# Tokenomics

## Distribution

#### 1,000,000,000,000 Total Supply

* **74.5%** (745,000,000,000) allocated to [METASHIP Rewards](/metal-1/distribution-tokenomics.md#metaship-rewards)
  * Immutable mint limit, contract ownership keys burned

* **20%** (200,000,000,000) allocated to [Liquidity Provider Incentives](/metal-1/distribution-tokenomics.md#liquidity-provider-incentives)
  * Locked in [GYSR](https://app.gysr.io/geyser/0x4fd8e5604f0071c10a126ef976d07e48f246b702), keys burned

* **0.5%** (5,000,000,000) allocated as [Initial Liquidity](/metal-1/distribution-tokenomics.md#initial-liquidity)

  * Locked in Sushiswap LP, keys burned

* **0% accessible by developers**
  * **This is a "fair" pro-chaos launch.**

## METASHIP Rewards

Every block (13.3s), METAL is distributed (made available to collect) to every METASHIP in existence. The amount of METAL distributed per ship scales based on (1) individual ship [attributes](/metaships/attributes.md) and (2) the weekly multiplier.

"Pending" METAL is then stored on each individual ship and will stay with it in the event of an ERC721 token transfer.

### Weekly Multipliers

Weeks are defined as groups of 45,473 Ethereum blocks, starting at the GENESIS\_BLOCK of the METASHIP contract. Weekly multiplier applies to the base metal generated by each METASHIP for that week.

**Important to note, any METASHIPS with pending METAL at the end of a week (when the multiplier changes) will have their pending METAL SLASHED.** As such, it is important to collect your METAL at least once a week.

* Week 1 = 16x
* Week 2 = 10x
* Week 3 = 8x
* Week 4 = 5x
* Week 5 = 4x
* Week 6 = 3x
* Week 7-8 = 2x
* Week 9+ = 1x 

## Liquidity Provider Incentives

To encourage deep METAL liquidity, 200,000,000,000 METAL will be distributed over 32 weeks via [gysr.io ](https://app.gysr.io/geyser/0x4fd8e5604f0071c10a126ef976d07e48f246b702)to those providing liquidity on the following pairs:

* [SUSHISWAP ETH/METAL](https://app.sushi.com/add/0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2/0xe1ab817b1eda1b05785b731060658885c91acd89)

## Initial Liquidity

This METAL will be locked into the ETH/METAL LP pair on SUSHISWAP and the controlling wallet's keys will be permanently burned.

The starting price of METAL will be **$0.0000002**

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.metaships.io/metal-1/distribution-tokenomics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
