Tokenomics
Initial Distribution
GIGA has a fixed supply of 1B tokens, fully minted at genesis. There is no additional inflation; all future distributions come from the existing genesis supply.
The GIGA token is not live at launch. The protocol begins with a points phase before GIGA activation (GIGA Genesis).
At genesis, supply is allocated across liquidity incentives, treasury, protocol-owned veGIGA (GIGA Machine), launch partners, investors, and community distribution. The focus is on sustainability.

The LP Emissions Reserve vests over three years and is distributed by the protocol’s emissions controller. See Emissions. 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 backs the points program.
At launch, at most 5.5% of total supply (55M GIGA) is liquid: the Fair Launch Auction, LP Support, and Points allocations.
