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. Rewards are issued with a liquidity gauge, keeping the doors open to earn additional CRV and CVX rewards in the future. 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 This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.cortexdao.com/tokenomics/usdcxd.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
