### **Tax Usage**
The $EVA token tax helps keep things running smoothly and supports the growth of the platform. Here’s a quick breakdown of where the funds go:
* **API Costs**: We use part of the tax to cover API fees, which help provide real-time data for our trading and auditing tools.
* **Servers**: Another chunk goes toward keeping our servers fast and reliable, so everything works without a hitch.
* **Marketing**: A portion is set aside for marketing to spread the word about EVA and build our community.
* **Infrastructure:** We also invest in improving our tech and security, making sure EVA stays up-to-date and better over time.
### Locked Supply

* 10% reserved for team (vesting schedule to be released)
* 5%, locked for 2 months, is reserved for late-stage advisory/partnerships.
