# Token and Tokenomics

We have a roadmap to **release a Token between Q2 and Q3 of 2023**.

The main reasons behind this choice are the following:

* prove we can have **real world customers** and use cases before the release of the token
* raise fund in a **decentralized way**, by allowing anyone to participate in the protocol
* give **real benefits** to token holders
  * % of the fees generated on chain, directly paid to token holders
  * DAO participation

You can still support us, as we have a currently active [Gitcoin grant page](https://gitcoin.co/grants/7409/tproof).

Token will be released in the form of an **NFT collection**, with 10,000 items, each one representing a person.&#x20;

### Token benefits

Two are the main benefits for token holders

1. Earn a **percentage of the fees** generated by the protocol. Every proof requires a fee to be paid, and the token will collect a percentage of those fee across all the chains
2. Participate in the **DAO**. Even if the project won't be directly owned by the DAO, at least in its initial phase, we believe that **token holders participation** can benefit the growth of the project. DAO will have the right to vote in our decisions, to help the team developing a better adopted solution

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tproof.io/general-info/token-and-tokenomics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
