# Token Security and Distribution

The ERC-20 token ACRE has a fixed supply of 1000,000,000. The ACRE token contract had its administration access disabled and as such does not allow any further minting or burning of the token.

Arable Protocol released 100 million tokens (10% of total supply) at genesis with 40 million airdropped and 60 million are held and locked up as a strategic reserve. Arable Protocol uses a ‘’thirding’’ model, where each year following the first year, the token’s release amount will be 1/3 less. In the first year, 300 million tokens are released, in the second year 200 million and so forth.

Newly released tokens will be distributed as follows:

- Liquidity Mining Incentives 45%
- Staking Rewards 25%
- Developer Vesting 25%
- Community Pool 5%

# Project

Arable Protocol is launching synthetic farming as part of our MVP launch on Avalanche on the 29th of June. Our goal is to make multi-chain farming simple, economical, and available to all. With a simple yet powerful user interface, both experienced and new farmers can effortlessly stake yield farms from various chains. Arable Protocol is based around a synthetic ecosystem and its liquidity is created through the minting of the stable asset arUSD. Utilizing arUSD, users can swap between a variety of synthetic cryptocurrencies and LP tokens and farm on synthetic yield farms that track the APR of their native chain counterparts.

Avalanche is our first home, but we’ll quickly expand to other networks and join Cosmos with our own blockchain solution.

# Token Utility

The ACRE token is currently a governance token for Arable Protocol and can be further utilized as such:

- collateral for [minting arUSD](https://medium.com/@ArableProtocol/today-we-will-have-a-closer-look-at-the-role-of-minters-at-arable-35e2c39a0c87) (as part of MVP launch)
- delegating to our [validators](https://app.arable.finance/#/validators)
- single-sided [staking](https://app.arable.finance/#/staking/0x4bc722Cd3F7b29ae3A5e0a17a61b72Ea5020502B0x0)
- LP liquidity mining ([here](https://app.arable.finance/#/pool/0x598EBAC38cF211749b1277c9a34d217226A476Af0x0) and [here](https://app.arable.finance/#/pool/0x598EBAC38cF211749b1277c9a34d217226A476Af0x02))

If external IL protection = trading liquidity

Then I will always vote yet
