# Tokenomics and Vesting

* Allocation: The total token supply is fixed. Approximately 40% is allocated to community incentives and liquidity mining to ensure broad distribution. About 30% goes to the founding team and advisors, subject to vesting. Around 20% is allocated to strategic investors, with a small percentage (\~5%) reserved for initial liquidity and partnerships. The remaining \~5% is held in the treasury for future operations.
* Vesting Schedule: Team and advisors’ tokens vest over 4 years with a 1-year cliff, following industry best practices. Investors have shorter locks, typically 2-year vesting. This long-term vesting aligns commitments with the network’s success.

Utility: The Stratos token can be used for governance (voting on strategies, parameters), for staking to secure oracle/data services, and as a medium for fee rebates. Holding tokens also grants priority access to new vault features and early product betas.
