# Tokenomics
**At a macro level, MODA DAO tokenomics are designed around the** [**Web3 Sustainability Loop**](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/the-web3-sustainability-loop-b2a4097a36e)**, originally designed by Ocean Protocol in September 2020.**
The Web3 Sustainability Loop posits that in order to create a sustainable ecosystem, a DAO (or any other Web3 based protocol for that matter) should aim to create a positive feedback out of its token. MODA's approach is simple;
* Allow new members to purchase MODA tokens
* Give members the ability to vote on MODA proposals
* Ensure MODA proposals (proposed by the core team) contain token buybacks/grants which are then quickly enacted
Token buybacks aim to benefit in the following ways;
* Improves $MODA liquidity, incentivising the continued purchase of MODA tokens from new partners and members
* Makes more $MODA available in the treasury to distribute back to staking rewards, potential voting rewards and artist grants
Grants aim to benefit in the following ways;
* Enables musicians to gain support in building their careers
* Ensures consistent dissemination of $MODA token into the wider ecosystem
* Puts the power of $MODA back into the hands of those who care about the project most

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://modadocs.gitbook.io/moda-dao-gitbook/tokenomics.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
