# $KIX Tokenomics

Understanding tokenomics — the economic structure of a token — is important for anyone who wants to understand what they are holding. This section explains KiX's token structure in plain English.

## Verifiable On-Chain

$KIX is deployed on **Chiliz Chain**. The $KIX contract is publicly verifiable at [chiliscan.com](https://chiliscan.com/token/0xDAc675FA6cf5aA1b9EA2a008e55f34C4761Cce3A).

**Contract address:** `0xDAc675FA6cf5aA1b9EA2a008e55f34C4761Cce3A` (Chiliz Chain)

Anyone can independently verify total supply, holder distribution, and every transaction against this contract at any time.

## Total Maximum Supply

The absolute maximum number of $KIX tokens that will ever exist is **650,000,000** (650 million). This cap cannot be changed without the highest level of governance approval.

## Two Allocation Pools

The 650 million tokens are divided into two distinct pools:

### Pool 1: On-Demand Pool — 400,000,000 $KIX

These 400 million tokens are not pre-issued. They do not exist yet. They come into existence only when a user acquires $KIX through the platform's designated issuance mechanism.

Think of it like a vending machine that creates the item when you put money in — rather than stocking a warehouse full of items and hoping people come to buy them. On-demand issuance means:

* There is no oversupply of tokens sitting idle
* Supply grows in direct proportion to demand
* There is no inflation from unsold tokens sitting in a wallet somewhere

This is one of the most user-aligned token issuance models available. Supply and demand are genuinely connected.

### Pool 2: Vested Emissions — 250,000,000 $KIX

These 250 million tokens are allocated to specific purposes and released over time according to a vesting schedule. The recipients include:

* The founding team
* Advisors and early contributors
* The KiX Treasury
* The Rewards Allocation (for supplementing Game Group rewards)
* Ecosystem development (partnerships, integrations, growth)
* Early backers

Vesting means these tokens are not available immediately. They unlock over a schedule that has been reviewed and approved by the founding team. Vesting prevents any single party from receiving a large allocation and immediately selling it — protecting the market from sudden supply shocks.

All vesting schedules are publicly disclosed and verifiable on-chain via [chiliscan.com](https://chiliscan.com/token/0xDAc675FA6cf5aA1b9EA2a008e55f34C4761Cce3A).

## Treasury Tokens

The treasury's share of the vested emissions can be used for rewards, partnerships, and ecosystem development. But — and this is important — every deployment of treasury tokens requires a DAO vote. No individual, not even the founding team, can unilaterally move treasury vested funds.

## Commission Flow

$KIX purchases made through any future in-platform mechanism would generate a commission that accumulates in the treasury (see [Fees & Commissions](/kix/usdkix-the-platform-token/kix-token/fees-and-commissions.md)). At launch, all $KIX acquisition happens externally on Kayen Finance and CoinTR, so no in-platform purchase commission applies.
