# Welcome

Altitude is a Base-chain DeFi ecosystem built around the Altitude token, external revenue generation, deflationary supply mechanics, USDC reward flows, and ecosystem products such as Mountain Miner and the Everest Vault.

From day one, the core idea behind Altitude has been to generate external revenue that can support the project, reduce the token supply, and reward holders for their loyalty.

These documents provide an overview of Altitude's core elements, including tokenomics, liquidity, rewards, treasury activity, ecosystem products, security, and the roadmap for the future.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Crypto and DeFi products are high risk. Token prices, rewards, ROI rates, treasury support and contract balances are not guaranteed. Users should always do their own research and only use funds they can afford to lose.
