# SOP Token Distribution SOP token will be distributed with fixed genesis allocation and by ongoing issuance modifiable by governance. The choice to launch with ongoing issuance is grounded in the desire to continually align the network’s growth with new actors and their relative contributions, rather than concentrating governance power in the hands of early actors. Should the community see fit, a portion of ongoing token issuance will be allocated to the most active users of the protocol, dictated based on platform metrics and varying contributions in the form of discoverability, streams and platform engagement. --- # 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.
