# Tokenomics & Mdrops
## SEND Tokenomics
[$SEND](https://x.com/search?q=%24SEND\&src=cashtag_click) has a total supply of 100M. Here's the breakdown:
* Community: 65%
* Investors: 20%
* Team: 15%
SEND tokenomics are designed to put the community first.
## What are Mdrops?
Mdrops are a new token distribution model for SEND. Here’s how it works:
1. When you redeem your SEND allocation, you’ll receive mSEND, which you’ll use to claim SEND.
2. Claiming SEND early comes with a penalty fee, which is paid in SUI. This reduces volatility and increases demand for SUI.
3. The mSEND penalty decreases linearly over time:\
• 3 months for Points & Ecosystem allocations. \
• 6 months for Team & Investor allocations. \
• 12 months for SAVE allocations.
4. On the maturity date (e.g., after 3 months for Points & Ecosystem allocations) you can claim the full SEND tokens without any penalty.
40% of SEND be airdropped with the mdrop mechanism:
* 20% to points holders and early users.
* 5% to ecosystem communities ([@rootlets\_nft](https://x.com/rootlets_nft), capsules, and more)
* 15% to SAVE holders (on Solana)
Mdrops allow for a high initial float without overwhelming selling pressure, while aligning long term holders.
## Unlocks
Unlocks are as follows:
* Mdrops are unlocked on day 1
* Investors unlock over 2 years
* Team unlocks over 4 years
The unlock schedule was designed to promote long term commitment and avoid high inflation.
