# Tokenomics

## Max Supply: 80,000 $AUTO

Autofarm started with no pre-farm nor pre-sale. $AUTO are minted linearly starting from 15 December 2020 and will end approximately during October 2021 (0.008 $AUTO/ block: *which is approximately 230.4 $AUTO daily*).

To ensure fair distribution of $AUTO, only vault users (non-turbo vaults) will be able to mine $AUTO tokens in addition to the yields from auto-compounding vaults. A remark regarding the total supply shown in BSCscan can be found [here](#undefined).

## Details:

**Deflationary Tokenomics:** Vault fees (1.5 - 3.0%) on vault users' profits are used to perform market buy-backs and these $AUTO are burnt out of supply forever [here](https://bscscan.com/token/0xa184088a740c695e156f91f5cc086a06bb78b827?a=0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead).

**Utility:** 

* Receive fees from cross-chain vaults
* Receive fees from DEX aggregator
* Governance

The team has locked away 1,388 $AUTO tokens (from the first 1.5 months of emissions) for 6 months [here](https://bscscan.com/address/0x4a712a0c8fd6b75aa5afbc2b06b4f33126549451#code).

We understand the 80,638.189325 [$AUTO](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24AUTO\&src=cashtag_click) tokens that are currently reflected on[@bscscan](https://twitter.com/bscscan). This was due to a misallocation of [$AUTO](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24AUTO\&src=cashtag_click) rewards to a particular vault that allowed for [$AUTO](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24AUTO\&src=cashtag_click) to be minted (this happened whilst [$AUTO](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24AUTO\&src=cashtag_click) was still <80k).

However, further minting of [$AUTO](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24AUTO\&src=cashtag_click) tokens would no longer be possible since the current total supply is already >80k & the minter has already been burnt from the get go.

To reduce the total supply to the promised 80k, the treasury has burned the corresponding 638.189325 [$AUTO](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24AUTO\&src=cashtag_click) surplus tokens:
