# Tokenomics

Array has made significant innovations in its tokenomics, deviating from the traditional governance token approach and providing more practical value to the protocol's dual tokens - $ARA and $USDR. $ARA is controlled by ArrayGo, an AI algorithm of smart contract, which ensures its stable growth. On the other hand, $USDR is the only consumable token in the ecosystem anchored to 1/4 the value of $ARA and can only be minted by staking $ARA.

Features:

Initial price of $ARA & $USDR: $1

Completely fair launching mechanism:

* Minted from zero initial supply
* No limit on total supply
* No seed or private investment

Every investors can buy $ARA at a price of $1.
