When interacting with the token, ensure that the address matches the one above.* ### GAB Introduction GAB is the custom token for the Gable protocol. This token is issued deliberately after the first release of the protocol (Gable Version 1). From Gable Version 2 and onwards, GAB will play a pivotal role in interacting with the protocol and contributing to its governance. #### **Utility** Suppliers may gain access to enhanced rewards, reduced fees, or exclusive features, while borrowers can enjoy discounted interest rates or access to a wider range of lending options. This utility token will play a crucial role in further incentivizing engagement and usage on our platform. #### **Governance** The Gable token will also serve as a governance token. Token holders will have the opportunity to participate in the decision-making processes of Gable enabling them to vote on key proposals and protocol upgrades. This ensures that our community plays an active role in shaping the future direction of Gable. ### GAB Allocation At genesis, **1,000,000,000 GAB** tokens will be minted, which will become available over an approx. 4.5 year period. The tokens will be allocated as following: * 55% of tokens will be distributed to the community: **550,000,000 GAB** * 20% of tokens will be distributed to the team: 2**00,000,000 GAB** * 15% of tokens will be dedicated to cover operational expenses: **150,000,000 GAB** * 10% of tokens will be distributed to investors: **100,000,000 GAB**

Gab Genesis Allocation

**Inflation** We are committed to encourage active participation and contribution within the Gable. To ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our ecosystem, we are introducing a perpetual inflation rate of 1% per year. This inflation mechanism will come into effect after the last tokens from the initial release schedule have been distributed, approximately 4.5 years from now. This 1% annual inflation will **completely** be dedicated for participation on the protocol, by the community.
