# $QUID Tokenomics

## Token Supply

$QUID has a fixed total supply of **1,000,000,000 tokens**. Genesis supply equals maximum supply: there is no further minting, and no validator or emission rewards are allocated. Allocations are fixed at TGE and sum to 100% of total supply.

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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