Tokenomics basics every new creator should decide before minting
Supply, distribution, allocation and incentives - the four decisions that shape your token's entire future.
Supply
Fixed and fully minted at creation is the trust standard. Huge supplies look cheap but behave poorly; modest supplies with real distribution perform better than billion-unit ghost tokens.
Distribution
Decide publicly: what % goes to liquidity, community rewards, team. Write it down before launch and stick to it - buyers check declarations against reality.
Incentives
Why would anyone hold? Rewards, utility access or pure community culture are all valid - but pick one primary driver instead of promising everything.
FAQ
What allocation should the team keep?
Under 10% is the norm; above that, announce it and expect scrutiny.
Can tokenomics change later?
Supply can't (renounced). Distribution promises can only be kept - or broken publicly.
