# SHIM Tokenomics

SHIM is designed with a sustainable and transparent tokenomic structure to support ecosystem growth, incentivize community participation, and ensure long-term market stability. Below is a detailed breakdown of how SHIM functions as the core asset within the ShimaNest economy:

## **Total Supply and Decimals**

The total supply of SHIM is capped at **20,000,000,000 tokens** with **18 decimal places**, adhering to the BEP-20 standard on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). This fixed supply ensures scarcity, while the decimal precision enables granular microtransactions throughout the platform.

## **Taxation System Breakdown**

SHIM implements a low-friction dual-tax mechanism specifically optimized for buy and sell events, while enabling seamless transfers without cost:

* **Buy Tax**: 5%
* **Sell Tax**: 5%
* **Transfer Tax**: 0%

This structure encourages fluid trading and ecosystem interactions without penalizing users for internal wallet operations or staking.

## **Marketing Fee: Allocation & Purpose**

**2% of each buy/sell transaction** is allocated as a **Marketing Fee**. This fee is automatically converted to BNB and directed to a dedicated wallet to fund:

* Global awareness campaigns
* Influencer collaborations
* Exchange listings
* PR and content production
* Community-driven promotion initiatives

This ensures that SHIMA maintains continuous visibility and growth momentum in the crypto space.

## **Liquidity Fee: Ensuring Price Stability**

**3% of each buy/sell transaction** is allocated to the **Liquidity Pool**. These funds are automatically routed to the liquidity provider contracts, enhancing:

* Trading depth
* Market stability
* Reduced slippage for large transactions

This mechanism strengthens SHIM’s price resilience against volatility and supports healthy on-chain liquidity.

## **Transfer Fee: Zero Cost Internal Transactions**

All **peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers** of SHIM are **completely tax-free**. This includes transfers between wallets, within dApps, or while interacting with Shima ecosystem components such as staking, games, or referrals—creating a fluid and efficient experience for users without unnecessary costs.

## **Fee Distribution Mechanism**

Taxes collected from buy and sell transactions are handled by the smart contract in real-time. The system automatically:

* Converts the marketing fee portion to BNB
* Transfers the converted BNB to the marketing wallet
* Adds the liquidity fee portion to the SHIM/BNB pool on PancakeSwap

This **fully automated and trustless** fee distribution model minimizes human intervention, ensures transparency, and enhances long-term sustainability.

SHIM’s tokenomic design balances community incentives, ecosystem funding, and trading efficiency—laying a solid financial foundation for ShimaNest’s mission of building a gamified, sustainable, and user-empowered Web3 universe.
