# Tokenomics

MRTR is designed under a 20 year scope. All pools - outside of the presale pool - are subject to a proportional unlock, being equal per quarter for 80 quarters (i.e. 20 years).

There are three main pools of MRTR:

* **Staking Rewards**
  * Making up 45% of the total supply, 450,000,000 tokens will be distributed as rewards to users who stake their tokens quarterly.
* **DAO Treasury**
  * Making up 50% of the total supply, 500,000,000 tokens are under control of the DAO, designated to [various sub-allocations](https://bricklayerdao-1.gitbook.io/bricklayerdao/offerings/mortar-utility-token-mrtr/tokenomics#treasury-allocations).
* **Presale Pool**
  * Representing 5% of the total supply, 50,000,000 tokens are set aside for the presale, detailed further in the [pre sale section.](https://bricklayerdao-1.gitbook.io/bricklayerdao/offerings/mortar-utility-token-mrtr/presale)

### Treasury Allocations <a href="#treasury-allocations" id="treasury-allocations"></a>

The 50% of supply controlled by the treasury is subdivided into a series of pools, defined as the following:

* **Public Liquidity Pool**
  * Comprising 25.1% of the total supply, 251,000,000 tokens will be allocated to public decentralised exchanges (DEX) and liquidity pools.
* **DAO Approval Platform & Acquisition Pool**
  * Accounting for 13.35% of the total supply, 133,500,000 tokens will be used for for such costs as DAO acquisitions and node maintenance.
* **Community Pool**
  * Comprising 7.55% of the total supply, 75,600,000 tokens will be allocated for airdrops, community incentives, and marketing rewards.
* **Development Pool**
  * Making up 4% of the total supply, 40,000,000 tokens will be used for contractor payments, bug bounties, and governance activities.

A key note is that unassigned tokens from each of the pools i.e. tokens not assigned to a process from the given sub-pool, will be burned quarterly on the emission date for the next quarter. This continuously aims to improve the supply dynamics of MRTR for holders in the ecosystem.

### Inflation <a href="#inflation" id="inflation"></a>

The inflation rate will be dynamic due to token burn mechanics, creating a bounded inflation rate, aside from black swan events i.e. a user burns entire holdings.
