# $ABNK token: governance and utility on AgentBank

> The $ABNK token powers AgentBank governance and utility — 100M max supply, ERC-20Votes, with staking, fee capture, and veABNK vote-escrow mechanics.

`$ABNK` is the governance and utility token of the AgentBank protocol. It is an ERC-20 token with ERC-20Permit and ERC-20Votes extensions, deployed natively on Mantle with omnichain bridging via LayerZero OFT. Holding and locking ABNK gives you voting power over protocol parameters, a share of weekly fee revenue, and priority in the intent auction system.

| Property | Value |

| Symbol | ABNK |
| Standard | ERC-20 + ERC-20Votes + ERC-20Permit |
| Max supply | 100,000,000 ABNK |
| Decimals | 18 |
| Chain | Mantle (native) |
| Contract | `0x5C101D893c2860067b010b615E3a6812439f85F8` |

## Token utility

ABNK serves four purposes in the protocol:

### 1. Governance (veABNK voting)

Lock ABNK to receive veABNK voting power. veABNK holders vote on:

* Protocol parameter changes (auction duration, slash rates, fee splits)
* New strategy and code hash approvals
* Treasury fund allocation
* Emergency circuit breaker activation (67% supermajority required)

See [veABNK](https://0xcaptain.mintlify.site/token/veabnk.md) for locking mechanics.

### 2. Analyst staking and security

* **Minimum analyst stake**: 1,000 ABNK to register as an analyst (slashable)
* **Solver bond augmentation**: ABNK bonds accepted at 1.5× multiplier vs stablecoins
* **Protocol insurance**: Staked ABNK serves as backstop capital for vault losses

### 3. Fee capture

Protocol fees flow through ABNK:

* **80%** of protocol fees → veABNK holders (weekly distribution)
* **10%** of protocol fees → treasury
* **10%** of protocol fees → burned (deflationary)

### 4. Access and incentives

* **Signal NFT minting**: Requires 50 ABNK burn per mint
* **Intent auction priority**: Higher ABNK stake = priority in tiebreakers
* **Reputation bootstrapping**: Burn up to 500 ABNK/epoch to accelerate new analyst reputation (capped at 2× normal rate)

## Supply distribution

| Allocation | Amount | % | Vesting |
| - | - | - | - |
| Protocol rewards | 35,000,000 | 35% | Emitted over 5 years |
| Team & contributors | 20,000,000 | 20% | 1yr cliff, 3yr linear |
| Treasury | 15,000,000 | 15% | Governance-controlled |
| Seed investors | 10,000,000 | 10% | 6mo cliff, 2yr linear |
| Strategic investors | 8,000,000 | 8% | 6mo cliff, 18mo linear |
| Liquidity mining | 7,000,000 | 7% | To LPs over 2 years |
| Ecosystem grants | 3,000,000 | 3% | Governance-approved |
| Airdrop | 2,000,000 | 2% | Immediate (anti-sybil) |

## Deflationary mechanisms

ABNK supply decreases over time through:

* **10% of protocol fees** converted to ABNK and burned weekly
* **Signal NFT minting** — 50 ABNK burned per mint
* **Reputation burns** — up to 500 ABNK per analyst per epoch

Estimated burn rate at maturity: \~85,000 ABNK/month (1.02% of supply annually).

## Cross-chain availability

ABNK is bridgeable to Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base via LayerZero OFT. Total supply is conserved across all chains:

```
supply_mantle + supply_ethereum + supply_arbitrum + supply_base = total_minted
```
