# Tokenomics

1. TGE: It stands for "Token Generation Event." It typically refers to the initial distribution of tokens in a cryptocurrency project as of the time of listing on the centralized exchange.
2. 0%: The "0%" indicates the initial amount of equity or tokens that are vested at the start of the vesting period. In this case, it suggests that no equity or tokens are initially vested at the TGE.
3. 8-month cliff: The "8-month cliff" refers to a period of time during which no equity or tokens are vested. In this scenario, it means that for the first 8 months after the TGE, no equity or tokens will be vested.
4. Linear vesting: "Linear vesting" is a type of vesting schedule where equity or tokens are vested gradually over time. In this case, it implies that the equity or tokens will vest in a linear manner after the 8-month cliff.
5. 5 or 4-month: The "5 or 4-month" indicates the duration of the vesting schedule after the 8-month cliff. It suggests that the equity or tokens will be vested over a period of 5 or 4 months following the initial 8-month cliff.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bumup.gitbook.io/vanilla/tokenomics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
