## Querying This Documentation
This site has an agentic ask interface you may use to query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.gainzswap.xyz/index.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

# Initial Liquidity Offering (ILO)

The GainzSwap **Initial Liquidity Offering (ILO)** is a fair and community-driven method for listing tokens on GainzSwap with deep, sustained liquidity from day one.

We help project teams bootstrap liquidity in a transparent and effective way, while giving users early access to promising tokens — all without private sales or VC allocations.

***

### 🚀 What Is an ILO?

An ILO is a decentralised token launch model where:

* A project contributes a portion of their token supply
* Users contribute accepted tokens (like $GAINZ or $EDU)
* After the offering ends, both sides are **paired into a liquidity pool** on GainzSwap

The result? Immediate trading, price discovery, and zero rug-pull risk.

***

### 💡 Why Use GainzSwap ILO?

For Projects:

* Launch with guaranteed liquidity
* Community-driven price discovery

For Participants:

* Early access to new tokens
* Transparent and permissionless launch process
* Guaranteed listing post-campaign

> Unlike traditional IDOs, the liquidity from ILO is locked at launch, preventing early dumps or rug pulls. ILO participants receive GTokens, hence allowing them participate in GainzSwap's and partner governance

***

### 🧾 How It Works

1. **Create an ILO campaign**

   * Projects submit details (token address, total allocation, soft/hard caps, duration)

   ![](https://2562436502-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbtUcdfluVvReSkuKrvvp%2Fuploads%2FFbDIpyVq71fXfvxliLVI%2Filo-form.png?alt=media\&token=18718730-7335-45b5-8e3f-402ad800b1bd)
2. **Users participate**

   * Contribute accepted token (e.g., $EDU) to the ILO pool

   ![](https://2562436502-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbtUcdfluVvReSkuKrvvp%2Fuploads%2Fbu3PwSG2yzwc6y7QMdAQ%2Filo-contribute.png?alt=media\&token=1cfea5c1-4faf-49f1-a72f-4379f598be0c)
3. **Offering ends**
   * Tokens and accepted tokens are automatically paired as liquidity
   * Liquidity is locked for a set period (e.g., 6 months)
4. **Participants receive GTokens**
   * You can participate in governance and receive rewards

# Token Types in GainzSwap

The GainzSwap protocol leverages a unique token system designed to power its ecosystem of decentralised trading, liquidity provisioning, and governance. Three primary tokens serve distinct but interconnected roles within the platform:

***

## 1. **$dEDU** – Delegated EDU

$dEDU is the delegated, GainzSwap-native representation of $EDU, enabling users to delegate their $EDU staking while remaining active participants in the protocol. While still earning Yuzu rewards, $dEDU holders:

* **Help grow protocol liquidity**, and
* **Unlock deeper integration** across GainzSwap, including swapping and governance influence.

Swaps involving EDU are settled in $dEDU, and withdrawals back to $EDU are available with a \~2-day unbonding period.

***

## 2. **$Gainz** – Native Protocol Token

$Gainz is the lifeblood of GainzSwap, serving as the native utility and incentive token:

* Distributed primarily to **GToken holders** as farming rewards
* Capped at **21 million tokens** total supply
* Used for **paying swap fees**, which are **burned**, reducing circulating supply
* Grants **governance power** when staked indirectly through liquidity pools

The tokenomics also allocates portions to team, growth initiatives, and ecosystem incentives, ensuring long-term protocol sustainability.

***

## 3. **GToken** – Staked Liquidity Representation

GToken is a **semi-fungible token (SFT)** that represents staked LP positions on GainzSwap. It encodes both:

* The amount of liquidity provided
* The **yield-bearing** position status including lockup duration and value

GToken holders receive $Gainz emissions and can optionally **lock their GTokens** for enhanced rewards. Locked positions can be unlocked at any time, but **early unlocks may incur penalties**.

Future use cases include **governance staking**, **collateralisation**, and cross-platform integrations within the EDU Chain ecosystem.

