# Tokenomics

> Complete guide to ORB token economics

ORB Supply has a **total supply of 1 billion tokens** with a controlled emission mechanism.

## Supply Structure

### Total Supply

**1,000,000,000 ORB** is the total supply:

* **Hard cap**: Cannot be exceeded
* **Smart contract enforced**: Built into the protocol
* **Immutable**: Cannot be changed after deployment

### Initial Distribution

**30% of total supply (300,000,000 ORB)** was purchased by the team during the Four Meme launch via dev buy and placed in a verified proxy contract.

<Info>
  The proxy contract is verified on BNB Chain explorer and implements rate-limited transfers to ensure controlled distribution.
</Info>

## Emissions

### Emission Rate

**3000 ORB per epoch** can be minted (taken from the proxy contract):

* **Per round**: Up to 2500 ORB (distributed to winners as bonuses)
* **Per round**: 500 ORB (added to Orbload pool)
* **Per minute**: Up to 3000 ORB (60-second rounds)
* **Per day**: Up to 4,320,000 ORB
* **Per year**: Up to 1,576,800,000 ORB

<Info>
  Total emissions per epoch are 3000 ORB: 2500 ORB distributed to miners as bonuses and 500 ORB added to the Orbload pool. The actual bonus distribution depends on round outcomes (single winner vs. split distribution), but up to 2500 ORB can be distributed per round from the proxy contract.
</Info>

### Distribution Methods

ORB is distributed in two ways:

**Method 1: Single Winner (+2500 ORB)**

* One miner receives +2500 ORB

**Method 2: Split Among Winners**

* ORB split proportionally among all winners

<Info>
  The protocol uses a 50/50 chance to decide between these two methods each round. Up to 2500 ORB total can be distributed per round.
</Info>

### Emission Schedule

Emissions happen continuously every 60 seconds. Up to 3000 ORB can be distributed per round from the proxy contract (2500 ORB to miners + 500 ORB to Orbload), with a maximum rate limit enforced by the contract.

## Deflationary Mechanics

### Protocol Revenue & Buybacks

10% of all BNB mining rewards are collected as protocol revenue and used to automatically purchase ORB from the market:

```
Protocol Revenue = BNB Mining Rewards × 0.10
ORB Purchased = Protocol Revenue / ORB Price
```

### Burying Mechanism

90% of purchased ORB is buried (removed from circulation):

```
Buried ORB = Purchased ORB × 0.90
Circulating Supply Reduction = Buried ORB
```

<Info>
  Burying removes tokens from circulation, creating deflationary pressure. Unlike burning, buried tokens can potentially be mined again.
</Info>

### Net Supply Change

```
Net Supply Change = Mining Emissions - Burying Amount
```

**If burying > emissions:**

* **Net deflation**: Circulating supply decreases
* **Positive for holders**: Scarcity increases

**If burying \< emissions:**

* **Net inflation**: Circulating supply increases
* **Still offset**: Some deflationary pressure

<Warning>
  Actual deflation depends on many factors: protocol activity, ORB price, total rewards, etc.
  Deflation is not guaranteed—it depends on protocol revenue exceeding emission rates.
</Warning>

| **Buried**            | 90% of buyback ORB                                       |

***

ORB Supply's supply model balances controlled emissions from the proxy contract with buyback deflation, creating a flexible system that adapts to protocol activity.
