# What Are Elata Apps?
> Tokenized applications on the Elata protocol with built-in economics, governance, and community tools.
## The Idea

Leading to our iOS/Android launch, we will implement an abstracted version of the user interface, running all economic features under the hood. Transfers, fees, and other economic variables will get routed under the hood and be out-of-sight from end users.
Under the hood, an Elata app is a tokenized application deployed on the Elata protocol. Each app gets its own ERC-20 token, a bonding curve for price discovery, a staking vault, contributor splits, and governance hooks.
You build the product. The protocol handles token launch, fee routing, liquidity, and community infrastructure.
***
## What You Get When You Launch
Every app deployed through the protocol receives:
| Component | What It Does |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **App Token** | ERC-20 with 10M supply, distributed 50/25/25 (curve/team/ecosystem) |
| **Bonding Curve** | Constant-product price discovery until graduation at 42,000 ELTA |
| **Staking Vault** | Lets token holders stake and signal commitment |
| **Vesting Wallet** | 25% team allocation with configurable vesting |
| **Ecosystem Vault** | 25% reserved for ecosystem incentives |
| **Contributor Split** | Pull-based payout system for up to 150-200 contributors |
Total launch cost: **110 ELTA** (10 ELTA registration fee + 100 ELTA bonding curve seed). ELTA is the protocol's native token with a fixed 77M supply.
***
## How It Works
1. **Register** your app with metadata and a Safe wallet (10 ELTA).
2. **Launch** the token stack with a 100 ELTA seed.
3. **Trade** on the bonding curve while the app builds traction.
4. **Graduate** when reserves hit 42,000 ELTA, creating a locked DEX liquidity pair.
5. **Operate** with community tools: tournaments, items, staking, and governance.
The full sequence is covered in [App Lifecycle](/apps/app-lifecycle).

## Who This Is For
* **Builders** who want to launch a tokenized app without building their own economic infrastructure
* **Users** who want to discover, trade, and participate in app ecosystems
* **Communities** that benefit from transparent fee routing and governance
