Tokenomics Summary
This Tokenomics summary is an outcome of over a year of development surrounding the design of the optimal token economy. Goracle made use of full time mathematicians, statisticians and also worked with several third party tokenomics consultants and auditors to develop a comprehensive economic design. In order to fund the project initially, a reasonable amount of tokens was dedicated to investors while ensuring that the percentage of supply remains as low as possible. Vesting schedules are implemented to protect the value of the GORA token and allocation of tokens are ecosystem and participant biased. The token has utility on both sides of the ecosystem; node runners and validators stake to earn rewards while consumers use the token to pay for data. The primary design will ensure that the community will be the majority holders, and whale holdings are limited.

The total supply of $GORA is 100M tokens, and will be distributed across 13 sub areas:
Token distribution
Token Allocation | Percentage of Allocation | Number of Tokens | Vesting Period | TGE Release |

Ecosystem Rewards | 45% | 45,000,000 | Locked until network launch - distributed as per network activity | |
Treasury/Liquidity reserve | 12% | 12,000,000 | 12 month lock up, then 8% per month. 100% locked in Treasury as reserve & automated liquidity pairing. | |

Marketing and Partnerships | 6% | 6,000,000 | 3 month lock up, then 15% per month | |
Adoption Incentives | 2% | 2,000,000 | 3 month cliff Distributed to node runners over 2 years | |

Seed Round | 6.67% | 6,666,667 | 12 month cliff, daily unlock over 12 months | |
Strategic sale | 3.33% | 3,333,333 | 12 months cliff, daily unlock over 12 months | 10% |
Whitelist Round | 2.35% | 2,350,000 | 12.5% TGE, daily linear over 8 months (may be used to run nodes to accumulate rewards). | 12.5% |
Node Sale Round | 1.4% | 1,400,000 | 15% TGE, daily linear over 6 months (Note: These tokens must be used to run nodes, and rewards will accumulate) | 15% |
Public Round | 0.65% | 650,000 | 20% TGE, daily linear over 4 months | 20% |

Release schedule
The GORA token allows holders to:
- Stake and become Node runners and Validators.
- A consequence of this is to be eligible for rewards paid out by Goracle and Consumers.
- Consumers can pay for data/computation.
- Token holders can vote on issues such as fees (i.e. Governance).
- Accrue value as Goracle grows.
- Rewards are a pool of 10,000,000 tokens which will be handed out on a monthly basis via programmed rules.
- Those with a higher number of successful requests will receive a larger share of the monthly pool of rewards.
- Rewards pool increases month-on-month instead of declining exponentially which will help incentivise long term participation and new joiners every month.
- Adoption incentives are an extra pool of 2,000,000 tokens designed to attract early adopters with guaranteed 3 month APY for new joiners.
- APY will vary depending on the month joined.
- 20% for the first 6 month, 15% for the next 6 month and 10% for the subsequent 6 months.
