Tokenomics

The Pawtato Token ($TATO) is the backbone of the Pawtato ecosystem, driving utility, governance, and rewards across DeFi, gaming and the community. The tokenomics define the utility, total supply, distribution and allocation strategy, ensuring a balanced and sustainable model that supports long-term growth.

Beware of scams: Multiple fake tokens are impersonating Pawtato (TATO), and some are even being sent directly to users wallets. Make sure you are always interacting with the correct TATO token that matches the token address listed in our official docs.

The token has a fixed supply with no additional emissions, combined with ongoing planned token burns to create a deflationary supply over time.
