# Longterm Interest Mechanism (LIM)

LIM

In order to maintain sustainability and future growth, we have introduced a Longterm Interest Mechanism (LIM) component which will award $AYZ token holders with continued compound interest in perpetuity.

Each Interest Cycle is seconds in length and is referred to as an **EPOCH**. 

There are 10,512,000 EPOCH's in 1 year.

**EPOCH 1 - 10,512,000:** 0.02604% every EPOCH **(First 12 Months)**

**EPOCH 10,512,001- 21,024,000:** 0.02604% every EPOCH **(Next 6 months)**

**EPOCH 21,024,001 - 31,536,000:** 0.02604% every EPOCH **(Next 6.5 Years)**

**And so on until max supply is reached after 12 years.**

Initial supply is 381,339.46404 and max supply is 100,000,000,000
