# GSOL Tokenomic
## GSOL Token
GSOL is the platform's utility and governance token. Staking GSOL earns you a share of protocol fees from leverage trading, liquidations, borrowing fees, and swaps are used to buy back GSOL. GSOL also grants voting power in protocol governance.
## Buying GSOL
GSOL trading is not live yet. We are currently conducting a [private sale](#private-sale-nft-program) and [presale](#gsol-presale) to raise funds for development and to bootstrap initial liquidity ahead of the GSOL DEX launch.

* 50% of protocol fees from swap
* 100% of protocol fees from orderbook and aggregrat route
* and dynamic percentage of ptotocol fees from leverage trading, liquidations and borrowing fees
are used to buy back GSOL token on the open market through.
## Tokenomic
GSOL has a maximum supply of 200,000,000 tokens with no future minting, ensuring a fixed and transparent supply model.
The token distribution is structured to balance liquidity, ecosystem expansion, and long-term sustainability.
77.5% of the total supply will enter circulation, consisting of:
* 42.55% — GSOL Presale
* 4.95% — GSOL Private Sale
* 15% — Liquidity
* 15% — Ecosystem Rewards
The remaining 22.5% of the supply is permanently allocated for long-term ecosystem support, including:
* 10% — GDEX Shares *(trading fee distributions for GDEX stakers)*
* 5% — GRDX Buyback & Burn Programs
