# Token Emission

The emission model is composed of three primary token pools, each with distinct rules for allocation and distribution. These pools serve as mechanisms for liquidity, primary ecosystem incentives, and secondary development initiatives.

{% hint style="info" %}
DUCAT’s emission framework is designed to balance short-term growth with long-term sustainability.

By combining linear vesting, exponential decay, proportional emissions, and DAO-governed flexibility, the tokenomics model ensures robust incentives for ecosystem participants while protecting the value of the token supply over time.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Emissions are only unlocked and must be claimed either manually or by the DAO
