# Tokenomics

## Token Details

| Item            | Details                            |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Name            | Altitude                           |
| Chain           | Base                               |
| Starting Supply | 210,000,000 ALTITUDE               |
| Minting         | No additional tokens can be minted |

Altitude's deflationary nature means the total supply of the token reduces over time.

The majority of burned Altitude tokens are first bought from the market. This means burns are not only reducing supply, but also creating buy pressure before the tokens are removed from circulation.

## Burn Logic

Altitude's website tracks token burns using:

```
Tokens Burned = 210,000,000 - Current Total Supply
```

This is based burned tokens reduce the token's total supply.

## Tax Status

As part of **Altitude Restored**, ALTITUDE has returned to an active transaction tax model designed to directly support the long-term ecosystem.

A **10% tax applies to buys and sells through recognised ALTITUDE liquidity pools**.

The tax is split as follows:

* **1% Permanent Burn** — ALTITUDE is permanently removed from circulation.
* **4% Mountain Wallet** — supports the Altitude treasury and wider project ecosystem.
* **5% Everest Holder Rewards** — directed towards supporting the Everest reward system.

This applies to both buys and sells.

Normal wallet-to-wallet transfers remain **tax free**.

Project activity is not exempt from the tokenomics. When the project buys ALTITUDE through a liquidity pool, it also pays the applicable transaction tax, meaning project-funded activity continues to contribute towards burns, the Mountain and Everest.

Legacy burned liquidity remains part of the ecosystem alongside newer liquidity venues, allowing ALTITUDE to continue benefiting from trading activity across its available markets.
