# Deflation model The total supply is 48,000,000,000 tokens, of which 21,600,000,000 (45%) are allocated as participant rewards. Upon initial token issuance, 2,160,000,000 tokens will be distributed, with the reward rate decreasing every month. Ultimately, all tokens will be in circulation by the end of the 20th year, with no additional issuance or circulation beyond that point. $GP, rewarded to GPU providers, nodes, and stakers, serves as an incentive for early user adoption and is distributed with a decreasing supply each month. This reduction in supply helps to mitigate token inflation. As the business grows, $GP will be repurchased with revenue generated, continuously decreasing the market supply, potentially turning $GP into a deflationary asset. *Market Capitalization = (Circulating Supply of Tokens - Repurchased Amount) \* Price per Token* Deflation begins when the quantity of tokens repurchased through service revenue exceeds the number of tokens distributed monthly, leading to an increase in the value of $GP. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
