Tokenomics

ROUTE is the coordination token for Arc Route, with a fixed total supply of one billion (1,000,000,000). It launches on Robinhood Chain via the Pons launchpad. Its role is to align participants around the operation and governance of the routing system. The contract address will be announced at launch — before then, there is no official CA, and any token claiming to be ROUTE is an impersonation.

These are deliberately stated as facts rather than projections. The fixed supply and intended network are committed; everything that depends on Genesis is marked as coming soon and will be disclosed as those decisions are made.

ROUTE's intended utility spans governance, routing incentives, and future protocol participation. Governance gives holders a voice in decisions about the system's operation; routing incentives align participants who contribute to routing and settlement; future protocol participation covers roles the token may play as the system matures beyond Genesis.

These utilities are described as intended functions of the token. The mechanisms through which each operates will be specified as part of the post-Genesis tokenomics disclosure.

Allocations, emissions schedules, vesting terms, treasury policy, and unlock schedules are not yet finalized. They are labeled as coming soon rather than estimated, because tokenomics invented in advance of the decisions that govern it would be misleading. The full tokenomics documentation — including the detailed economics page — will be published as these elements are determined.

The official contract address for ROUTE will be announced on Arc Route's verified channels at launch on Pons. Always verify the address before interacting. Until then, there is no official CA — any token claiming to be ROUTE is an impersonation.
