# 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. 

### 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
