage:

1. **Trading happens.** Users swap on PrigeeX and pay trading fees.
2. **The platform collects a share** of those fees as protocol revenue.
3. **Revenue is converted to PGX** and distributed:
   * **70% → PGX stakers**
   * **30% → the PrigeeX treasury** (to fund ongoing development and operations)
4. **Stakers earn**, which rewards holding and staking PGX.

The more PrigeeX is used, the more revenue flows to PGX stakers. PGX's value is therefore
linked to the platform's actual trading activity, not just to market speculation.

## Allocation

The full supply was minted to the treasury at launch. Distribution across categories such
as team, investors, ecosystem, and community incentives is handled by transferring from
the treasury into dedicated vesting and distribution arrangements over time. (Specific
allocation figures and vesting schedules are published separately by the PrigeeX team.)

## In short

* **1 billion PGX**, fixed forever, no inflation.
* **Earns real revenue**, not printed tokens: 70% of protocol revenue goes to stakers.
* **Governance-ready**: holders can help steer the protocol over time.
* **Fully transparent**: verifiable on-chain.
