# Tokenomics

The Hold (EARN) token was originally launched on Ethereum on October 10, 2023. The contract implements an updated and optimized version of the automatic burn and rewards mechanism introduced by the [RFI](https://etherscan.io/address/0xa1afffe3f4d611d252010e3eaf6f4d77088b0cd7#code) token. The rewards mechanism uses automatic balance adjustments 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 allowing for gas efficient rewards distribution to holders. Rewards are proportional to the holder's balance, including the burn wallet. At launch, 50% of the total supply was burned to enable an automatic burn rate of > 1% on each transaction. As the burn wallet grows through rewards, the burn rate increases over time, making the token inherently deflationary.

## Token Information

* **Name**: Hold
* **Symbol**: EARN
* **Total Supply**: 1,000,000,000 EARN
* **Circulating Supply**: 422,775,848 EARN (as of 5/16/2025, dynamically decreasing)
* **Transaction Fee** (ETH): 2%
* **Transaction Fee** (other chains): 0%
* **Initial Liquidity**: 90% of supply

### Multi-Chain Expansion

To expand the project into other ecosystems and communities, Hold (EARN) was [bridged](/earn-ecosystem/what-is-earn/cross-chain-bridge.md) to multiple different chains - BNB, Base, Avalanche, and Solana. On these additional chains, EARN is a simple zero-fee token. Currently, we provide SOL rewards for holders on Solana through an innovative dividend share mechanism. Rewards for holders may be added to other chains in the future.
