## Initial Supply

The initial mint will be 25% of the Total Max Supply and will be broken down as follows:

| Allocation Category | % of Max Supply | Number of Tokens |
| ------------------- | --------------- | ---------------- |
| IFO                 | 5%              | 500,000          |
| Community Airdrops  | 5%              | 500,000          |
| Team                | 5%              | 500,000          |
| Treasury            | 10%             | 1,000,000        |

### SHADE Single Stake Initial Farm Offering (IFO)

The Initial Farm Offering will use the allocated 5% of the Total Max Supply of SHADE (500,000 SHADE). This supply will be distributed to SHADE stakers over the course of 12 weeks.

### Vesting Schedule

The vesting schedule for the developer funds is as follows, as a % of the resulting net 5%:

* 10% Initial Allowance
* 22.5% after 60 days
* 22.5% after 120 days
* 22.5% after 180 days
* 22.5% after 240 days

## Remaining Supply for Emissions

After the initial mint, the remaining supply will be minted over 3 years, following our Emissions Schedule.

The emissions will be distributed as follows:

| Allocation Category | % of Max Supply Allocated | Number of Tokens After 3 Years |
| ------------------- | :-----------------------: | ------------------------------ |
| LP Farm Rewards     |            70%            | 7,000,000                      |
| Developer Funds     |             5%            | 500,000                        |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://shadecash.gitbook.io/shadecash/token/token-and-distribution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
