## TGE Circulating Supply

| Source                            | Tokens         |
| --------------------------------- | -------------- |
| Public Round (25% TGE unlock)     | 2,000,000      |
| DEX/CEX Liquidity (100% unlocked) | 10,000,000     |
| **Total**                         | **12,000,000** |

All other allocations, including Strategic Partners, were fully locked at TGE with their respective cliff and vesting schedules.

## Value Accrual

ALVA captures value through several mechanisms:

### BSKT Demand

On Ethereum, every BSKT currently includes a minimum ALVA allocation. Including ALVA in a BSKT's allocation unlocks reduced platform fees, incentivizing organic demand for the token that scales with protocol adoption. With the upcoming Base deployment, the ALVA allocation becomes a variable parameter rather than a strict requirement.

### Staking Lock-Up

ALVA locked in staking contracts (especially forever locks) permanently removes tokens from circulation. As more participants stake, the effective circulating supply decreases.

### Gauge Weight Incentives

The gauge weight voting system incentivizes ALVA acquisition and staking. Users who want to influence reward allocation must hold veALVA, which requires locking ALVA.

## Token Utility Flow

```
ALVA → Lock → veALVA → Vote on Gauge Weights → Direct Rewards to BSKTs
                  ↓
            Earn Staking Rewards (ALVA)
                  ↓
            Compound or Claim
```

This creates a cycle:

1. Lock ALVA to earn veALVA
2. Use veALVA to vote and earn rewards
3. Compound rewards back into the lock
4. Increased veALVA earns more rewards
