At CAGA, we’ve always believed that a project’s longevity hinges on its economic design. That’s why we built our tokenomics from the ground up to prioritize fairness, scarcity, and community empowerment. With a fixed supply of 100 billion CAGA tokens and deflationary mechanisms to ensure long-term value, we’re redefining what sustainable crypto economics looks like. Let’s break down how our model works—and why it’s designed to reward you, not speculators.
The Problem: Inflationary Tokens = Diluted Value
Most cryptocurrencies suffer from two critical flaws:
- Unlimited Supply: Tokens like Dogecoin or ETH (pre-EIP-1559) have no hard cap, risking perpetual inflation.
- Pump-and-Dump Dynamics: Early whales dump tokens, leaving retail holders with depreciating assets.
We refused to repeat these mistakes.
Our Solution: Fixed Supply + Deflation = True Scarcity
CAGA’s tokenomics are engineered to create controlled scarcity while funding ecosystem growth:
1. Fixed Supply of 100B Tokens
- No Minting, Ever: The total and max supply is capped at 100B CAGA.
- Circulating Supply: 61.49B CAGA (61.49%) as of July 2024.
2. Strategic Distribution
| Allocation | Tokens | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Liquidity & Listings | 87B (87%) | DEX/CEX liquidity to ensure smooth trading. |
| Emission (3 years) | 6B (6%) | Staking rewards, developer grants. |
| Treasury | 5B (5%) | Ecosystem growth, partnerships, audits. |
| Governance | 2B (2%) | Community voting incentives. |
3. Deflationary Mechanics
- Transaction Burns: 0.5% of every CAGA transaction is burned.
- Staking Rewards: 50% of staking fees are burned (vs. redistributed).
- Buybacks: 25% of DEX fees fund quarterly buybacks (tokens burned).
Example: If $1M in trades occurs on CAGA DEX in a day:
- Fees Collected: 1M×0.3 = 3,000.
- Burn: 3,000×253,000×25750 used to buy back and burn ~750,000 CAGA (at $0.001/token).
Why Our Model Works
1. Early Investors ≠ Whales
- Liquidity Locked: 87% of tokens are allocated to exchanges, not private sales.
- Vesting: Team/advisor tokens (if any) are vested over 5 years to prevent dumping.
2. Community-Driven Scarcity
- You Control Burns: More transactions = more burns. Daily burns currently average 380M CAGA (~$380,000).
- Staking = Passive Burns: The more you stake, the more fees are burned.
3. Sustainable Growth
- Treasury Funds Builders: Our $50M treasury funds grants, audits, and partnerships (e.g., Chainlink, Illuvium).
- Emission Rewards Participation: New tokens are released only to stakers and developers—not VCs.
CAGA vs. Other Token Models
| Metric | CAGA | Ethereum | BNB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max Supply | 100B (fixed) | ∞ (no cap) | 200M (deflationary) |
| Inflation Rate | -2.5% (net deflation) | ~0.5% (post-merge) | -3.7% (annual burn) |
| Community Control | DAO governance | Developer-led | Centralized (Binance) |
Real-World Impact: The Numbers Speak
- Total Burned (2024 YTD): 42B CAGA ($42M).
- Projected Circulating Supply (2030): ~50B CAGA (50% burned).
- Holder Growth: 6,605 holders (Jan 2024) → 22,000+ (July 2024).
Partnerships Fueling Scarcity
- Binance: Liquidity support for CAGA/USDT pairs, enhancing burn rates.
- Chainlink: Secure oracle feeds for transparent burn calculations.
- CertiK: Auditing burns and emissions to ensure compliance.
FAQ
Q: Will burning make CAGA too scarce?
A: No. With 100B initial supply, even burning 50% leaves 50B tokens—enough for global adoption.
Q: How do I benefit from deflation?
A: As supply decreases and demand grows, your holdings gain value. Plus, staking earns you more CAGA.
Q: Can the tokenomics change?
A: Only via DAO vote. We’ve locked the 100B cap in immutable contracts.
Join the Deflation Revolution
We didn’t create CAGA for quick gains—we built it to reward patience, participation, and belief in a decentralized future. Every transaction, stake, and vote you make tightens supply and strengthens the ecosystem.