# $dEDU Token

$dEDU is the delegated version of $EDU exclusively created on the GainzSwap protocol. It’s not just another token—it’s the conduit that enables you to delegate your $EDU and actively contribute to the platform’s liquidity, participate in Initial Liquidity Offerings (ILOs), and earn Gainz points over time. By converting, or engaging in activities that converts your $EDU to $dEDU, you become an integral part of a system that ensures sustained liquidity for the entire EDU Chain ecosystem.

***

## **Key Benefits of Holding $dEDU**

* **Boost Protocol Liquidity:**\
  Your $dEDU holdings are indirectly used to reinforce the liquidity on GainzSwap, through Yuzu points farming. This ensures protocol growth and sustained liquidity, benefiting every trader, liquidity provider and project tokens on the platform.
* **Earn Gainz Points Through Activity:**\
  Whether you convert your $EDU to $dEDU or engage in related activities, you earn Gainz points. These points reward your participation and can unlock exclusive opportunities and Yuzu points as you interact with the protocol.
* **Streamlined Swaps:**\
  All swaps that involve $EDU are settled in $dEDU. This mechanism ensures that your trading experience is both seamless and efficient, while ensuring sustained liquidity on the protocol.
* **Flexible ILO Participation:**\
  Not only can $dEDU be used directly for participation in ILOs, but even $EDU can be used for that purpose. This flexibility ensures you have multiple pathways to join new token launches and special events on GainzSwap.
* **ERC20 Compatibility:**\
  As an ERC20 token, $dEDU is fully fungible and transferable across the ecosystem. This means you can easily move your tokens, trade them, or use them as part of other engagements in the entire ecosystem.

***

## **Understanding the Unbonding Process**

When it’s time to revert your $dEDU back to $EDU, you’ll experience an unbonding period of approximately 2 days. Here’s why this short wait is a boon for the entire ecosystem:

* **Ensuring Liquidity Stability:**\
  The unbonding period helps prevent sudden liquidity drains, ensuring that there’s always enough depth in the pools to support smooth trading. This safeguard stabilizes the market and enhances the overall performance of the protocol.
* **Protecting the Ecosystem:**\
  By implementing a brief wait, we protect against rapid, destabilizing transactions that could harm both the protocol and its users. This measured approach keeps the system robust and secure for long-term growth.
* **A Commitment to Quality:**\
  The delay isn’t a drawback—it’s a strategic feature. It reinforces our commitment to maintain a healthy, dynamic ecosystem where every action is balanced against the needs of the community.

***

## **How $dEDU Enhances Your GainzSwap Experience**

When you convert your $EDU to $dEDU, you’re contributing to much more than your personal portfolio. Here’s how your participation impacts the broader community:

* **Liquidity Growth:**\
  The total supply of $dEDU is a critical factor in determining the emission rate of $GAINZ tokens, which are distributed to GToken holders (liquidity stakers). In essence, the more $dEDU in circulation, the stronger and more attractive our liquidity pools become.
* **Community-Driven Value:**\
  $dEDU is designed to empower you as a community member. It creates a direct link between personal participation and the overall health of GainzSwap. Every value of $dEDU reinforces the protocol, drives rewards, and paves the way for future innovations.

***

**Ready to Get Started?**

Embrace $dEDU as your active role in powering the GainzSwap ecosystem. By converting your $EDU and engaging with $dEDU, you’re not only optimizing your trading experience—you’re also contributing to a healthier, more dynamic decentralized platform.

**Join the movement. Enhance liquidity, earn Gainz points, and unlock exclusive opportunities with $dEDU on GainzSwap.**


# $GAINZ Token

$Gainz is the **native reward and bootstrap liquidity** token for GainzSwap — a critical component in aligning incentives, facilitating governance, and ensuring sustainable growth within the EDU Chain ecosystem. The total supply is **21,000,000 $Gainz**, with a carefully designed emission schedule that decreases over time.

