# Overview

{% hint style="info" %}
The values and parameters in this documentation are preliminary and subject to change before launch.
{% endhint %}

**MSIG** is an ERC-20 utility token powering the Meta Signals ecosystem. With a fixed supply of **1,000,000,000 tokens** and no additional minting possible, the token launches with a 15.3% initial float. All allocations follow vesting schedules to ensure smooth, predictable releases.

The tokenomics are built around an ecosystem-driven treasury, where platform activity may support staking rewards, ecosystem programs, and discretionary supply-management actions over time.

## Token Allocation

The [token supply](/tokenomics/readme-1.md) is distributed across five stakeholder groups, with the **Community receiving the largest share at 40%**. This allocation ensures broad ownership and true decentralization from day one, where no single entity controls the majority of tokens.

## Vesting Schedule

All allocations follow [daily linear vesting](/tokenomics/token-unlock-schedule.md) to prevent large unlock dumps and ensure smooth token releases:

* **Core Contributors**: 12-month cliff, then 36-month linear vesting
* **Presale (Private)**: 10.0% at TGE , 3-month cliff, then 12-month linear vesting
* **Presale (Strategic)**: 15.0% at TGE , 2-month cliff, then 10-month linear vesting
* **Presale (Community)**: 20% at TGE, 1-month cliff, then 8-month linear vesting

## Token Utilities

The utility model is designed around commitment. Each mechanism unlocks benefits that grow with a user's stake and lock duration. Holding and staking MSIG provides access to tangible benefits:

<table><thead><tr><th width="224">Utility</th><th>Benefit</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a href="/pages/4EX4FX6VSueSalS7ET7c">Subscription discounts</a></td><td>Up to 50% off based on stake amount and lock duration</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/49xKAH8tUvj7vN3XkbpW">Expanded alerts coverage</a></td><td>Coverage for timeframes and pairs beyond the standard free tier</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/yftDcBWNhYA2J2KVoLAP">Governance voting</a></td><td>Influence platform parameters and proposals</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/Oel9VshTpq5znN7RlQ6e">Staking rewards</a></td><td>Earn MSIG tokens from the staking pool</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Ecosystem-Driven Treasury

Meta Signals develops products and platform utility supported by a treasury that may strengthen the ecosystem over time. Potential treasury inflows may come from trading activity, exchange-related activity, and subscription products, and may be retained, reinvested, reserved, or otherwise used according to treasury policy and operating priorities. See [Ecosystem-Driven Treasury](/tokenomics/ecosystem-driven-treasury.md) for how this is designed to work, and [Treasury Operations](/tokenomics/treasury-operations.md) for the operational mechanism.

When treasury and market conditions allow, funds may be used on a discretionary basis for open-market MSIG purchases, burns, staking support, governance reserves, or other ecosystem support actions. Any such action is discretionary, may vary over time, and is not guaranteed to occur on any schedule or in any amount.

You can also explore illustrative scenarios with a third‑party [Revenue Simulation](/tokenomics/ecosystem-driven-treasury/revenue-simulation.md) tool built by a community member.

## Vote Escrow Governance

Locked MSIG tokens generate **veMSIG** (vote-escrowed MSIG), a non-transferable token that represents a user's commitment to the ecosystem. The amount of veMSIG held determines tiered access to benefits. The longer the lock period (1-24 months), the more veMSIG is generated and the greater the benefits.

[**veMSIG**](/tokenomics/vote-escrow-governance.md) **unlocks three core benefits:**

<table><thead><tr><th width="261.199951171875">Benefit</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Subscription discounts</td><td>Save up to 50% on platform fees</td></tr><tr><td>Staking rewards</td><td>Receive MSIG from the staking pool</td></tr><tr><td>Governance voting</td><td>Vote on platform parameters and proposals</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Priority token sale access**

*1 NFT unlocks Strategic round access, 2 NFTs unlock Private round access*

**Revenue share**
