# The LMDA Token

{% hint style="warning" %}
The LMDA token is the key to gain access to the Lambda Markets platform and the Lambda ecosystem. Users must acquire LMDA tokens + activate them in the Lambda Vault to gain platform access.
{% endhint %}

LMDA token holders are able to:

* **Access Lambda 2.0**: *purchase LMDA tokens to activate platform subscriptions and features*
* **Rebates:** *lock LMDA tokens to earn tiered discounts on platform features and subscriptions. Refer friends + family to receive generous rebates.*

## **Tokenomics** <a href="#id-9e76" id="id-9e76"></a>

The LMDA tokenomic model is simple — 90% of the 100,000,000 total supply is floated to early investors at the [Lambda Token Portal](broken://pages/zsSKTVytbK97FkUsdCWM) and 10% of the token supply is held in the Lambda Vault to bootstrap market liquidity.

**Token allocation:**

* Public Sale (Lambda Users): 90,000,000 tokens
* Lambda Vault: 10,000,000 tokens

The 10% allocation to the Lambda Vault will never be outright sold on the market and the other 90% of the supply will be in circulation at launch, distributed to participants at the [token portal](broken://pages/zsSKTVytbK97FkUsdCWM).

## **Zero Insider allocation:**

As many tokens possible will be in the hands of our platform users from launch. The LMDA token **has zero:**

* Team allocation
* Private/VC/Seed allocation
* Community allocation

Acquire LMDA tokens without the fear of insider selling that has become typical of most tokenomic setups.

## A Deflationary LMDA Token Market <a href="#ce18" id="ce18"></a>

{% hint style="success" %}
The major benefit of floating 100% of the LMDA token supply at launch is that we are able to promote a **deflationary token market.**
{% endhint %}

Availability of the LMDA token on decentralised markets should become increasingly scarce, promoted via a **token burn mechanism.**

The Lambda 'Vault’ will promote a deflationary token market. 10% of the LMDA tokens used to activate product features and subscriptions will  - beginning at launch & lasting FOREVER.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/ulssROPvlm9FsMPSPOmk" alt=""><figcaption><p>Users will have to acquire LMDA tokens and activate them in the vault for access</p></figcaption></figure>

**10% of the LMDA tokens used to activate product features** will be burnt, beginning at launch & lasting FOREVER. Once tokens are deposited into the vault, 10% of those tokens are burnt — never to hit the market again.

During renewal periods and new platform feature releases there should be heightened demand for activated LMDA + thus the availability of the LMDA token on decentralised markets should become increasingly scarce **in short bursts throughout the year.**

## Token Flow in the Lambda Ecosystem

To access the Lambda 2.0 platform, users must acquire LMDA tokens and activate them in-app via the vault. The process is as follows:

1. User acquires LMDA at the [Lambda Token Portal](broken://pages/zsSKTVytbK97FkUsdCWM) or on the open market
2. User navigates to the [Lambda web app](/lambda-markets/welcome-to-lambda-markets.md)
3. User activates the LMDA tokens required to subscribe or unlock a feature in the Market tab.
4. 10% of the LMDA tokens that are activated are burnt and the other 90% remain in the vault for passive liquidity provision.

Lambda Markets will provide equal parts USDC + vault LMDA to bootstrap and maintain market liquidity via [Orca](https://www.orca.so/).
