The token that powers Inkryptus.

What is Inkryptus Token?

Inkryptus Token, which trades under the ticker INKY, is the utility token of the Inkryptus ecosystem. It is a BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain with 18 decimals, live since 11 May 2023, and its source code is verified on BscScan, so anyone can read the rules it runs by.

Inside the platform it does two things. It is what staking is activated with, and it is one side of the INKY/USDT liquidity on PancakeSwap, split across a v2 and a v3 pool, which is where its price comes from. One asset across the products, rather than a separate token for each.

How Inkryptus Token works

New INKY only ever comes from staking. There is no other source: the staking contract calls the token contract through a minter, and what it may mint in a day is a ceiling rather than a percentage that keeps running. The common plans mint up to 10,000 INKY a day, and under that ceiling the amount follows 1% of everything staked.

Arena Staking Pool mints on top of that rather than out of it, so nothing already staked is diluted by it: 5,000 INKY a day until 2,500,000 INKY is staked in it, and 10,000 INKY from then on. The most the contract can mint in a day is therefore 20,000 INKY, and the 10,000 INKY the common pools have had since 2023 is untouched.

That ceiling is the reason the supply curve flattens as the platform grows. Below it, emission tracks how much is staked; above it, more staking does not mean more issuance, only a smaller share each.

Rewards land daily and can be staked again or withdrawn. The 1% rate and the common pools’ 10,000 INKY have not moved since deploy; what Arena Staking Pool added is a second ceiling beside them, not a bigger one. The number that cannot move is the 200,000,000 total, and every daily ceiling is counted against it.

History

The contract was deployed on 11 May 2023 and has not been replaced since. At deploy, 10,000,000 INKY were minted into the Initial Mintage Vault, a multisig contract that releases them according to the platform's economic plan.

Everything issued after that came from staking, one day at a time. The token has traded without interruption since then, on the same pool and under the same emission rules.

The Initial Mintage Vault

The 10,000,000 INKY minted at deploy never entered circulation. They went into the Initial Mintage Vault, a multisig contract, which is why circulating supply is quoted as total supply minus whatever the vault still holds.

The vault has been drawn on since. What has come out of it has gone into liquidity, deepening the INKY/USDT pools so that orders fill without moving the price. It can also fund the ordinary work of running a project: marketing, campaigns, and the partners who carry them.

So the balance today is not the 10,000,000 it started with, and it will keep moving. Every crypto project holds a treasury like this one. The part worth caring about is whether you can watch it: this vault sits at a public address, listed further down this page, so its balance and every movement out of it can be read on-chain.

Supply and tokenomics

The maximum supply is 200,000,000 INKY, enforced by the contract itself: the cap is immutable and there is no function that could raise it. Anyone can confirm this by calling cap() on BscScan.

Total supply grows a little every day as staking emits, which is why the figure on this site moves. Circulating supply is that total minus what sits locked in the Initial Mintage Vault, so the two are quoted separately rather than as one number.

Because Inkryptus is custodial, most user balances live inside platform contracts, and those contracts appear as large holders on-chain. That is what a custody model looks like from the outside, and the addresses are listed publicly so the concentration can be read for what it is.
