(The information below is provided by the LAVA(LAVA) team. Please follow LAVA(LAVA) for more information） **Token Information** Token Name: LAVA Token Symbol: LAVA Max Supply：1,000,000,000 Token Type: Native token Contract: N/A Token distribution ratio and unlocking rules: LAVA is the native token of the Vulcan Forged ecosystem, serving as the primary medium for transactions, gameplay incentives, and participation rewards. With a total supply capped at 1 billion tokens, LAVA underwent a significant evolution from its origins as a Polygon token to become a pivotal asset within the Elysium blockchain. Notably, LAVA's tokenomics include the conversion of Cold LAVA, earned through active gameplay and XP accumulation, into Hot LAVA, which can be used on the Elysium blockchain and exchanged for fiat currency if desired. Additionally, the introduction of the Frenzy Pass system partitions LAVA earnings between a Frenzy LAVA pool and a non-Frenzy pool, creating a circular economy to maximize player rewards. The LAVA Bank and DeFi District initiatives within VulcanVerse offer users opportunities to stake LAVA and earn APY, further integrating gaming and finance. As for vesting, there are no specific vesting periods mentioned in the whitepaper, indicating a straightforward and flexible token distribution model. LAVA's ongoing innovation and expanding utility underscore its significance within the Vulcan Forged ecosystem, with the potential for future use-cases and features.
