## Overview

META is the governance and utility token of the MetaDAO protocol. This page covers supply, distribution, and issuance.

## Token Migration

<Warning>
  **Active Migration**: MetaDAO is migrating from legacy METAC to META. If you hold METAC, please migrate.

### Fetch Supply via JSON-RPC

Query any Solana RPC with `getTokenSupply`:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getTokenSupply","params":["METAwkXcqyXKy1AtsSgJ8JiUHwGCafnZL38n3vYmeta"]}'
```

For REST endpoints and full API docs, see [api-docs.metadao.fi](https://api-docs.metadao.fi/introduction).

### Maximum Supply

<Warning>
  **No Hard Cap**: META has no token-program-level cap. Mint authority is governance-controlled, not a human operator. Supply increases only via governance-approved proposals.
</Warning>

* No hard cap enforced by the token contract
* All issuance must be proposed and pass futarchy
* No silent or discretionary minting

### Initial Distribution

* 10M tokens at launch, fair launch mechanism
* No private sales or insider allocations at launch

## Issuance Mechanism

New META tokens are minted only through governance:

1. **Proposal** — Anyone can create one
2. **Stake** — 200,000 tokens (2%) staked for proposal to go live
3. **Markets** — 3-day conditional trading period
4. **Execution** — If traders judge issuance will increase value, tokens are minted

**Governance controls:** Market-based approval, transparent onchain process, no unilateral minting.
