$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.
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
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.

3 780 000
Stablecoin or $EDU pool(s) to bootstrap new and critical pairs with $Gainz token
Public Sale

Allocated from Ecosystem Distribution through a decay function
This 65% tranche is controlled by the $Gainz token contract and dispensed automatically through a decay function:
Staking Rewards
70%
9 555 000
Emitted to GToken holders, throttled by real‑time $dEDU supply (see below)
Liquidity Incentives
15%
2 047 500
Bootstrap liquidity for external projects’ pools and select pair incentives
Bounties, Airdrops & Quests
5%
682 500
Community engagement, marketing campaigns, and special event rewards
Team & Protocol
10%
1 365 000
Emitted following the decay function.
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.
Upfront Allocations All allocations, except Ecosystem Distribution, are distributed and held in separate addresses pending when they will be used for their purpose.
Ecosystem Distribution Lockup All 13.65 M tokens reside in the $Gainz contract. They are not released upfront but emitted per the above schedule.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
$Gainz is engineered to:
Reward Positive Action: Users who contribute liquidity or engage with the protocol can earn $Gainz, creating a virtuous cycle of expansion.
Empower Governance: $Gainz fosters a community-led environment where those contributing the most hold the most influence.
Protect Long-Term Value: Through daily emission reductions and a robust buy-and-burn mechanism, the protocol safeguards against uncontrolled inflation.
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.
