# $AIKI Token

Aiki's ecosystem is powered and governed by $AIKI, an SPL token launching on the Solana blockchain.

$AIKI token is backed by Aiki's unique IP and storytelling, the emerging narrative for smart, sovereign agentic applications and our robust technical foundations for a perennial AI infrastructure on the blockchain.

*Hold it, stake it, burn it. $AIKI is the heartbeat of the entire ecosystem. Protocolar utilities will be revealed post-staking.*

### DLMM Pool Design

To ensure deep, efficient, and programmable on-chain liquidity for our token, we have chosen to launch using a **Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM)** architecture via [**Meteora**](https://docs.meteora.ag/product-overview/meteora-liquidity-pools/dlmm-overview).

#### How it works

Unlike traditional AMMs, DLMM enables us to precisely control how liquidity is distributed across price ranges through a bin-based system. 

#### $AIKI Pool Configuration

Our initial liquidity provision allocates 20% of the total supply into a DLMM pool at an initial listing price of $0.01, with a bin step of 100 basis points (1%).

This means the price advances in controlled increments, allowing for a smooth and transparent price discovery curve.

#### Why it's bullish

DLMM’s support for asymmetric and single-sided liquidity gives us the flexibility to manage market depth and slippage more efficiently than traditional models, making it the optimal choice for both initial launch conditions and long-term liquidity sustainability.
