# Tokenomics

The DCI platform is powered by the **$DCI token**, a native utility token that plays a crucial role in the ecosystem. The tokenomics of $DCI are designed to incentivize long-term holding, support platform development, and deflationary mechanism to enhance project’s longevity and health.

**Token Distribution:**

* Total Supply: 10,000,000 $DCI

* DEX LP (Uniswap): 84%
* CEX: 8%
* Advisors and Partnership: 8%

**Taxation:**

To ensure sustainable development and long-term growth, the DCI platform implements a buy and sell tax on all $DCI transactions.

* Buy Tax: 5%
* Sell Tax: 5%

**80%** of the tax will go toward marketing, development, and project growth.

**20%** goes back to all holders in the form of reflections. Incentivizing holding without tediousness of staking that can lead to a host of issues.

**Deflationary Mechanic:**

DCI is committed to gradual and sustained growth. 95% of the profits generated from the platform's fee will go directly toward a “Buyback & Burn” framework. DCI’s pursuit for a deflationary mechanic through a real yield attestation will ensure a continual balance and health of the project. The remaining 5% will go toward development of the platforms.

**Token Utility:**

* Project Deployment: Users can use $DCI to deploy projects on the DCI platform, incentivizing the use of the platform and its native token.
* Governance: $DCI holders will have the ability to participate in platform governance, shaping its future direction and development.
