# HUNT (ERC20)

**HUNT is the token that connects Hunt Town's product economy.** It backs the [Factory NFT](/factory-nft/overview.md), and it is the reserve behind Co-op project tokens and other HUNT-backed tokens on Mint Club.

## The core asset: the Factory NFT

Every Factory NFT holds an equal share of the HUNT in the Factory NFT contract on Ethereum. Product revenue and marketplace royalties add HUNT to it, with no fixed schedule or amount. See [The NAV Vault](/factory-nft/nav-vault.md).

## The reserve for HUNT-backed tokens

In the [Co-op](/co-op/overview.md), HUNT **backs project tokens** in bonding-curve reserves, and other HUNT-backed tokens on Mint Club work the same way. Buying one locks HUNT in its reserve. See [HUNT as the Reserve Token](/hunt/reserve-token.md).

## Supply

Past burns are recorded in [Buyback & Burn](/hunt/buyback-and-burn.md). How supply is measured across Ethereum and Base is in [Supply & Distribution](/hunt/supply.md).