## Overview

* **Token Name:** $Gainz
* **Total Supply:** 21,000,000
* **Emission Model:** Deflationary, distributed primarily to liquidity stakers (via GToken).
* **Key Utilities:**

  * Protocol Fees Payment (buy & burn mechanism)
  * Governance rights (when staked via liquidity pools / GToken)
  * Security deposit for projects ILOs (via GToken)
  * Incentivizing liquidity, user engagement, bounties, and quests

## Distribution Breakdown

<figure><img src="https://2562436502-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbtUcdfluVvReSkuKrvvp%2Fuploads%2FjFVDauGTxrU11D2s3aBz%2Ftokenomics-diagram.png?alt=media&amp;token=fda8982b-b0ae-4f0a-8b20-7c3893cc5101" alt=""><figcaption><p>$Gainz Distribution</p></figcaption></figure>

### Primary Allocation of 21 Million $Gainz

The total mint of **21 000 000 $Gainz** is split into four main buckets. The **Ecosystem Distribution** (65%) is held in the $Gainz token contract and programmatically allocated according to the rules below.

<table><thead><tr><th width="219.5">Category</th><th width="100" align="right">% of Total</th><th width="150.5" align="right">Amount (Tokens)</th><th>Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Ecosystem Distribution</strong></td><td align="right">65%</td><td align="right">13 650 000</td><td>Held in‑contract and emitted per protocol rules</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Liquidity Incentive</strong></td><td align="right">18%</td><td align="right">3 780 000</td><td>Stablecoin or $EDU pool(s) to bootstrap new and critical pairs with $Gainz token</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Public Sale</strong></td><td align="right">7%</td><td align="right">1 470 000</td><td>Strategic community sale for Council SFTs (council members)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Strategic Investments</strong></td><td align="right">10%</td><td align="right">2 100 000</td><td>Partnerships, grants, ecosystem expansion</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Protocol &#x26; Core Team</strong></td><td align="right">—</td><td align="right"><em>(see Ecosystem)</em></td><td>Allocated from Ecosystem Distribution through a decay function</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Ecosystem Distribution (13 650 000 $Gainz)

This 65% tranche is controlled by the $Gainz token contract and dispensed automatically through a decay function:

<table><thead><tr><th width="186">Sub‑Category</th><th width="125" align="right">% of Ecosystem</th><th width="137" align="right">Amount (Tokens)</th><th>Mechanism</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Staking Rewards</strong></td><td align="right">70%</td><td align="right">9 555 000</td><td>Emitted to GToken holders, <strong>throttled</strong> by real‑time $dEDU supply (see below)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Liquidity Incentives</strong></td><td align="right">15%</td><td align="right">2 047 500</td><td>Bootstrap liquidity for external projects’ pools and select pair incentives</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Bounties, Airdrops &#x26; Quests</strong></td><td align="right">5%</td><td align="right">682 500</td><td>Community engagement, marketing campaigns, and special event rewards</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Team &#x26; Protocol</strong></td><td align="right">10%</td><td align="right">1 365 000</td><td>Emitted following the decay function.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### **Staking Rewards Throttled by $dEDU Supply**

* The **Staking Rewards** pool (9 555 000 $Gainz) is distributed to GToken holders (liquidity stakers).
* However, the **actual emission rate** at any given time is **dependent on the circulating supply of $dEDU**, as enforced by the Governance contract via the $dEDU contract.
* **More $dEDU → higher staking emissions**; **less $dEDU → lower emissions**, ensuring that rewards scale with community participation and liquidity growth.

### How It Works in Practice

1. **Upfront Allocations**\
   All allocations, except **Ecosystem Distribution**, are distributed and held in separate addresses pending when they will be used for their purpose. &#x20;
2. **Ecosystem Distribution Lockup**\
   All 13.65 M tokens reside in the $Gainz contract. They are not released upfront but emitted per the above schedule.
3. **Automated Emissions**
   * **Staking rewards** flow to GToken balances each second, dynamically adjusted by the on‑chain $dEDU supply.
   * **Liquidity incentives**, **bounties**, and **team** are released based on the decay function following certain milestone triggers.
4. **Supply Cap & Deflation**\
   Once the 21 M cap is reached, no new $Gainz can be emitted. Meanwhile, protocol fees are used to **supply the decay function**, creating a sustainable ecosystem tokens distribution.

This two‑tiered distribution model aligns long‑term value accrual with active community participation, rewarding those who stake, delegate (via $dEDU), and contribute to GainzSwap’s liquidity and governance.

