# The token: $FRK

$FRK token is a ERC20 token minted on the Polygon Blockchain. It is the store of value of the Frak ecosystem. 

$FRK tokens have a fixed supply of 3,000,000,000.00000 units. 

$FRK shall be listed on both decentralized and centralized exchange on the future and shall be publicly tradable.

Creators and Users will always own a majority of tokens and be able to make decisions through the DAO (*see below*) 

#### $FRK Minting 

$FRK earning will vary over time based on the usage and actions taken by the community. 

Creators and Users can earn $FRK every time a user interacts with any content registered in the Frak Protocol. The only way $FRK can be minted is by consuming some content.  

#### $FRK Burning

$FRK has a limited supply therefore, no burning mechanisms are set up. However, in specific case of inflation burning could be decided by DAO (cf [Hedging against inflation](/frak-protocol/tokenomics/hedging-against-inflation.md))

Besides, DAO could also decided to create an inactivity fee with automatic burning algorithm. For example, if Owners do not interact with the ecosystem and/or tokens during a long period of time, FRK token owner will have to pay an inactivity fee. <br>
