# Token Allocation

The **KOTAI Token (KTI)** is the utility and economic asset of the KOTAI ecosystem, designed to generate advantages, rewards, and strategic participation across the platforms — but it is **not required** to access the basic services.

Each product in the ecosystem (Wallet, Exchange, Gateway, Marketplace, Betting) functions independently. The KOTAI token acts as a **benefit amplifier** for the most engaged users.

**🧾 Total Supply and Initial Distribution**

* **Maximum Supply:** 1,000,000,000,000 KTI (1 trillion) — **fixed and deflationary**
* **Economic Model:** deflationary, with scheduled burns and increasing scarcity

**Distribution:**

| Category                 | Amount (KTI)    | Approx. Percentage |
| ------------------------ | --------------- | ------------------ |
| Pre-sale (ICO)           | 372,485,621,548 | 37.25%             |
| Founders (2,807 people)  | 475,380,000,000 | 47.54%             |
| Staking & Incentives     | 134,000,000,000 | 13.40%             |
| Validator Partners       | 17,500,000,000  | 1.75%              |
| Already Sold (1st round) | 634,378,452     | 0.06%              |

> **Unsold or unclaimed tokens will be burned**, reducing circulating supply and increasing scarcity.
