Tokenomics

In shortThe economics of a token: supply, who holds it, how new tokens are released and what the token is used for.

Good questions: what is the max supply? How much went to the team and investors, and when do they unlock? Is there inflation, a burn or a buyback? Does the token earn anything from the product, or is it only for voting?
