# DEX Tokenomics

$[9INCH](/9inch-gitbook/tokenomics/9inch-token.md) is the governance/DAO token of the 9inch.io DEX.

**DAO** will be used to vote for community token farms.

$[9INCH](/9inch-gitbook/tokenomics/9inch-token.md) max token supply is 999,999,999,999 on both chains and is deflationary.

The whole $[9INCH](/9inch-gitbook/tokenomics/9inch-token.md) supply was minted at launch. No additional tokens can ever be minted.

$[BBC](/9inch-gitbook/tokenomics/bbc-token.md) aka **Big Bonus Coin** is the reward token, that can be earned by [providing liquidity](/9inch-gitbook/tips-tricks-and-guides/beginners-guide-to-defi/how-to-add-remove-liquidity.md) and staking the [LP tokens in a farm](/9inch-gitbook/tips-tricks-and-guides/beginners-guide-to-defi/how-to-use-farms.md). Other way to get $[BBC](/9inch-gitbook/tokenomics/bbc-token.md) is to [single side stake](/9inch-gitbook/tips-tricks-and-guides/beginners-guide-to-defi/how-to-stake.md) a supported token, though rewards are much higher on LP farming.

Part of the DEX [trading fees](/9inch-gitbook/features/fees.md) are used to [buy and burn](/9inch-gitbook/features/burning.md) the $[9INCH](/9inch-gitbook/tokenomics/9inch-token.md) and the reward token $[BBC](/9inch-gitbook/tokenomics/bbc-token.md).

PulseChain and Ethereum versions of tokens behave independently and price is reflected how the market values each side. Tokens are not interchangeable even though they can be brided to the other chain. As of writing there is e9INCH / p9INCH farm on PulseChain, that pairs with the 9INCH token bridged from Ethereum to PulseChain.
