# Tokenomics

**STRIKE Utility**

The Strike Token (STRIKE) offers a range of utilities within the Strike Finance ecosystem, making it a vital component for users. The key utilities of STRIKE include:

1. Staking: STRIKE holders can stake their tokens and earn a percentage of protocol fees.
2. Governance: STRIKE holders can participate in the protocol’s governance, voting on important decisions such as upgrades, new feature implementations, and changes to fee structures.
3. Trading Fees: Holders of STRIKE will have discounted trading fees for using the platform. The discounted fee for STRIKE holders can be stacked on top of the discounted fee when using STRIKE as additional collateral.

### ​**Emissions** <a href="#emissions" id="emissions"></a>

Emissions will be simple and concise. There will be 72% of tokens initially in circulation (public + liquidity). The additional 15% from team allocation will be fully unlocked after 30 months (full details below) for a circulating supply of 87%, and the final 13% (DAO treasury) will be decided by community members at a later time.

### ​**Vesting** <a href="#vesting" id="vesting"></a>

DAO vesting will be entirely up to the voting of STRIKE holders. This can be used for anything the community sees fit such as incentives, initiatives, funding future development, etc.

Team vesting is simple. Starting from the token generation event, there is a 6 month period where there are no unlocked tokens. After that, tokens will unlock linearly monthly over the span of 24 months (2 years).
