# Longterm Interest Cycle (LIC)

Longterm Interest Cycle (LIC)

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

Each Interest Cycle is 10 minutes in length and is referred to as an **EPOCH**.

There are 52,560 EPOCH's in the First 1 year.

**EPOCH 1 - 52,560:** 0.0158% every EPOCH **(First 12 Months)**

**EPOCH 52,561 - 78,840:** 0.00211% every EPOCH **(Next 6 months)**

**EPOCH 78,841 - 420,480:** 0.00014% every EPOCH **(Next 6.5 Years)**

**EPOCH 420,481:** 0.00002% every EPOCH **(In Perpetuity until max supply is reached)**