## Utility & Governance

### Governance

* **Staking $Gainz via GToken:**\
  Liquidity providers who stake their LP tokens receive **GToken**, which entitles them to governance rights. Because $Gainz is distributed to GToken holders, it indirectly grants greater say in protocol proposals to those most invested in the ecosystem.
* **ILO Listings**\
  Only GTokens having $Gainz liquidity pools can be used as security deposits for creating ILO listings. Though all tokens listed on GainzSwap becomes governance tokens through GToken, only $Gainz will have the power to influence new token listings.
* **Protocol Upgrades & Decisions:**\
  Future on-chain voting mechanisms may use staked $Gainz (or GToken) balances to determine voting power, enabling a **community-centric decision process**.

### Protocol Fees & Buy-Burn

* **Swap Fee Payments in $Gainz:**\
  A portion (or all) of the fees collected from trading on GainzSwap are used to **purchase and burn $Gainz**, creating a **deflationary pressure** that benefits long-term holders.
* **Long-Term Sustainability:**\
  This buy-and-burn model aligns platform growth with token value, reducing sell pressure and fostering a more balanced supply-demand dynamic.

### Incentives & Rewards

* **Liquidity Mining:**\
  Stakers of GToken (which represents locked LP tokens) receive $Gainz emissions proportionate to their share.
* **Bootstrap Liquidity**\
  To foster ecosystem wide growth, GainzSwap will support projects, through governance, with liquidity allocation from token distribution (see Ecosystem Distribution above)
* **Bounties, Airdrops, & Quests:**\
  A percentage of $Gainz is reserved for marketing, development bounties, and quest-based user engagement. This encourages active participation and user-driven innovation.

***

## Putting It All Together

$Gainz is engineered to:

1. **Reward Positive Action:** Users who contribute liquidity or engage with the protocol can earn $Gainz, creating a virtuous cycle of expansion.
2. **Empower Governance:** $Gainz fosters a community-led environment where those contributing the most hold the most influence.
3. **Protect Long-Term Value:** Through daily emission reductions and a robust buy-and-burn mechanism, the protocol safeguards against uncontrolled inflation.
4. **Expand the EDU Chain Ecosystem:** A portion of $Gainz is dedicated to partnerships, bounties, and quests, driving growth beyond just GainzSwap.

Whether you’re a liquidity provider, a project partner, or simply a trader intrigued by the potential of DeFi on the EDU Chain ecosystem, $Gainz offers both **tangible incentives** and **long-term strategic value**. By aligning rewards with contributions, $Gainz ensures that GainzSwap’s community and token holders thrive together — laying a strong foundation for the future of decentralised finance on EDU Chain.


# GToken

**GToken** is the core **staking and governance token** of the GainzSwap ecosystem. It is not minted directly but rather **derived** from locking LP tokens in the protocol’s governance staking contract. GToken holders represent the **most committed liquidity providers**, as they lock capital and earn long-term influence — they are the true Gainerz.

## Entry & Exit Governance Conditions

| Action    | Requirement                                              | Result                                                                     |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enter** | Stake liquidity by optionally locking LP tokens          | Receive GToken encoded with appropriate attributes                         |
| **Exit**  | Unstake liquidity by burning GToken, and hence LP tokens | Retrieve corresponding LP pair tokens, with upto 30% loss if early unstake |

## Role in Governance

* **Proposal Access:**\
  Only users holding GToken, with specific attributes, can propose new pair listings or protocol upgrades.
* **Voting Power:**\
  GToken holders cast votes weighted by their GToken balances and epochs locked. For sensitive proposals (e.g., protocol fees, council elections), **GToken** is the exclusive mechanism of decision-making.
* **Incentive Alignment:**\
  Since GToken requires LP locking, it ensures governance participants are **economically aligned** with the platform’s long-term success.

## Staking Rewards Emission

* Rewards come from the **Staking Rewards** pool (9.55 M $Gainz).
* However, actual emission is **dynamically throttled** based on the **$dEDU circulating supply** (delegated governance participation).
* This creates a three-way balance:
  * LP Token Holders → stake and mint GToken
  * GToken Holders → earn rewards, vote
  * $dEDU Holders → throttle how fast rewards flow

This system ensures that not just capital (via LP tokens), but also **community trust and reputation** (via delegation) plays a role in reward distribution.
