Jurors receive arbitration fees for reviewing evidence and voting coherently on disputes (supply-side fees).

Kleros is a third party arbitration and dispute resolution system built on Ethereum and Gnosis. Kleros was founded by Federico Ast, Clémenet Lesaege and Nicolas Wagner, and was launched in 2019.

PNK tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They do not currently take a cut of the total fees taken by coherent jurors (revenue).

# Kleros Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Kleros token supply maximum metric represents the theoretical maximum number of PNK (Pinakion) tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol's tokenomics design. This metric provides a constant reference point of 764,626,704 tokens, established at the protocol's launch on March 15, 2018. The metric answers the business question of what is the total token supply cap for Kleros, which is essential for understanding token scarcity, inflation potential, and overall tokenomics structure.

## 2. Data sources

This metric relies on:
- **Protocol specifications**: The maximum token supply is derived from Kleros protocol's original tokenomics design and smart contract specifications
- **Token deployment documentation**: Launch date and supply parameters established during the initial token deployment
- **Protocol governance documentation**: Any formal documentation that codifies the maximum supply parameters

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply definition
- **Purpose**: Establishes the fundamental tokenomics constants for Kleros
- **Logic**: The calculation uses hardcoded protocol constants rather than blockchain data. The maximum supply of 764,626,704 PNK tokens represents the theoretical upper limit established in the protocol's design. The launch date is set to March 15, 2018, marking when the Kleros protocol and its tokenomics became active.
- **Key fields**: The `token_supply_maximum` field contains the fixed value of 764,626,704 tokens, `timestamp` marks the protocol launch date, and `timestamp_grain` specifies daily granularity for reporting

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: Since this is a single-component metric with hardcoded values, no complex aggregation is required
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable as this metric measures token quantity, not value
- **Time aggregation**: The metric uses daily granularity and applies a fill-forward strategy, meaning the same maximum supply value (764,626,704 tokens) is reported for every day from the protocol launch date through the present
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is the constant maximum supply of 764,626,704 PNK tokens, maintained consistently across all reporting periods since the protocol's launch on March 15, 2018
