# $YANG (Governance Token)
$YANG
Name: Yang
Ticker: $YANG
Max Supply: 100.000.000.000
**$YANG** serves as the protocol’s Governance and Reward token. It facilitates decentralized oversight of the DAO's treasury and strategic direction.\
Furthermore, the model incentivizes long-term commitment by distributing a proportional share of the DAO’s annual revenue to participants, directly linking ecosystem success with member rewards.
**$YANG** is accumulated by staking your **$YIN** token.
* The more **$YIN** tokens you stake, the more **$YANG** tokens you accumulate.
* The More **$YANG** tokens you accumulate, the higher your Tier (Silver Tier, Golden Tier Diamond Tier)
* The Higher your Tier, the more you become eligible for annual yield rewards from the treasury
**Distribution Rate:** The distribution rate for staking is 1000 : 1.
This means that for each 10.000 $YIN tokens you stake, you will accumulate 10 $YANG Governance each day. (1 $YIN = 0.001 $YANG Governance)
***Example:***
* John stakes 1.000.000 $YIN tokens.
* John is accumulating 1000 $YANG tokens each day.
* John generates a monthly total of 30.000 $YANG tokens (30 x 1000 $YANG= 30.000 $YANG)
**In Short:**\
**$YANG turns your participation into power and profit.** Stake $YIN to earn $YANG, climb tiers, vote on decisions, submit ideas, and become eligible to receive yearly yield rewards from the DAO's success. It rewards commitment and makes you a true owner in the community.
