Markets gonna market, price is what players are willing to pay. * **Pre-minted / founder's share:** None! * **Supply / faucets**: The supply of $PART tokens in Golem Overlord is inflationary. $PART is printed every day as players make Claims. The circulating supply is influenced by the balance of game faucets, sinks, and staking. The total supply of $PART is "infinite" in principle. Technically, it is just over 9 quadrillion, which should serve the game's purposes for... pretty much ever. * **Burn / sinks:** The burn mechanisms are as follows: * Reputation - Burn $PART for [faster account leveling](/golem-overlord/gameplay/player-stats/reputation.md). * Stats Upgrades - The cost to upgrade any stat [works on an exponential curve](/golem-overlord/gameplay/player-stats/upgrade-costs-table.md). * Attacking - When Attacking unsuccessfully, 10% of your claimable stash will get burned. * **Distribution**: The distribution of $PART tokens only comes from: * The initial 3 $PART you get when purchasing the [staff](/golem-overlord/golem-overlord/golemancer-staff.md) * Active players claiming $PART * Bonuses on Claims (e.g. from Events or multipliers) * **Demand**: The demand for $PART is driven by its utility within the game. The size and engagement of the game's user base deeply influence demand. So far, $PART is keeping its circulating supply well under 10%:

Overall, the specific implementation of tokenomics for $PART in Golem Overlord may vary depending on a number of factors and may be subject to change over time based on the needs and goals of the game's developers and user community. Remember we are in an ALPHA-state of gameplay and things can be changed fast!
