# Tokenomics

The **Solana Sky Pilots tokenomics model** is designed to connect the full ecosystem into one long-term economic structure.

This includes:

* community rewards
* ecosystem growth
* treasury strength
* team and contributor alignment
* product expansion
* future token participation

At the center of this model is **$PILOT**, the main ecosystem token of Solana Sky Pilots.

### $VPILOT and $PILOT Connection

The tokenomics model of Solana Sky Pilots is not built around only one token.

It is built around a two-layer structure:

* **$VPILOT** as the current XP and reward token
* **$PILOT** as the long-term main ecosystem token

This connection matters because:

* **$VPILOT** is used as the reward layer today
* **$VPILOT** is swappable into **$PILOT** during TGE
* **10% of the full $PILOT supply** is reserved for **$VPILOT holders**

This creates a direct bridge between current ecosystem participation and future token participation.

### Why the Tokenomics Model Matters

The tokenomics structure is designed to balance multiple parts of the ecosystem.

It supports:

* early-stage funding
* public participation
* liquidity and listings
* current reward holders
* long-term team alignment
* treasury strength
* community incentives
* ecosystem expansion

This creates a broader economic structure instead of relying on a single short-term token event.

### Tokenomics Inside the Solana Sky Pilots Ecosystem

The tokenomics model is connected to the wider Solana Sky Pilots network, including:

* **Castle Tools**
* **Castle Bots**
* **Castle Services**
* **MystiKeys**
* **Sky Pilots NFTs**
* **$VPILOT**

This means the token economy is part of a wider infrastructure ecosystem and not separate from the products and communities being built around it.

### Long-Term Direction

The goal of the Solana Sky Pilots tokenomics model is to support long-term ecosystem growth.

That includes:

* rewarding early participation
* supporting community incentives
* funding ecosystem expansion
* aligning products and token structure
* creating a bridge from current reward activity into the future main token layer
