TANGO is Contango’s utility token, with a total supply of 1,000,000,000 and represents the centerpiece of the protocol’s tokenomics, aka TANGOnomics.

More than 60% of TANGO supply is allocated to the community.

6.7% of the supply will be made available through a public sale on Fjord.

18.2% of the supply will be claimable through the oTANGO airdrop a few weeks after the sale.

32.7% will be allocated to ecosystem development. Here’s a few examples:

• Trading incentives (e.g. 2% of the supply will be allocated each year for 3 years to reward traders).

• Protocol-owned liquidity on dexes (e.g. initially, around $800,000 worth of TANGO will be paired against ETH to seed liquidity on Balancer).

• Community grants.

3% will be allocated to AlphaDAO, which helped kickstart Contango in 2021.

The only tokens that have a cliff and vesting are those allocated to:

• the team (1 year cliff, 2.5 years vesting)

• investors (6 months cliff, 2 years vesting)

• AlphaDAO (1 year cliff, 2.5 years vesting).
