# 6.2 Sub-Token: IPAD

IPAD is an application-layer token within the **GamePad** ecosystem, primarily serving the decentralized contract exchange and its related application ecosystem.

IPAD is designed to drive ecosystem growth and application-layer activity, with the following core characteristics:

* Total: 300,000,000 tokens (fixed cap)
* No public minting or one-time airdrops
* Obtained only through genuine ecosystem contribution and long-term participation

**Core Uses and Acquisition of IPAD**

IPAD is distributed based on three key types of contribution within the **GamePad** application ecosystem:

**1. Liquidity Building**

Used to incentivize real trading activity, liquidity provision, and market-making participation in the decentralized contract exchange, promoting market depth and trading efficiency.

**2. Community and User Development**

Used to reward long-term user participation, increased trading activity, as well as community governance and ecosystem co-construction, fostering sustainable growth of the application ecosystem.

**3. Infrastructure and Application Innovation**

Used to support application innovation around the **GamePad** platform, including AI contract quantitative tools, trading strategy modules, and the development and deployment of related ecosystem products.

The distribution of IPAD is directly tied to ecosystem growth, ensuring that token allocation aligns with real usage and long-term contributions.
