Tokenomics
Every GIGA that will ever exist was minted at genesis. No contract can mint more, and no future distribution creates new supply: emissions, rewards, and incentives all draw down the same fixed 1B. See Governance & Access Control.
The Bull Thesis
- Supply only tightens. Protocol revenue flows to veGIGA stakers and to the GIGA Machine, which turns its share into permanently locked GIGA. Nothing in the model adds supply. Several parts of it remove supply from circulation.
- Emissions are finite. The only ongoing distribution of GIGA is the LP Emissions Reserve: a fixed 400M, vesting over three years, spent only on pools that generate revenue. When it is spent, it is gone. See Emissions.
- Conviction is locked. Most of the genesis allocation is held as veGIGA: locked for six months, renewed to keep earning, and staked to earn protocol revenue. See veGIGA.
- Revenue is the signal. Emissions follow fees, so GIGA reaches the liquidity that Robinhood Chain traders actually use.
Allocation
The only ongoing distribution of GIGA. A finite basket that vests over three years and is spent only on pools that generate revenue. When it is gone, there are no more emissions. How emissions work
| Allocation | Share | Amount | Form |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP Emissions Reserve | 40% | 400M | GIGA |
| Treasury | 20% | 200M | veGIGA |
| veGIGA Machine | 19% | 190M | veGIGA |
| ROOT | 7.5% | 75M | veGIGA |
| Launch Partner | 7% | 70M | veGIGA |
| Fair Launch Auction | 2% | 20M | GIGA/veGIGA |
| LP Support | 2% | 20M | GIGA/veGIGA |
| Points | 1.5% | 15M | GIGA |
| Community Airdrop | 1% | 10M | veGIGA |
| Total | 100% | 1B |
The LP Emissions Reserve vests over three years and is distributed by the protocol’s emissions controller. The GIGA Machine allocation is locked as protocol-owned veGIGA at genesis. The Treasury allocation is held as veGIGA, so it is locked and earning rather than sitting as sellable supply. The Points allocation rewarded the pre-Genesis points campaign.
At launch, at most 5.5% of total supply (55M GIGA) was liquid: the Fair Launch Auction, LP Support, and Points allocations.
On-Chain
GIGA is an ERC-20 on Robinhood Chain: 0x5BaaeC1B70864f01dbdb747358FF59F2E2cCF7D5. Locked positions are veGIGA, an ERC-721: 0x307Cb092543dA544f5381f66ac13aA84ca4C26E8. Every protocol contract is listed on Contracts.
