# ICS Tokenomics Overview

The total supply of **$ICS** is **1,000,000,000 (1 billion) tokens**. These tokens will be distributed across various categories to ensure sustainability, growth, and long-term value.

$ICS is the **primary token** for governance, investment, and liquidity across ICS-backed projects. Its utilities include:

* **Governance:** ICS holders can vote on decisions such as new incubated projects, treasury management, and liquidity adjustments.
* **Staking Rewards:** Users can stake $ICS to earn rewards from transaction fees and ecosystem incentives.
* **Investment Vehicle:** Holders can invest in new ICS-incubated projects and participate in early-stage funding rounds.
* **Cross-Project Utility:** $ICS is used across all ICS-managed projects, including discounted fees, premium services, and NFT drops.
* **Liquidity & Swaps:** Acts as the **primary bridge token**, enabling seamless swaps with ICS-backed tokens like $DD.
