# XRPL AMM Token incentives Methodology

## 1. Overview

Token incentives measures the value of native tokens distributed by XRPL AMM to supply-side participants, demand-side users, or other stakeholders as compensation. For XRPL AMM, this metric is set to zero. XRP was fully pre-mined at genesis with no ongoing token issuance, and the XRP Ledger operates without protocol-level staking rewards, validator incentives, or inflationary mechanisms. XRPL AMM liquidity providers earn fees from trading activity rather than token incentives.

## 2. Data sources

- **None**: This metric is set to a constant value and does not consume blockchain events

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

Token incentives is hardcoded to zero. This reflects the XRP Ledger's tokenomics design where all XRP was created at launch and no additional tokens are minted or distributed as incentives. XRPL AMM pools compensate liquidity providers exclusively through trading fees rather than token rewards.
