The Cortex Token is governed by the CortexDAO. ## **Maximum Supply** Total Supply is **271,828,182 CXD.** ## **Rewards** Liquidity Provider rewards for the CXD/USDC Curve pool will be paid in CXD.

Other rewards include rewards for public Liquidity Mining, rewards for community initiatives and rewards for Core Contributors. ## **Utility** The CXD token can be [locked](/tokenomics/usdcxd/locking-cxd-for-vlcxd.md) for 1 week to 4 years to enable the following features: * DAO voting * Index boost * Fee distribution --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
