# Emissions

The initial total supply of `$KODO` tokens is 400M. Each epoch, `$KODO` will undergo the following three forms of supply expansion:

* **Weekly Emissions**: Weekly emissions start at 15M `$KODO` (3.75% of the initial supply), with a release amount decreasing by 1% per week. All released `$KODO` tokens are allocated to Liquidity Providers (LPs).
* **Rebase**: `$veKODO` holders receive a `$KODO` rebase during each epoch proportional to both the LP emission and the `$KODO` lock-up ratio, reducing vote power dilution for `$veKODO`. `$veKODO` rebase does not affect weekly emissions distributed to liquidity providers.

  The calculation formula for the rebase is structured to provide greater rewards to `$veKODO` holders when the lock-up ratio decreases, incentivizing further lock-ups:

$$
\text{{Rebase}} = \text{{Weekly Emissions}} \times \left(1 - \frac{{\text{{veKODO.Total Supply}}}}{{\text{{KODO.Total Supply}}}}\right)^2 \times 0.5
$$

* **Team Emissions:** Kodo will ensure its long-term sustainability by having a dedicated team focused on supporting the product decentralization, documentation, community, and ecosystem. To cover ongoing expenses and all the upcoming development efforts, \~3% of the emissions will be going to the team address.

### Distribution Rules for Weekly Emissions

* Weekly `$KODO` rewards are allocated to liquidity pools based on `$veKODO` vote power ratios for each epoch. LPs earn rewards in proportion to their liquidity contribution and duration in each pool.
* `$KODO` rewards are streamlined and accumulative, and can be withdrawn as liquid `$KODO` at any time, offering flexibility and immediate value to participants.
