# 11.1 - Native Token ($POLA) & Economic Parameters

The `$POLA` token functions as the network’s foundational settlement, security, and coordination asset. Its economic design prioritizes long-term stability, predictable circulation, and alignment with institutional treasury management practices.

| Property                 | Specification                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total Supply**         | `210,000,000,000 $POLA` (fixed at genesis, permanent cap)                                                                                                                                                |
| **Decimals**             | `6` (1 $POLA = 1,000,000 micro-$POLA)                                                                                                                                                                    |
| **Post-Genesis Minting** | `None` — absolute supply ceiling enforced at protocol level                                                                                                                                              |
| **Inactivity Clawback**  | Wallets with zero outbound signed transactions for `100 years` are swept into a governance-controlled Redistribution Pool. Funds finance validator rewards, ecosystem grants, and public infrastructure. |
| **Fee Burning**          | `None` — fees are recirculated to sustain network operations. Principal slashing is explicitly disabled; only reward forfeiture applies.                                                                 |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://polarischain-1.gitbook.io/polarischain/11.-payment-infrastructure/11.1-native-token-usdpola-and-economic-parameters.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.
