# $PRICE Token — Overview

$PRICE is official Price Discussion merch, live on Ethereum mainnet: 100,000,000 tokens, minted once and fixed forever, given to the communities PD comes from.

## In one sentence

$PRICE is the official PD token — like the shirt from the merch table instead of a bootleg print — and owning the official one is the whole point; it gives no rights, no revenue and no perks on Price Discussion.

## What you can do with it

Hold it, send it to other PDers, and see where you rank on the Top Holders board on [@price](/price). The full picture is on [Official Merch](/docs/price-token/no-platform-utility).

## What $PRICE is

A plain fixed-supply ERC-20 — the entire contract is a constructor and an import. 18 decimals, 100,000,000 supply minted in a single mint at deployment, no further mint authority, no admin role, no upgrade path. It transfers like any token.

It's tied to Price Discussion by name, branding and origin — that's what makes it official. It has **no contract-level connection to any other PD system**: PD's contracts never read it, and no feature behaves differently for holders.

## What $PRICE is not

- **Not a stake in Price Discussion.** No share, equity, ownership or economic interest in PD as a platform or business.
- **Not a claim on revenue.** Platform proceeds flow through PD's on-chain fee mechanics to PD's wallets; holders have no claim on them.
- **Not a vote.** PD is not a DAO. There is no proposal system and no governance role.
- **Not a key to anything.** No mint privileges, no fee discounts, no early access, no gated anything.

## The distribution

| Allocation | Share | Recipient |
| --- | --- | --- |
| fxhash community | 75% | The validated fxhash community wallet list, flat per wallet |
| Founder | 10% | Brendon, one labeled wallet |
| WTBS | 10% | WTBS |
| newpdogs | 5% | The early members of the PD Discord |

Nobody bought it. All of it is pushed directly to wallets at launch — nothing to claim, no deadline, no proof to submit. Mechanics on the [Tokenomics](/docs/price-token/tokenomics) page.
