# Token Economics

## Overview

Cyclone Protocol is fueled by the CYC token, which is designed to incentivize **anonymity providers**, **liquidity providers**, and **users**. **CYC is NOT pre-mined or pre-allocated.** Those that contribute to Cyclone will earn CYC.

* **Total Supply:** 50,000, fixed
* **Circulating Supply:** \~6,000 (see <https://cyclone.xyz/analytics> for the latest info)
* **CYC Mint**
* * **Genesis anonymity pools will be provisioned** when launch on a blockchain
  * **Opening of additional anonymity pools will have to go through community vote**
  * **Anonymity Mining:** Coins/tokens are rewarded to ones who deposit coins/tokens into anonymity pools and keep them there for a while. There are [two](/cyc-token/anonymity-mining-v1.md) [versions](/cyc-token/anonymity-mining-v2.md) of anonymity mining that mint CYC in different ways.
  * **Liquidity Mining**: CYC is rewarded to users who provides liquidity for CYC on DEX (Decentralized Exchanges).
* **CYC Utility**&#x20;
  * **Use Anonymity Pool:** when one uses the anonymity pool to gain privacy, a certain portion of CYC will be burned.
  * **Decentralized Governance:** CYC holders are entitled to govern the Cyclone Protocol.

| Roles                  | How To Become                                                                  | Benefits                |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------- |
| **Anonymity Provider** | Provide anonymity by depositing tokens and letting them stay there for a while | Anonymity mining reward |
| **User**               | Deposit-and-withdraw tokens for transactional privacy                          | Gain privacy            |
| **Liquidity Provider** | Bond coins/tokens + CYC to DEX to provide liquidity of CYC                     | Liquidity mining reward |
| **Governors**          | CYC holders who decide how the protocol evolves                                | Certain rights          |

## CYC Token

CYC Token is issued on multiple blockchains and fully connected via the bridge. The CYC contract addresses are different chains are:

* IoTeX `io1f4acssp65t6s90egjkzpvrdsrjjyysnvxgqjrh`&#x20;
* BSC `0x810ee35443639348adbbc467b33310d2ab43c168`
* Ethereum `0x8861cff2366c1128fd699b68304ad99a0764ef9a`&#x20;
